AceShowbiz - Skai Jackson has irritated her fans for ignoring their questions about her recent legal trouble. The actress has been slammed by some social media users after she went live on TikTok, but failed to address her arrest for domestic violence.
During TikTok Live on Wednesday, August 14, the 22-year-old was bombarded by fans asking about her arrest and citation for misdemeanor battery following a public altercation with her boyfriend. "Girl what happened you and jail?" one of the questions read.
But instead of answering questions about her time behind bars, the "Jessie" alum talked about an upcoming project that she recently finished filming. "I have a TV show that I just filmed but I can't say what it is yet," she told the viewers.
Skai was immediately lambasted by some of her followers, with one accusing her of reading "fake questions" so she could dodge the inquiries surrounding her recent arrest. Another user claimed, "She's answering everything else except our questions."
Skai was arrested last week following a public fight with her boyfriend when they visited Universal CityWalk. According to TMZ, which first reported the news on Monday, the couple was seen engaging in an argument at the park.
Law enforcement sources said deputies were called to Universal CityWalk after security spotted Skai and her boyfriend's altercation which turned physical, with the actress allegedly pushing him more than once. Sources said security clocked the altercation and detained the couple until law enforcement arrived.
When deputies arrived, Skai and her boyfriend reportedly denied that they had an argument. They reportedly insisted that they were happily engaged and even expecting a baby together.
Deputies, however, reviewed video footage and saw the former Disney Channel star pushing her boyfriend. She was eventually arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery and cited, but released a few hours later.
Following her arrest, a photo resurfaced of Skai seemingly hinting at pregnancy. In the picture, she and a female friend were holding her belly. The former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant, who rocked a black dress in the image, captioned the snap with three baby emojis.
