Keke Palmer Calls Off Restraining Order Against Darius Jackson

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, fans were shocked to hear about the newest details in Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s ongoing public drama. Things started off innocuously enough earlier this year. The controversy sparked online after Jackson criticized the outfit Palmer wore to an Usher concert in Las Vegas. In the wake of that online drama, the couple seemed to split up, only to get back together a few months later.

That led to the shocking reports that broke last month. Palmer filed a restraining order against Jackson and also filed for sole custody of their child. A judge quickly granted both temporarily while scheduling full hearings on the matters for later on. But before the retraining order hearing could arrive. Palmer has now called it off. According to The Neighborhood Talk, ahead of the scheduled hearing on December 5th, both parties are agreeing to handle things privately. They stated that they plan to attend mediation together in newly released documents. Check out the full story below.

Alongside the filings Keke Palmer made, she also made some pretty serious abuse allegations against Jackson. For that reason, fans are already expressing concern that handling the matter privately might not be the best decision. And the cycle of abuse continues, it’s a shame , good luck too her cuz u know damn well this ain’t gunna work out,” one of the top comments on an Instagram post reporting the news suggests.

Last week, Palmer served as the host of the Soul Train Awards. She was comfortable enough with her ongoing family drama to participate in a skit poking fun at it. In the skit she receives a mock phone call from her mother about watching her young son while she hosts the show. What do you think of Keke Palmer choosing to handle her restraining order against Darius Jackson privately? Let us know in the comment section below.

Keke Palmer’s Ex’s Brother Sarunas Jackson Faces Abuse Accusations

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sarunas Jackson, the brother of Keke Palmer’s ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, finds himself embroiled in controversy as the mother of his child has initiated legal action against him. She outlines a range of alleged disturbing behaviors, from emotional volatility to physical abuse, and is seeking to determine a parental relationship.

Alleged Disturbing Behaviors Highlighted

Sarunas Jackson, brother of Darius Jackson, who is Keke Palmer’s ex-boyfriend, is under fire as the mother of his child DomiNque Perry has filed a legal suit accusing him of emotional and physical abuse spanning over five years.

In a petition filed on November 28, DomiNque Perry alleges a series of disturbing behaviors exhibited by Jackson, including emotional volatility, intimidation, bullying, undeserved stress, mental and physical abuse, and controlling and narcissistic behavior.

She had previously filed a petition for determining parental relationship on September 21, which was opposed by Jackson in a filing on November 16.

Perry Alleges Jackson Choked Her

Perry recounted a heated conversation in March 2020, where Sarunas allegedly became violently angry and grabbed her by the throat, choking her.

Their 22-month-old daughter Zen, witnessed the incident, where she began crying. She claimed that in the heated conversation in March 2020, Sarunas blamed DomiNque for their daughter being on the Autism Spectrum, where she claimed Jackson “became increasingly angry and physically grabbed my throat, choking me.”

Shockingly, Perry revealed that Sarunas had blood coming from his mouth due to biting his tongue amid his anger.

‘Vile and Abusive’

Following the allegations, fans voiced their opinions on social media. One user @ayojennyy wrote, “Exactly why he should’ve sat out of the Keke conversation. Those skeletons something crazy.”

This comment referred to Sarunas interjecting himself into the situation between his brother Darius Jackson and Keke Palmer, where Sarunas called his brother “vile and abusive.”

This came after Darius faced accusations of physically abusing his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Keke Palmer, where ultimately leaked camera footage of both Jackson and Palmer was shown. Keke’s mother, Sharon Palmer, then called out Sarunas as she called him “phony” and accused him of knowing about the abuse of Keke beforehand.

Sharon also alleged that Sarunas “taught his brother how to be abusive.” Palmer stated:

“I went to Sarunas over a year ago and told him that his brother was abusive to 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*ck boy in Hollywood; he’s disrespectful to women just like his brother.”

No Trespassing

It was stated that Keke faced abuse with Darius for at least one year and that the actress filed for a restraining order and custody of their child, Leo Jackson.

