Keke Palmer Claims Life Is 'Unraveling At The Seams' Amid Custody Battle With Darius Jackson

Keke Palmer continues to give insight into her struggles amid her domestic violence case and custody battle with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson.

The actress, who confessed to being ill-informed about unhealthy partnerships due to her realities, recently agreed to a court-ordered mediation with Jackson, resulting in the postponement of the domestic violence trial.

The mom of one recently cleared the narratives that she had a perfect life, and her troubles were a PR move with a candid clip detailing her current mindset.

Palmer held her mini-me, Leo, as she rocked a red robe and a sleek center-part hairdo while standing barefooted in the kitchen as the camera zoomed in on her face. Despite her fully made-up face, Palmer’s vulnerability was glaring as Nicki Minaj’s “Seeing Green” played in the background.

“When reality tv makes everyone believe all celebrities' lives are just one big marketing strategy and scheme but my life is truly unraveling at the seams and I just wear trauma like a dolce gabana coat because Sharon didn’t raise no b----,” the Nickelodeon wrote across the video.

She accompanied the emotional post with the caption “Alexa, Play Mary J: MY LIFE,” adding laughing emojis. Palmer’s upload received so much love as her fans and friends rushed to the comment section to uplift her and extend their warm wishes.

This user wrote: “Keke, please incorporate morning positive meditation and an attitude of gratitude for every little thing that goes right each day. For example, you are beautiful and your child is healthy and you have great finances, etc.”

Singer Teyana Taylor, who is going through her own marriage troubles, added: “MY GURL and add a good good purse to make the garments pop cause you in ya bagggggggggg sis!!!”

SZA was also in the comments, writing, “Exactly she’s an icon and we praying and riding for you regardless!!” Another fan penned “We are right here with you! We feel you and we’re proud of you. Lives crumble, and better lives are built in its place!”

Palmer's cryptic post comes weeks after poured her heart out on her podcast “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” alongside her mom Sharon Palmer, and therapist Dr. Drew Pinsky. The episode titled “How to Deal With Abusive Relationship, Boundaries, and Narcissism” had Palmer revealing that she thought everyone’s relationship would look like her parent’s healthy marriage.

Opening up about how her naivety set her up for unhealthy relationships, Palmer said: “I think I’ve been really naive because my dad is great and my uncles are great. So misogyny came at me hard and quick, with the quickness. I grew up in a house where my mom would say, ‘This is what it needs to be.’ And Larry [her dad] would be like, ‘Okay, Sharon. Go on ahead, Sharon."

The mother-of-one continued, “So, for me, when I entered outside of my household and I saw that everybody doesn’t really respect their wives or even women in the way that my dad respects my mom, it was a pretty rude awakening.“

She also admitted to having problems establishing boundaries, adding that she has chosen happiness over her traumatic experiences in the abusive relationship.

Earlier this month, Palmer and her baby daddy reached an agreement in regard to their legal battles. The domestic violence case, which was set to begin trial on December 5, was postponed after Palmer and her ex-boyfriend agreed to try out mediation.

The Blast confirmed that the judge ordered both parties to “Participate in Mediation” in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

The “True Jackson” actor’s legal team stated in their postponement request letter that their client and the respondent are both “concurrently filing a Stipulation and Order to continue The Court’s Order to Participate in Mediation currently set for November 29, 2023, and Petitioner’s Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order, which is currently set for December 5, 2023, to allow the parties time to attend mediation. The parties request that the Mediation and Petitioner’s DVRO be continued on a mutually agreeable date.”

Palmer’s legal team also attached her temporary restraining order granted by the court to the postponement request and added that both parties should stick to all the orders in the document.

The restraining order mandated a 100-yard distance between Palmer, and Jackson, as well as Leo, after Palmer submitted home surveillance pictures of Jackson physically abusing her.
