Darius Jackson Accuses Actress KeKe Palmer of Physical Abuse

by
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson at 'Renaissance'

KeKe Palmer has found herself entangled in a bitter legal battle with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson. Last month, Palmer was granted sole custody of their 10-month-old son, Leo, along with a restraining order against Jackson, following allegations of assault.

However, the drama has taken a new twist as Darius Jackson has now accused KeKe Palmer of being the aggressor in their tumultuous relationship. Legal documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal Jackson’s claims of physical abuse against the actress and his demand for the dismissal of the restraining order.

The documents, filed in Los Angeles on Friday, outline several alleged incidents to support Jackson’s accusations of abuse. According to Jackson, KeKe Palmer, whose real name is Lauren, has been the aggressor for a significant portion of their relationship.

One incident mentioned in the filing occurred on August 20, 2021, where Jackson claims Palmer punched him in the face during a birthday party. Jackson also accused Palmer of grabbing his arms, punching him, and bombarding him with over 200 phone calls.

Another alleged incident took place on October 24, 2021, where Jackson claims Palmer violently gripped his arm to prevent him from leaving her house. On November 17, 2021, after Jackson declined to spend the night with her, Palmer reportedly called him over 200 times and sent over 50 emails.

The filing further details instances where Jackson claims Palmer physically attacked him, leaving marks on his body. Allegations include being punched and attacked by choking and hitting. Additionally, Jackson accuses Palmer of berating him with derogatory names such as a ‘b—-,’ a ‘punk a–,’ and a ‘loser.’

These recent accusations come after Palmer was granted a temporary restraining order against Jackson, citing domestic violence and providing security footage screenshots as evidence. The footage captured moments of physical aggression from Jackson towards Palmer.

Teddy Pendergrass’ Widow Calls Tyrese A ‘Poor Businessman’ In Filed Documents

Actor/Singer Tyrese Gibson is entangled in a legal feud with Joan Pendergrass, the widow of the late R&B legend Teddy Pendergrass. The dispute revolves around the movie rights to Teddy Pendergrass’ life, and it has taken a turn with accusations of incompetence and poor business regimen.

According to reports from Radar Online, Joan Pendergrass has filed documents branding Tyrese as a “poor businessman” and claiming he is “incapable of getting a movie made.” These allegations are part of Joan’s effort to have Tyrese’s lawsuit thrown out of court.

Earlier this year, Tyrese initiated legal action against Joan, asserting that she excluded him from Teddy Pendergrass’ biopic despite his significant financial investment in the project. Tyrese, through his company Voltron Entertainment, alleged that he secured the rights to Teddy’s life in a 2011 deal with Joan. The agreement purportedly granted him the right to produce both a book and a movie in exchange for his substantial investment.

Tyrese claimed to have invested $450,000 of his own money over the past decade while working on the biopic. However, in 2022, Joan allegedly refused to extend the deal, leading to Tyrese’s lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages.

Joan, in response, denied any wrongdoing and contended that Tyrese relinquished his rights to Teddy’s life story in a 2019 agreement with Warner Bros. According to her, Voltron’s deal with Warner Bros superseded any claim Tyrese had through their 2011 agreement.

In the recent filing, Joan intensified her critique of Tyrese’s capabilities, stating that in 2019, Voltron and Tyrese were “proven incompetent at putting together a movie project about Teddy Pendergrass.” She expressed doubt about Tyrese’s business acumen and alleged that his association with the project hindered its success rather than helping it.

Joan detailed a series of events, including Voltron’s assignment of rights to Warner Bros for $85,000 and subsequent dealings with the studio. She claimed that by 2019, she had become convinced that Tyrese was “a poor businessman and incapable of getting a movie made.”

Joan demanded the dismissal of the entire case, confident that it would be exposed as a “meritless and vexatious abuse of the legal process.”

As the legal battle unfolds, both parties await a resolution that will determine the fate of the Teddy Pendergrass biopic.

Comedian/actress Tiffany Haddish is in legal trouble as she now faces charges related to a recent DUI incident. The incident occurred last month in Beverly Hills, where Haddish was arrested on suspicion of DUI after being found asleep behind the wheel of her vehicle.

According to TMZ reports, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has officially charged Tiffany Haddish in connection with the DUI arrest. The charges include driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08%. The decision to press charges comes after a thorough review of Haddish’s case.

The arrest unfolded when Tiffany Haddish was discovered slumped over the steering wheel of her car, which was obstructing a road in Beverly Hills. The circumstances surrounding the incident raised concerns about the comedian’s well-being and prompted law enforcement to intervene.

Driving under the influence is a serious offense, and Haddish now faces legal consequences for her actions that night. DUI charges can result in various penalties, including fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even jail time. The severity of the consequences often depends on factors such as the individual’s BAC, prior offenses, and the specific circumstances of the arrest.