In the court documents, photos contained in the restraining order show a man who appears to be Darius Jackson attempting to throw Keke Palmer over a couch. The documents also included when Jackson allegedly broke into Palmer’s home and attacked her, where she stated:

“Trespassed into my home without my knowledge or consent, threatened me, then physically attacked me – lunging for my neck, striking me, throwing me over the couch and stealing my phone when I told him I was going to call the police.”

Battle of the Mothers

In the aftermath, Keke’s mother threatened to harm Darius, stating she would put a bullet in his head. Darius’s mother, upon hearing about the threat, reached out in a text, expressing:

“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 value in my son’s life. You might have to kill all of us. I will file a police report on you now.”

In response, Keke’s mother replied:

“Please do not contact me with this ridiculous childish behavior. Your son choked his sister; deal with his anger issues. If he attacks my daughter in her own home, 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.”

Gunplay Arrested

In a jarring parallel to the allegations against Sarunas Jackson, rapper Gunplay recently faced legal trouble involving the mother of his child. He was arrested for pulling a gun on her, putting their daughter at risk, and violating a restraining order.

Antonio Brown’s Keke Palmer Name Drop Was Just Lyrical Brainstorming, Ex-NFLer Claims

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Antonio Brown has asked people not to “spin his words” after namedropping Keke Palmer in a series of raunchy tweets. “These all are rap lyrics. Please do not spin my words. Spin your money . Ima Rappa,” Brown wrote a few hours after a collection of tweets went viral. The posts in question referred to running a woman “like the Olympics”, referring to the colloquial group sex of “running a train”. The one that got people in arms concerning Palmer read “I don’t drink Arnold PALMERS I sip Keke Palmer Ya dig”.

However, the former wide receiver did double down on his lust for Palmer. “I love @KekePalmer. This is me creatively thinking of rap bars by the way is she Keke Single$.” Brown has been very active of late, seemingly trying to bait his former QB, Tom Brady. “I just f-ck Tom bihhhhh,” Antonio Brown wrote the day after Thanksgiving. It was part of a bizarre string of tweets in which Brown quoted Kanye and also claimed to have Alzheimer’s. Brady was reportedly instrumental in bringing Brown to the Buccaneers in 2020. However, Brown’s tenure only lasted a season and a half before his explosive exit from the team.

Antonio Brown Compares Himself To Draymond Green

Elsewhere, Brown recently compared himself to Draymond Green. “Draymond Green in Antonio Brown” was the simple post that Brown made on X, formerly Twitter. Brown is likely alluding to the notion that both men are/were “unfairly targeted” or demonized by their respective leagues. Brown, due to his position on the offense, was never given the label of being a dirty player. However, he does believe himself to have been essentially run out of the league for his on- and off-field antics. Meanwhile, Green has long carried the dirty player label with him. Furthermore, that notoriety has been helped by incidents such as punching Jordan Poole and stamping on Domantas Sabonis.

In this latest incident, Green, Klay Thompson, and Jaden McDaniels were all ejected less than two minutes into a recent in-season tournament matchup between the Warriors and Timberwolves. The brawl broke out after Thompson and McDaniels clashed in transition. McDaniels pulled on Thompson’s jersey while the latter contested for a long rebound and the pair remained tangled up amid the ensuing breakaway. The two proceeded to start fighting, leading to a game-stopping brawl. Amid the chaos, Green was seen putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock.

Keke Palmer Jokes About Recent Public Drama With Soul Train Awards Skit

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, Keke Palmer hosted the Soul Train Awards. As with many award shows the biggest story of the night was the prizes given out. SZA, who has had a spectacular 2023, unsurprisingly led the way taking home 4 awards. Usher and Victoria Money were right behind her pulling in 3 and 2 wins respectively. There were also highlight performances from artists like Coco Jones, Janelle Monae, and T-Pain.

