Keke Palmer’s mother, Sharon, could take legal action against Darius Jackson after leaking audio of her threatening to put a bullet in his head. While Darius and Keke’s publicized separation resulted in a restraining order against Jackson, their parents are now involved. However, in an attempt to disprove the allegations against him, Jackson leaked an audio clip of Sharon Palmer threatening to put a bullet in his head. Still, it seems as though Jackson could face charges related to the clip.
Per Radar Online, Keke Palmer’s mom said that she “feared” her daughter’s life was in danger at the time. Furthermore, she said that Darius Jackson recorded her without consent, which she claims is a violation of California law. The conversation, which was initially posted by TMZ before being removed, was addressed in Sharon Palmer’s conversation with Radar Online. “You should ask them for the entire tape,” she said. She added, “You will hear him being told to leave several times… The point where I am cussing came in after 2 mins of him refusing to leave.”
As Jackson continues to face backlash for allegations of abusing Keke Palmer, Sharon suggested that this incident further proves the claims after he was“recording me illegally.” Referring to California as a “consent state,” she claimed Jackson “does not care about the law” and “most abuser (sic) don’t care about the law.” Sharon stated that he “would not leave” Keke’s home and “was not invited in” in the first place. She said, “I feared for her life.”
So far, a temporary restraining order was granted against Darius Jackson following the incident on November 5th. Keke also gained sole custody of their son. Footage from security cameras also surfaced online that displayed Jackson physically attacking Keke Palmer. However, he has denied ever getting violent with the actress. “The stills of Darius Jackson attacking my daughter speak for themselves. No other comments are necessary,” Sharon added.
Darius Jackson, Keke Palmer’s ex-boyfriend, is firing back at domestic violence allegations made last week.
TMZ notes Jackson denies the domestic violence while also stating Keke Palmer’s mom, Sharon, threatened his life. According to Jackson, Sharon stated she would put “a bullet in [his] head.”
Also released are text messages between Jackson and Palmer’s mothers. Jackson’s mother is addressing the alleged threat, while Palmer states Darius showed a violent history and once choked his sister.

Fallout from Keke Palmer’s accusations of domestic abuse against her ex-partner Darius Jackson continues. According to PEOPLE, Palmer has been granted temporary sole physical and legal custody.
According to PEOPLE, Palmer had desired an amicable split.
“She gave him a lot of chances to do the right thing,” a source detailed. “Keke tried so hard to have an amicable split and arrangement [custody]. She needed to prioritize her safety and the safety of her baby. She wants the best for Leo. She did not want it to get to this point. But she did what she had to do.”
An additional hearing is set for Dec. 5.
Keke Palmer has filed for permanent full custody of her 8-month-old son with Darius Jackson, Leodis. Additionally, Palmer has agreed to pay “reasonable expenses of pregnancy and birth” but asks each person to care for their attorneys.
The court can “make orders” for child support and “issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party.”
According to PageSix, Palmer denied the option of joint custody and also filed a restraining order against Jackson. The order cites physical and emotional abuse. The documents also state “many instances of physical violence,” claiming Jackson has destroyed personal property, tossed Palmer’s items into the street, and tossed her car keys to prevent her from leaving.
Jackson is also accused of hitting Palmer in front of their son, threatening suicide if she left him, harassment, and “other physical and emotional abuse.”
Palmer and Jackson officially split last month, but Palmer states she has security footage as recent as Nov. 5 showing Jackson trespassing at her home. Jackson is stated to have “threatened [her], then physically attacked [her] — lunging for [her] neck, striking [her], throwing [her] over the couch and stealing [her] phone when [she] told him [she] was going to call the police.”
Palmer stated the relationship officially wrapped in early October due to “physical and emotional abuse inflicted on [her] by [him] throughout [their] relationship.”
“It is because of our son, Leo, that I was finally able to end my relationship with Darius once and for all and escape the abuse,” Palmer wrote. “Leo is the most important thing in the entire world to me; he needs and deserves to be safe and grow up in an environment free from violence.”
Palmer stated her leaving Jackson has escalated the attacks, citing his actions as “more unhinged, volatile and dangerous.”
Keke Palmer also released images from her security camera showing Jackson engaged in attacking her.

Keke Palmer’s mom, Sharon Palmer, shared a text message she received from Darius Jackson’s mom on social media, earlier this week. The back and forth came after Keke accused her ex-boyfriend of domestic violence and filed a restraining order against him. She also is seeking sole custody of their 8-month-old son Leodis “Leo” Andrellton.
Darius’ mother texted Sharon after a video surfaced of her threatening Darius. She fired back at Sharon: “I have tried not to get involve in my son’s personal business, but I heard that you are going to put a Bullet in my sons 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.”

