DeSean Jackson Files For Full Custody Of Kids, Claims Ex Is 'Brainwashed' By A 'Cult'

NFL star DeSean Jackson has filed for sole custody of his sons, claiming his ex, Kayla Phillips, has abandoned their children and is now showing "cult" like behavior.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the wide receiver is claiming Phillips has also become a member of a religious group called "The Most High."

The couple lived together for three years in Florida and share two children, DeSean Jackson, 8, and Jace Jackson, 5.

Jackson now wants sole custody of DeSean and Jace, as he claims his wife "abandoned the children."

According to the fling, Jackson says the two parted ways in 2020 which is when the ex-NFL star moved back to California.

In February 2023, Jackson says he went to Florida to bring the children back to California for a visit, "but when it was time for the visit to end, I called the [Phillips] to make arrangements for the children's return and [Phillips] gave me a later date to return the children."

However, when that date came, Phillips allegedly gave Jackson yet another date for her to return to pick up their kids, but that is when Jackson says he lost contact with his ex.

Phillips "stopped calling me about the children's return, so I enrolled the children in school here in Los Angeles and the children have been living with me since," Jackson said, per the docs, before claiming she "has abandoned the children."

According to Jackson, his ex has only seen the children twice in 2023 since living with the ex-NFL star.

But, it doesn't stop there because Jackson is also accusing his ex of "dating a man with cult-like behavior" and she has "become a member of a religious group called 'The Most High'."

He also says Phillips "appears erratic on Facebook video posts and has said, "that the members of The Most High are WOKE and everybody else is not."

She "appears to be brainwashed by the doctrine of 'The Most High'," Jackson says, per the documents, adding that, she is "living a carefree life that does not include the children."

DeSean Jackson is asking for supervised visitation, should Phillips ever show any interest in visiting with their children. Adding, "We don't know what [Phillips] is capable of since she joined 'The Most High' cult which is why we have filed the request For Child Abduction Prevention Orders," the docs state.

Additionally, he is asking for sole physical custody "because I provide the children with a stable, loving, and structured home and environment."

The ex-NFL star is asking the court for sole legal custody because [Phillips] has abandoned the children and joined 'The Most High,', saying, "I believe she's not in her right mind to make sound decisions for the children."

"I am a positive role model for my children," Jackson says, adding, "I want to keep my children safe from harm and the confusion that [Phillips] would otherwise expose to them. The children are enrolled in a great school that they love."

Philips has not responded to the allegations.