But for those who have been following the drama in Palmer’s life recently, it was a skit she participated in that got the most attention. In the skit, she speaks to her mother on the phone about watching her young son while she hosts the show. While fans had mixed reactions in terms of how funny it was, many were just surprised she was willing to joke about the family drama at all. “One thing about Keke….she gon turn any tragedy into a joke and get a bag,” one of the top comments on a repost of the clip reads. Check out the full skit below.

Keke Palmer And Her Mom Team Up For Soul Train Skit

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The drama between Keke Palmer and her former boyfriend Darius Jackson began somewhat innocuously earlier this year. Jackson found himself in trouble with fans online after he commented on the outfit that Palmer wore to an Usher concert. But earlier this month, the situation got much more serious. Only a few weeks ago it emerged that Palmer was filing a restraining order against Jackson and seeking sole custody of their child.

Both were granted to Palmer temporarily shortly after filing. That’s likely because of some of the allegations and evidence that emerged afterward. Palmer accused Jackson of repeated acts of physical abuse. She claimed to have text messages and security camera footage backing up her accusations. What do you think of Keke Palmer addressing her public family drama with a new skit? Did you think the skit was funny? Let us know in the comment section below.

Keke Palmer Delivers A Powerful Performance At The BET Soul Train Music Awards: Watch

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Keke Palmer’s life has been tumultuous, to say the least. Ever since the pop culture world got the news about her and Darius Jackson’s downfall as a couple. Things began to hot and steamy this past summer after the actress and singer attended an Usher show. She was wearing revealing clothing and getting a little too comfortable for Darius’ liking. He spoke his mind on social media, fans were divided on his opinion, as well as Keke’s actions.

However, the shocking revelation came when she dropped some serious allegations against her now ex-boyfriend and father to their child. Abuse and harassment claims were made and, she asked for sole custody of their kid. Disturbing video footage of Keke and Darius then emerged as he attacked her in her own home. At one point, he even trespassed unexpectedly into her house. All of this mental and emotional weight seemed to be gone after her latest performance this past weekend.

Keke Palmer’s Vocals Are On Point

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

The Illinois native was the host of the 36th annual BET Soul Train Awards on Sunday, November 26. In addition, she was also a performer at the show as well. She delivered a truly powerful but somber display on the stage. Keke played a song from her latest record, Big Boss, called “Ungorgeous.” The lyrics are very sad and depict a relationship that is losing its magic. Maybe, it is a reference to her and Darius’ past romance. People were loving the show in the comments section and at the event.

What are your initial thoughts on Keke Palmer’s performance at the BET Soul Train Awards? Do you think this is one of, if not the best live displays this year? Is she a better singer, or a more adept actress? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Soul Train Awards: Keke Palmer Hosting Tonight, Reminds Us She’s The Prize In Golden Goddess Dress

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you’re someone who has a hard time getting out of bed and facing the world when your life feels like it’s in shambles, look no further than Keke Palmer for inspiration on turning that around. November has been a particularly chaotic month for the Chicago native. She filed (and was granted) a restraining order against baby daddy Darius Jackson after providing evidence of him putting his hands on her in their home on more than one occasion. At this time, the 30-year-old has sole custody of baby Leodis but continues to put her best foot forward and fulfill her work obligations while awaiting court in December.

Today (November 26), Palmer is hosting the 2023 Soul Train Awards, with 21 Sav and her good friend (well, maybe not so good after Mama Sharon’s comments about him in a secretly recorded phone call) Usher leading the way in nominations. The past few days were all about promoting the BET ceremony on social media. In particular, a video posted on Saturday in which she looks trophy-like in a golden Balmain mini dress has our attention.

Keke Palmer Continues to Live Her Best Life

“Something about those Virgos… ,” the True Jackson VP actress wrote in her caption. Her shiny black hair has voluminous curls to add extra drama to her look, which also boasts tasteful golden accessories. In the comments, fans have been praising Keke non-stop for staying focused on herself and refusing to let her ex’s apparent jealousy and insecurity issues hold her back from greatness.

