List of accusations Darius Jackson made against Keke Palmer

In the new filing, Jackson accused the singer of punching in the face at a birthday party in 2021 after she took alcoholic beverages. He substantiated the claim by saying Palmer’s friend Lenoria Addison tried to stop Palmer from attacking him along with saying he had texts from the ‘Alice’ star apologizing to him.

He then noted another incident from January 2022 when Palmer hit him during his birthday celebration Cancún. The scuffle allegedly left bruises on his body.

In February 2022, Jackson claimed to get hit by Palmer again when she allegedly choked and hit him inside her home after drinking alcohol.

He also recounted another incident from March 2023 when Palmer lashed out at him for an overflowing shower while calling him a "bitch, a punk ass, and a loser."

Claiming that following such incidents, Palmer would send him several emails - either berating him or apologizing. 

Though Palmer got a restraining order that mandates Jackson to stay 100 yards away from her along with the temporary custody of their son, Jackson is requesting the court to grant him another restraining order that would mandate the actress stay 100 yards away from her.

SAG-AFTRA member and actor Tyrell Ford however supported Palmer saying, "She’s innocent."

Another fan, nevertheless said, "Her mother admitted that she does. She did also. But I want to see the video and no screen shots. Whose to say she wasn’t being abusive towards him and he was attacking her back. Anything is possible nowadays."

Someone else criticized Jackson saying, "That’s rich! Coming from the guy that Berated her all over social media."

"When nothing else works you point the finger...sorry but due to your behavioral issues we don't believe you at all, and if she did hit you that's from you messing with her!" observed another.

"He is hilarious 😆dude plead your case in court not social media 🙄😬😡," said someone else.