Tiffany Haddish, known for her vibrant personality and successful career in comedy and acting, has yet to publicly address the charges. The incident serves as a reminder of the legal ramifications and potential dangers associated with drinking and driving.

As the legal process unfolds, fans and followers of Tiffany Haddish await updates on how the comedian will navigate these charges. The case also sparks conversations about the broader issue of driving under the influence, emphasizing the importance of responsible and safe choices when it comes to alcohol consumption and getting behind the wheel.

Winfrey said that the color choice – purple – had a special meaning in her life. Rightfully so and the musical version of the iconic film The Color Purple, also premiered this month. 

Winfrey was visibly fighting her emotions. She was in awe of being in the same gallery as other worldly figures to the likes of Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Lena Horne and Barack and Michelle Obama. 

The ceremony that honored Winfrey’s portrait was in the main atrium. It compared in size to the Obamas. Their portraits are considered main attractions at the gallery.

Artist, Warren said that Winfrey “one of the most influential and polarizing figures of our time, a pioneer in the arts, entertainment, a generous giver and a woman who has been in our homes and lives for years and can relate to many of us when it comes to everyday challenges of life.”

Oprah Reveals Producers for ‘The Color Purple’ Remake Wanted Beyoncé or Rihanna in the Film

by
Oprah Exhibit to Open at National African American Museum

The Color Purple, dubbed a “bold new take,” is getting ready to make its Christmas Day career. In a new cover story in The Hollywood Reporter, Oprah revealed producers pushed for Beyoncé or Rihanna to be part of the cast.

“If you were doing this film for $30 or $40 million, the interest in the cast would be very different,” Oprah said. “Once the film moved to $90 to $100 million, then everybody wants us to bring Beyoncé. ‘Can you get Beyoncé or can you get Rihanna?’ So we’re sitting in a room saying, ‘Listen, we love Beyoncé. We love Rihanna, but there are other actors who can do this job.’”

Oprah also revealed it would be nearly impossible for Beyoncé to be a part, citing “she is going to be busy this year.”

Warner Bros. Pictures announced a “bold new take on the beloved classic” The Color Purple. The forthcoming film is directed by Blitz Bazawule and produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Scott Sanders, and Quincy Jones.

The film will star Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, Colman Domingo, Corey Hawkins, H.E.R., Danielle Brooks, Halle Bailey, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Fantasia Barrino in her major motion picture debut.

The screenplay is by Marcus Gardley, based on the novel by Alice Walker, and based on the musical stage play by Marsha Norma. The executive producers Alice Walker, Rebecca Walker, Kristie Macosko Krieger, Carla Gardini, Mara Jacobs, Adam Fell, Courtenay Valenti, Sheila Walcott and Michael Beugg.

Warner Bros. Pictures will distribute the film worldwide and open in North America on Christmas Day.

John Singleton’s Estate Battle: Mother Wins In Court Against Ex-Girlfriend and Daughter

by
JohnSingleton'sOutdatedWillLeaves$MillionEstatetohisFirstBorn

In a recent court battle over the late director John Singleton’s estate, his mother, Sheila Ward, emerged victorious against the claims made by Singleton’s ex-girlfriend, Vestria Barlow, and daughter, Cleopatra. Radar Online reports that a hearing was held in Los Angeles Superior Court where the family members clashed over the distribution of Singleton’s fortune.

After John Singleton’s passing in 2019, Sheila Ward was appointed to administer her late son’s estate. The beneficiaries of the estate are Singleton’s seven children—Justice, Selenesol, Hadar, Massai, Cleopatra, Isis, and Seven.

In July, Ward submitted her final report to the court, revealing that the estate was valued at an estimated $6.8 million. She asserted that the money would be divided among Singleton’s children.

However, a couple of weeks later, Cleopatra and her mother, Vestria Barlow, opposed the final report. Barlow filed a $15 million federal lawsuit against Ward and various studios, claiming she was owed a percentage of residuals from several of Singleton’s projects. Despite this, the federal judge dismissed the lawsuit for being brought in the wrong venue.

In the recent hearing, the court presiding over the probate case sided with Ward, granting approval of her final report. This means that Ward has permission to distribute the estate to the beneficiaries, with each child expected to receive around $1 million. The children will continue to receive money over time as the estate collects residuals from Singleton’s work.

The judge deemed the objections to the report as “untimely filed,” solidifying Ward’s position as the administrator of the estate. In her petition, Ward detailed Singleton’s assets, including comic books, movie memorabilia, a Los Angeles home, various vehicles, and ownership stakes in companies like Crunk Pictures and New Deal Productions.

The estate also held valuable items such as expensive comic book art, a 70% interest in Crunk Pictures and New Deal Productions estimated at $3.2 million, a $1.1 million retirement account, $31,000 in the bank, and personal property like a painting of Tupac worth $75,000 and the $50,000 lowrider used by Tyrese in Singleton’s film “Baby Boy.” The resolution of this court battle sheds light on the complex financial legacy left behind by the acclaimed director.