While Keke Palmer keeps busy fulfilling her work obligations and spending time with baby Leodis, Darius Jackson seems to be feeling reflective while celebrating the holidays without his son. On Thanksgiving, the infant’s father posted a collection of sweet family photos of Leo with his grandparents and uncle, though he likely won’t see his baby in person until heading to court with Palmer on December 5th. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Darius Jackson’s Instagram Lights Up With Baby Leodis Pics Amid Keke Palmer Restraining Order

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even in times of struggle and emotional turmoil, Thanksgiving reminds us all to take time to express gratitude. Darius Jackson made a point to dedicate his annual Instagram post to his son, Leodis, this year, as they spend the young boy’s first time experiencing the holiday apart. He’s currently in the custody of his mom, Keke Palmer, after she requested a judge grant a restraining order against Darius Jackson for his alleged inappropriate, and at times, dangerous behaviour toward the mother of his son.

Court documents claim that the personal trainer was manipulative and insecure while dating Palmer. He would lash out at her for interacting with other men (as we saw after her appearance at Usher’s Las Vegas residency), and apparently once even engaged in a game of “tug of war” over Leodis with the Chicago native. Despite the harrowing gossip, Jackson is doing his part to express his love for the months-old baby boy from afar with an Instagram post showing wholesome moments spent with his side of the family.

Darius Jackson Expresses Gratitude for His Loved Ones

Because of the court order in effect, we’re under the assumption that the photos above are old. Nevertheless, Leodis is clearly still weighing heavy on his father’s mind this holiday season. “Always thankful for you, my son,” he wrote in the caption, kicking the carousel off with a video of the father-son duo taken on a plane. We also see Keke’s firstborn posing with her ex’s mom, grandparents, brother (who’s currently in a custody battle of his own), and other extended family members.

Darius Jackson’s day in court with Keke Palmer isn’t far out. As the co-parents wait, more tea continues to come out about the former’s family history. Despite vehemently defending her son after photos of him putting his hands on the actress surfaced online, it was revealed that she previously had a domestic violence restraining order against the Jackson family patriarch. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Keke Palmer’s Mom Explains “Usher Is Gay” Take From Darius Jackson Spat

November 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

What was once a simple story of jealousy, gender standards, and relationship dynamics has devolved into something much darker. For those unaware, Keke Palmer filed a restraining order against her former partner, Darius Jackson, and requested sole custody of their recently born child. Moreover, this followed a public spat in which he criticized her for wearing revealing clothing and happily getting serenaded by Usher during his Las Vegas residency. In a leaked alleged phone call, the actress’ mother supposedly went off on Jackson, accusing him of harassment and saying he has mental problems. During this, she apparently brought up the Usher incident with a wild take.

“Usher is gay!” Sharon Palmer allegedly expressed. “You and your stupid-a** family, y’all don’t even understand business. Usher’s gay, guys.” In a comment on The Neighborhood Talk‘s Instagram post covering this, Keke Palmer’s mother explained why she stated this. “The lie I told about Usher was to get Darius to stop abusing my daughter on account of his jealousy,” she clarified. “So I said he didn’t like women for her SAFETY. Everything else I meant with my chest and didn’t expect anyone to hear it because recording me is illegal. I guess he is okay with jail but I knew that when he put his hands on my daughter. He is still abusing her in all of this, trying to paint himself as a victim. Textbook behavior.”

Keke Palmer’s Mom Clarifies Comments About Usher

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Regardless of that Usher situation, if the allegations against Jackson are true, there’s abundant cause for Sharon to defend Keke Palmer. In her filing against her former partner, she claimed a systemic pattern of physical and emotional abuse, which sometimes allegedly occurred in front of their son. With a temporary restraining order and sole custody of their son, the 30-year-old will now have to go to court to determine whether this will be a permanent arrangement. A hearing for said decision will take place in early December, if everything goes as scheduled.

Meanwhile, Darius Jackson denied these claims and levied accusations of his own against her mom. His side of the story claims that Palmer threatened to shoot him and other considerations. Hopefully this is where the abuse stops and, for the sake of their son, things can become safe again. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and updates on Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson.