Sharon also went on a rant about her daughter’s relationship on social media. “I dare you [to] mess with my family,” she captioned one post. “Family means everything to me! You and your family act like sociopaths… like the world can’t see it. You are phony! I saw you from day one. My daughter is kind and our family treated you with kindness, and this is how you treat it. I won’t take this laying down anymore. I’M DONE!”
Sharon Palmer Shares Texts From Darius Jackson’s Mother
She also called out Darius’ brother. “I went to Sarunas over a year ago and told him that his brother was abusive to my daughter. And he said, ‘Well, I used to be like that too.’ So now he’s posting on Twitter like he’s this special guy when we know he’s the biggest f—boy in Hollywood.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s split on HotNewHipHop.
The internet has been standing proudly behind our big sister, Keke Palmer, for years now. From her earliest roles in Jump In! and True Jackson VP to the birth of her first child this year, the 30-year-old has happily taken us along on the ride of her life off the big screen. Unfortunately, that means we’ve also had a front-row seat to the drama playing out between her and baby daddy Darius Jackson over the past few months. Things became messy between them after the personal trainer publicly shamed his co-parent for enjoying herself in a curve-hugging black dress at Usher’s Las Vegas concert.
They were able to play that off as a potential press stunt and play coy about the status of their relationship in the following weeks. As a result, reports of Palmer filing for sole custody of baby Leodis and a restraining order against Jackson last week came as a shock. After seeing visual evidence of Darius putting his hands on the Chicago native, and reading disturbing details of his empathy toward animals who eat their young, a judge understandably put some distance between the young family. As they await their early December court date, TMZ is sharing new details, including a video of Sharon Palmer seemingly threatening her grandson’s father with gun violence.
Darius Jackson Denies Keke Palmer’s Abuse Allegations
The outlet claims that when Jackson arrived at Palmer’s house to pick up Leodis to watch football, he wasn’t there. The former couple then began arguing, and before long, Keke put her mom on the phone to share some thoughts with Darius. “You motherf**ker!” Sharon yells in the clip above. “Where’s my baby?” he asks from behind the camera before things heat up even more. “You better watch out! You might get a bullet in your motherf**king head!” she adds before the audio cuts off.
At this time, Leodis’ father is denying all allegations of abuse, and it has been noted that cops failed to find probable cause to arrest him for domestic violence, or even file a report when they came to their house. Court is scheduled for December 5th, at which time the accused abuser will plead his case. Prior to TMZ sharing the alleged audio of Sharon threatening Darius Jackson, Keke Palmer’s mom had plenty to say about the personal trainer’s brother. According to the Palmer family matriarch, Sarunas J. Jackson is “the biggest f-boy in Hollywood.” Read everything Sharon had to say at the link below and let us know how you feel about today’s chilling update in the comments.

DomiNque Perry has taken to social media, clarifying a post she made following Keke Palmer’s abuse allegations against Darius Jackson. The Insecure actress, and mother of Sarunas Jackson’s daughter Zen, shared a meme of Michael Jackson eagerly eating popcorn. Some social media users perceived the post as shade towards Palmer, as it seemingly made light of the disturbing accusations. Perry made it clear that this was not her intention, revealing she was trying to “laugh to keep from crying.”
She shared a lengthy statement on the matter on her Instagram Story. Her post describes how she would never intentionally laugh in the faces of domestic violence victims. “I would never laugh at ANYONE that is subject to domestic abuse female or male,” she wrote. “As it’s known abuse comes in different definitions, silent and physical. Only the people enduring such behavior truly understand the effect. Women have been manipulated, abused, lied on for centuries, and put their head down for the fear of not being believed. We need to stop being afraid.”
Perry continued, citing her own alleged experiences with domestic abuse. “I may not be at the highest platform in my career just yet to be heard and/or supported by the public, but whenever that time comes, everyone will listen,” she wrote. Following her message, it came out that Sarunas is currently fighting to have their daughter stay in California, despite Perry having raised her in Texas since she was born. Perry wants the case to get dismissed, claiming that Sarunas’ visitation of the child is “dependent on when he expresses a desire to see her.”
She also says that “despite the emotional volatility and intimidation that [Sarunas] has directed towards” her, she’s continued “fostering a positive co-parenting relationship with [Sarunas] because [she knows] that is in Zen’s best interest.” All of this also follows Keke Palmer’s mother speaking out against Sarunas. Sharon Palmer alleges that he was well-aware that his brother was abusive.

