New Allegations Reveal Keke Palmer’s Mom Accused Darius Jackson of Choking His Sister, Threatened to ‘Put Bullet In’ Jackson’s Head

The father of Keke Palmer’s infant child reportedly has violated a restraining order the actress filed against him, as she publicly accuses him of domestic violence. 

On Sunday, Nov. 12, an X account holder shared a message accusing Darius Jackson of breaking a Los Angeles judge’s order to remain at least 100 years away from both Palmer and their 8-month-old son, Leodis “Leo” Jackson. This order also included any childcare or schooling establishment for the newborn.

“@BLACKTATTEDNERD Keke Palmer BD Darius just violated his Restraining order today that @KekePalmer put out on him !!!!”

The accusation was met with skepticism from another account who asked, “You work for TMZ?”

It is unclear when and where Jackson broke the order, however, Palmer reportedly received a bouquet of flowers days after her request for the restraining order was granted. 

Over the weekend, TMZ captured photos of the “Joyful Noise” actress on a West Hollywood set with her son in her arms. One of the paparazzi-taken images featured a man who was carrying a large arrangement of flowers from a local business, La Fleur Eclose. The arrangement titled, “My Queen,” contained 50 to 100 roses along with a crown resting on top. 

There has been no word on who sent the gift. 

Photos of Palmer retrieving the flowers were her first public spotting since she dropped the gut-wrenching claims that Jackson had been abusing her throughout their two-year relationship. 

According to court documents filed on Thursday, Nov. 9, Palmer had security footage that showed Jackson trespassing “into my home without my knowledge or consent.” 

There were also still images from Palmer’s in-home security footage, which reportedly proved that the 30-year-old fitness instructor had put his hands on the child star in an aggressive manner. 

Despite the reported evidence, Jackson has maintained his innocence, denying ever abusing Palmer. He’s even gone to lengths of accusing Palmer’s mother, Sharon Palmer, of threatening to put a bullet in his head. 

“And you better watch out before I put a bullet in your mother——g head,” as heard in an audio clip from TMZ.

Sources close to both parties informed TMZ that Sharon indeed made the threat after fearing for her daughter’s safety. Text messages between Sharon and Jackson’s mother, Yhinyer, were obtained by the outlet. 

The reported messages showed Yhinyer informing Sharon that she planned to alert authorities about the threat. “Because you don’t respect or value yourself, and I can see no my son’s life … You might have to kill all of us … I will file a police report on you now,” the text read. 

In response, Sharon asked Yhinyer to refrain from contacting her over Jackson’s “childish behavior” and even suggested that he “choked his own sister.” She also stated that Yhinyer “should be very ashamed to have raised a man who fights women.” 

Sharon has also called out Jackson’s brother and “Insecure” actor Sarunas J. Jackson for reportedly teaching his younger brother “how to be abusive.” During her extensive rant, Sharon claimed, “I went to Sarunas over a year ago and told him that his brother was abusive to my daughter. And he said, ‘Uh, well, I used to be like that too.’ What!”

Sarunas has denied Sharon’s accusations, stating that he’s never abused “any of the women I’ve ever been involved with.” 

Despite his response, Sarunas’ ex-girlfriend and “Insecure” co-star Dominique Perry has voiced standing in solidarity with Palmer and with anyone who is a victim of domestic abuse.

Palmer remains quiet as her recent allegations continue to pour into the limelight.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
