Keke Palmer's Ex Darius Jackson Says He Is 'Blessed To Have Repent' Amid DV Allegations

Keke Palmer's split from her boyfriend, Darius Jackson was followed by her explosive restraining order alleging physical and emotional abuse.

The story has now taken a surprising turn — Jackson, who has consistently denied the allegations, is now publicly embracing religion, repentance, and proclaiming newfound blessings.

Amid a storm of personal upheaval, Jackson opened up about his path to redemption, emphasizing fitness and religion as anchors during these tumultuous times. Taking to Instagram, he shared a video featuring snippets of his gym workout, documenting his commitment to physical wellness and a caption shedding light on his evolving mindset. 

The 29-year-old expressed limitations in sharing details but conveyed a focus on God, noting, "There's A LOT I can say but not allowed to say. And at this point, don't even want to say. I will say, however, that God is & will always be your greatest ally. I have put my trust, patience, timing & entire life onto him so that I can continue to get through the days." 

Despite the legal constraints, he attributed his strength and ability to move forward to his faith in Jesus Christ, stating, "Lord Jesus has been with me throughout."

The fitness enthusiast also expressed his gratitude and acknowledged the support he received from friends, family, and well-wishers. In a powerful declaration, Jackson revealed:

"Extremely blessed to have repent & be baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus. But the work doesn't stop, there's so much I have to do in order to be fulfilled. Saving myself was the 1st step."

His post concluded with the mention of the bible verse "ACTS 2:38," underlining the theme of repentance and baptism for the remission of sins. Amid echoes of "Amen" from his followers in the comments, some took it upon themselves to add affirmation and support.

One fan encouraged him by writing, "That's right Good brotha. Hold your head high and keep pushing forward. Peace and blessings.” 

A second described him as "a great guy! Kind, sweet and real," while a third added, "Amen. You're amazing and will continue to shine." At the same time, another fan enthusiastically stated, "You got this!!" 

This reflective post comes after Palmer filed a domestic violence restraining order against Jackson last month. Legal documents obtained by The Blast revealed disturbing allegations of trespassing, physical attacks, and a history of violence in their tumultuous relationship.

According to the legal filings, the actress accused Jackson of "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."

In light of the distressing events, Palmer sought legal protection by asking the court to order her former partner to stay 100 yards away from her and their 8-month-old son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson. 

Documents obtained by The Blast revealed that Palmer and Jackson were set to undergo a mediation session as ordered by the court. According to the documents filed under the mother-of-one's legal name, Lauren Palmer, both parties were originally set to appear in court on December 5, 2023, at 8:30 am. 

However, Palmer's legal team requested a postponement by filing a Stipulation and Order to continue The Court's Order To Participate in Mediation, initially set for November 29, and the request for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) scheduled for December 5. 

The reason cited was to provide the parties with time to attend mediation and mutually agree on a new date for both proceedings. The filing also included a copy of Palmer's temporary restraining order, attached to demonstrate proper service to the interested parties involved.

This mediation intervention by a neutral third party was to facilitate negotiations for a mutually acceptable resolution in their ongoing conflict. Having fulfilled the court's request to file the necessary documents, the presiding judge, Michelle Kazadi, signed the documents on November 30.
