Keke Palmer's Ex Claims She's Harassing Him With Over '200 Calls, 50 Emails'

Keke Palmer's ex-boyfriend and baby daddy, Darius Jackson, is flipping the script on their domestic violence scandal. 

New court documents obtained by The Blast reveal that the fitness instructor has filed for a restraining order against the renowned entertainer in response to allegations of domestic violence.

In the filing, Jackson alleges that Palmer was "the primary aggressor" and "engaged in abusive conduct throughout their two-and-a-half-year relationship." This is why the former Fresno State University student is seeking a modification to the current custody arrangement that has the mother of his son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson, as the sole custodian. On that, he points out:

"I believe it is in our son's best interests for Petitioner and I to share custody." 

He later adds, "I am requesting the court order joint legal and physical custody. (Keke) has refused to allow me to see Leodis since obtaining temporary restraining orders. My offer to have visitation monitored was rejected, and she has unilaterally eliminated any and all access."

As for the "Joyful Noise" actress being the alleged aggressor, Jackson claims she subjected him to both physical and verbal abuse, including allegations of punching, choking, and hitting him on various occasions, as listed with specific dates in the documents.

In a specific instance, he asserts that his ex "made over 200 calls and sent over 50 emails" after he informed her he would not spend the night with her in November 2021. He shared that he changed his phone number in March 2022 to avoid her alleged "harassment and threats."

As The Blast previously reported, Jackson's countersuit cites instances of alleged abuse by the Nickelodeon alum. He recalls, "On August 20, 2021, Lauren punched Darius in the face at a birthday party." 

Just two months later, he asserted that Palmer "violently gripped" his arm to prevent him from leaving her house. The 30-year-old further discloses that Palmer harassed him with phone calls and text messages. 

"On November 17, 2021, after Darius told her he would not spend the night with her, Lauren called him over 200 times and sent him over 50 emails," the filing stated. Palmer also allegedly choked and used derogatory terms towards her child's father, such as a "b–ch, a punk a–, and a "loser."

As for the Hollywood star's alleged physical and verbal abuse, he notes that it often happened after Palmer alcohol, which made her "agitated and aggressive." He claims that during the August 2021 incident when Palmer supposedly punched him, she had been drinking. 

"Petitioner punched me in the face at a birthday party. Her friend, Lenoria Addison, was present and tried to stop (Keke). Later, (she) apologized."

Last month, The Blast observed that Keke's fans expressed concern about her well-being amid the public and apparent breakdown of her romance with Jackson. In response to the 30-year-old's allegations of physical assault by her baby daddy on more than one occasion, a fan shared a 22-second clip from Tyler Perry's "Madea's Family Reunion." 

The scene opens with Lisa [played by Rochelle Aytes] pouring what appeared to be a hot pot of gravy on her cheating man, Carlos [played by Blair Underwood], in the kitchen. It then cuts to Keke's character, Nikki, and Madea briefly halting in their tracks upon hearing screams from inside the house.

As Nikki asked if "everything's alright," Madea reassured her that it was, and they proceeded to walk toward the car parked in front of the house. Above the video, the poster questioned, "HE DID WHAT TO #Keke ?!?!!! #KekePalmer."

"Let's find this man and beat him up for Keke Palmer," a fan wrote via X, as another exclaimed, "If that dude [has] been putting hands on Keke Palmer then lock his a— up!!" At the same time, somebody wondered, "Darius did WHAT to KEKE PALMER?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," alongside a clip of a fight scene.

Another social media user straightforwardly asked, "Are we confronting Keke Palmer's baby daddy or not?" while a fifth stress, "Oh no! If I catch you, Darius, we're having a showdown!! I don't mess around when it comes to my girl Keke Palmer! #KekePalmer."
