Keke Palmer Appears Distressed in Her First Public Appearance Following the Darius Jackson Abuse Claims


Keke Palmer was seen for the first time after obtaining a restraining order against ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson and interim custody of their young son due to domestic abuse.

Palmer, 30, was photographed leaving her Los Angeles home in the Studio City neighborhood on Saturday, clutching her eight-month-old son, Leodis.

Despite her glitz, the Nope actress appeared noticeably troubled when she joined a call, even becoming teary-eyed at one point.

As the anxious new mom walked into a car, a member of her entourage wrapped a consoling arm around her.

The sighting came just a few days after disturbing security footage surfaced showing Jackson repeatedly assaulting her at home, according to Page Six.

Jackson, who has remained silent about the allegations, was also seen in LA the day before, keeping his head down as he made his way over to a friend’s house, where he stayed for approximately an hour before returning home.

Jackson and Palmer started dating in 2021, and rumors of a separation had been circulating for weeks before Page Six revealed a few days ago that Palmer was seeking protection from Jackson for herself and her son.
