Darius Jackson and Keke Palmer began the year as a couple that fans were excited to hear more from as they navigated their journey into parenthood together. For the Chicago native, 2023 has helped her grow into the best, most confident version of herself, though we now know drama taking place with her baby daddy behind the scenes was holding her back from reaching even further greatness. The public found out about Jackon's jealous tendencies when Palmer attended Usher's Las Vegas residency and shared a romantic, theatrical moment with the R&B crooner.
Since then, the drama has only intensified, with cousin Keke filing a restraining order against Darius a few weeks ago. A judge granted her request after seeing evidence of the physical trainer putting his hands on his partner on numerous occasions. Interestingly, this week, Jackson hit back at his ex by accusing her of abuse in his restraining order filing, specifically noting instances of her choking and hitting him.
