AceShowbiz - Darius Jackson's alleged abuse on Keke Palmer was caught on camera and now the evidence has surfaced online for everyone to see. After the actress filed for restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, photos from security footage she included in the petition have leaked online, showing his alleged violent abuse.
One incident captured in the images took place on November 5, during which Darius allegedly showed up unannounced at Keke's home. She said before 11 A.M. the fitness trainer burst into her bedroom and demanded to see their son, according to RadarOnline.com.
Darius told Keke he wanted to take their 8-month son to a football game, but when Keke opposed, she claimed Darius started screaming at her before he "lunged at me, grabbing at my neck and face, knocked me backwards over the couch, stole my phone out of my hands, and then ran out of the house." Keke said she called the police following the incident and they advised her to file the restraining order.
In her petition, Keke detailed another incident that went down in February 2022 and captured in the photos. During the incident, Keke said Darius "choked me and body slammed me onto the stairs in my home after becoming violently jealous and irrationally angry over a bikini picture." The images did show Darius lunging at Keke from behind near the stairs.
Keke claimed Darius became upset after she showed him a picture of her workout results while at a friend's party. "On the drive home, I was worried that we would get into an accident because of how angry he was. Darius spent the rest of the night yelling at me, not letting me sleep so he could keep yelling at me," she said.
"In the bedroom, he slammed me on the floor and slapped my head from side to side. The next morning, he was standing at the bottom of the stairs near the front door, screaming at me as I was coming down the stairs," she continued. "When I was almost at the bottom of the stairs, he grabbed me around the neck and body slammed me back onto the stairs."
Following her petition, RadarOnline.com reports that a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has granted Keke's motion for a temporary restraining order. The judge also granted the actress sole custody of their child until further notice.
Meanwhile, Darius' brother and Keke's mother have weighed in on the couple's drama. "The most disgusting, vile, abusive, manipulative person I have EVER encountered in my entire life.. Abuses almost everyone. Y'all will see..," Sarunas Jackson wrote in a since-deleted tweet. He added, "Just send positive energy to the babies.. Any child in the middle of something like this does not deserve it AT ALL. Wow. So damn sad."
Responding to Sarunas' tweet, Keke's mother said in a video posted on social media, "He knew his brother was abusive." Calling his tweet "ridiculous," she claimed that she went over to Sarunas' place over a year ago and told him that his brother abusive, but his response was, "I used to be like that too."
Keke's mother additionally wrote, "I dare you, mess with my family. Family means everything to me ! You and your family act like sociopaths and like the world can't see it. You are phony! And I saw you from day one, my daughter is kind and our family treated you with kindness and this is how you treat it. I won't take this laying down anymore. IM DONE!"
Denying Keke's mother's allegations, Sarunas then responded, "I NEVER ONCE SAID THAT to Sharon. NOT ONCE IN MY LIFE. I have NEVER been abusive to any of the women I ever been involved with. I'm not going to keep on with this circus. But Sharon, the world is about to hear YOUR VOICE. Very soon. And the threats you made to my family. Be well everyone.. I know it's easy to get caught up in this but make no mistake that all of this is VERY sad."
