Darius Jackson, Keke Palmer’s ex-boyfriend, has angrily disputed Palmer’s abuse allegations and reacted with his own, claiming that he was intimidated by Palmer’s mother, Sharon.
TMZ reports that Jackson claims Sharon Palmer threatened to ‘put a bullet in his head’ during a violent argument over speakerphone.
On November 5, the couple was fighting about custody of their eight-month-old baby, Leodis, when the event occurred.
Keke Palmer recently obtained a restraining order against Jackson, as well as sole custody of their child, after detailing incidents of physical and emotional abuse in civil court documents.
According to TMZ, the threatening episode was a big element of Keke Palmer’s request for the restraining order, giving light on the family’s stormy relationships.
Darius claims he notified Keke of his intention to pick up their kid to watch football, but when he arrived, Leo was not at Keke’s house.
This disparity produced a furious confrontation between the ex-couple, which escalated to the point where Keke’s mother, Sharon, was called into the fray.
Sharon allegedly spewed a volley of expletives and threats, including a threat to “put a bullet in Darius’ head,” during a phone call on loudspeaker.
The argument apparently escalated to a physical level, with Darius attempting to take Keke’s phone.
According to individuals close to Keke, photographs depicting a chaotic incident on a couch were presented as part of her restraining order request last week.
According to sources, when police arrived on the scene, they found no probable cause to arrest him for domestic violence and did not file a report, lending credence to Darius’ account of events.
In an unexpected turn of events, Darius’ mother intervened, sending an angry text to Sharon after learning of the claimed threat.
TMZ obtained the text, which stated, “Hello Sharon. How are you? I have tried not to get involved in my son’s personal business, but I heard that you are going to put a Bullet in my son’s head???
Well, then now we have to involve the authorities, because you don’t respect or value yourself, and I can see no my son’s life. You might have to kill all of us. I will file a police report on you now.”
Sharon allegedly responded, “Please do not contact me with this ridiculous childish behavior. Your son choked his own sister, deal with his anger issues. If he attacks my daughter in her own place where she pays the bills, he is trespassing and anything can happen, so he should stay away. You should be very ashamed to have raised a man who fights women.”