After Darius Jackson lashed out at Keke Palmer for attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency in a sexy Givenchy dress, it became evident that trouble was afoot in their relationship. The pair welcomed their first child together, Leodis Adrellton Jackson, in early 2023, and have spent the time since navigating life as new parents. It’s obviously not an easy journey for anyone, but from Palmer’s social media posts, she made it seem as though her boyfriend made for an excellent co-parent and support system.
Unfortunately, we now know that mental and physical abuse was taking place between Leodis’ parents. According to PEOPLE, a close source made it clear that Palmer gave her man “a lot of chances” before deciding to file for a restraining order this past week. “[Keke] did what she had to do,” they told the outlet. “She gave him a lot of chances to do the right thing. Keke tried so hard to have an amicable split and arrangement [custody].”
The Chicago native has since been granted sole custody of her son, after filing documents alleging Jackson of several forms of disturbing behaviour. According to Palmer, he previously spoke about empathizing with animals who eat their young, and once practically played tug of war with her over Leodis during an angry attempt to change the months-old baby’s diaper. The details surfacing so far are chilling, but still, Darius seems confident that he’ll be seeing his little boy again before long.
The year is definitely off to a tumultuous end for Keke Palmer and her fractured family, but on the bright side, at least she and Leodis got to enjoy their first Halloween together before all hell broke loose with Darius Jackson.

Since Darius Jackson first shamed his co-parent Keke Palmer for wearing a sexy dress to Usher’s Las Vegas residency, fans of the former child star have been curious about the status of her relationship. The 30-year-old has played coy about whether she and Jackson worked through their issues, though we did see them post together a handful of times since then. While outsiders assumed that everything was going well between Palmer and her man, it turns out some serious physical abuse was allegedly unfolding behind closed doors. Now, all the receipts are coming out.
We’ve already seen stills from home security footage of Jackson putting his hands on the Chicago native multiple times. One of the instances was earlier this month, on November 5th. “Darius trespassed into my home, physically attacked me, knocked me over my couch and pinned me down, and stole my phone after I threatened to call the police,” Palmer wrote when requesting a restraining order from authorities. Interestingly, social media sleuths have uncovered a tweet from the personal trainer hinting at emotions running high, posted that same day.
“Gonna step away til the next #Eagles game,” he wrote last Sunday evening. “Tryna get my mental & emotions back on track. Go Birds.” Elsewhere, insiders have told PEOPLE that it was the scuffle between the couple during the Usher show that marked “the beginning of the end” of their relationship. The primary cause of their breakup was “the physical and emotional abuse inflicted on [her] by [him] throughout [their] relationship.”
Ahead of the weekend, even more harrowing details about Darius Jackson’s behaviour toward his co-parent and their son began to surface. According to Keke Palmer’s court documents, Leodis’ father spoke to her about understanding why animals eat their own young and once engaged in a near-match of tug of war with her while changing his diaper. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Keke Palmer’s relationship has all eyes on her for the second time this year, though things are dramatically worse this time around. The first time she and Darius Jackson turned heads was due to his jealousy over her interaction with Usher at the R&B star’s Las Vegas residency. Now, the former child star just got a restraining order against Jackson. In addition, she has sole custody of their infant son, Leodis, after filing court documents accusing her co-parent of abuse in various forms.
Among receipts shared by Palmer were stills from video footage in her home, showing Darius getting physical with her on multiple occasions. Along with those, she also shared harrowing details of comments made by Jackson in the presence of her and their son. “[He] said very disturbing things to me that cause me to feat for our son’s safety with him,” the Chicago-born actress wrote. Among the troubling statements were some about “how he understood why male animals in the wild want to eat their children.”
In addition to that, the 29-year-old suggested that “a man’s love for his child is based on if he loves the woman.” This, paired with Jackson’s history of violent outbursts while jealous are serious red flags for Palmer. Besides becoming physical with her, the new mother also claims she’s seen her co-parent taking his anger out on Leo, specifically when the baby was crying during a diaper change. “Darius started getting rough with Leo physically and I stopped in to make sure Darius would not hurt hum. [He] was angry and it almost became a tug of war with Leo,” Keke recalled.
Darius Jackson’s commentary up until this point has been almost minimal, though the embattled father of one did post a public message to Leodis promising their reunion as allegations against him began pouring out. Read what the infant’s dad had to say at the link below, and let us know what you think will happen for Keke Palmer and her co-parent going forward in the comments.

That is said to have happened on Sunday, November 5, but the lengthy filing also cites “many instances of physical violence,” including particularly disturbing abuse captured on “home security footage” on February 13, 2022, as well as “Darius destroying my personal property, including diaries and prescription eyeglasses, throwing my belongings into the street, throwing my car keys to prevent me from driving away, hitting me in front of our son, spewing profanities about me to our son, threatening to kill himself with a gun if I left him, harassment, and other physical and emotional abuse.”
