Keke Palmer Opens Up About Her Relationship With Ex Darius Jackson; Reveals Why She Had to Get a Restraining Order

by

As a lifestyle expert reflecting upon Keke Palmer’s life journey, I find her story to be a profound testament to resilience and self-empowerment. Her ability to navigate complex situations with maturity beyond her years is truly inspiring.

Keke Palmer is set to reveal details about her complicated past relationship with Darius Jackson, her former partner, in her upcoming book Master of Me: Navigating Your Personal Narrative. This book will be her second memoir, following I Don’t Belong to You: Silencing the Clamor and Finding Your Voice, which was published in 2017. In a recent interview with PEOPLE for their cover story, she expresses that she has a tale to share now.

As a 31-year-old, I’ve often found myself navigating mature scenarios both at work and in life. Looking back, it’s surprising to realize that I’m still relatively young. It seems that maturity comes naturally to me, or perhaps I’ve had a head start due to my experiences. However, I must admit that there are also times when I act more like the young woman I am, and those moments remind me of my youthful spirit.

In her book, one of the topics she delves into is this paradox as well as her past relationship with Jackson. Shortly after the birth of their son Leo, their apparently harmonious partnership disintegrated when Jackson publicly criticized Palmer’s choice of clothing on social media. Specifically, he commented on a photo of her wearing a sheer dress to an Usher concert by saying, “It’s the outfit… you’re a mom.

This led to strong public criticism of Jackson, accompanied by accusations of domestic violence and a contentious custody dispute. In her book, she admits it was the toughest ordeal she’s ever faced. Now that they have reached a harmonious co-parenting arrangement, Palmer is willing to reflect on their past relationship.

As she explained, their relationship began to falter prior to her becoming pregnant. She described their situation as each having separate feelings of loneliness, yet finding solace in navigating that loneliness together. They had decided to have a baby, and her pregnancy appeared like a fairy tale from the outside, but there were significant issues hidden from view, as she put it, “There was much more happening behind the scenes.

At some point, the situation escalated to violence. In her plea for a temporary restraining order, she disclosed incidents from an abusive relationship where Jackson is accused of breaking into her home and attempting to choke her, which was reportedly captured on video. During the court proceedings, he countered by accusing Palmer of physically harming him due to disagreements over their son’s custody.

In time, she came to accept forgiveness and tranquility, even expressing joy for Jackson. Furthermore, Palmer advised other survivors of domestic abuse, stating that leaving is the best course of action. “I am peacefully content now, knowing everything is being handled appropriately,” she concluded.
