Keke Palmer Opens Up About Her Relationship With Ex Darius Jackson; Reveals Why She Had to Get a Restraining Order
Trigger Warning: This article contains mentions of domestic violence.
Keke Palmer has disclosed secrets of her tumultuous relationship with now ex-Darius Jackson in her upcoming book Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative which marks her second memoir after the 2017’s I Don’t Belong to You: Quiet the Noise and Find Your Voice. “Now that lady has a story to tell,” she tells PEOPLE during her cover page interview.
Palmer explained how she’s found herself in mature situations throughout her life whereas in hindsight she’s only a 31-year-old woman. “That’s always been the thing with me: I’m in a mature scenario, having these older experiences in the workplace and with my sense of purpose,” she said adding that she also has her immaturities.
This paradox is one of the themes she explores in her book along with her relationship with former partner Jackson. A few months after welcoming their son Leo, the couple’s seemingly happy relationship imploded when the latter posted on social media criticizing Palmer’s sheer dress which she wore to an Usher concert, “It’s the outfit tho . . . you a mom,” he wrote.
This prompted outrage against Jackson, followed by allegations of domestic violence and a custody battle. “It was the hardest thing I ever had to go through,” she writes in her book. Now that she’s reached a good place as co-parents with her former partner, Palmer is open to retrospect her relationship.
According to her, their courtship started crumbling before she got pregnant. “We had separate lonelinesses, and we created a space for us to exist in that loneliness together,” she said. They planned to have a baby and her entire pregnancy seemed like a fairytale but behind the scenes, “There was a lot going on.”
At one point it got violent. In her request for a temporary restraining order, she shared details of the abusive relationship claiming that Jackson allegedly broke into her home and attempted to strangle her, which was allegedly caught on video. At court, he threw his accusations at Palmer claiming she physically abused him because of a clash over their son’s custody.
However, years later she has embraced forgiveness and peace and is “happy” for Jackson. Palmer also encouraged other victims of domestic violence saying that walking off is the only option. “I feel very at ease now knowing things are under control,” she added.

Throwback: When Tom Holland Revealed He Missed Chris Evans’ Cue During THIS Iconic Avengers Endgame Scene
Tom Holland is a big part of the Avengers family, playing the web-slinger in the MCU. However, the actor once missed the cue of the team leader, Chris Evans.
The Cherry actor recalled a moment while filming a scene with the cast of Avengers: Endgame and explained why he had to later apologize during the final battle sequence of the movie.
While promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, Holland shared this story with Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting on the filming of the 2019 movie.
Holland explained that, because he was at a slight distance from Evans, he couldn’t hear his cue properly, which ultimately caused him to mistime his action. The Spider-Man: Homecoming actor mentioned that as a result, he had to apologize to all the other actors on set.
Referring to the final battle on Earth as his favorite, Tom Holland stated, “Evans was like four or five people down from me.”
He also mentioned that the direction was to charge toward the enemy, which in the 2019 Avengers movie was Thanos, while also screaming when the Fantastic Four actor said “Assemble.”
“But because he was so far away, I couldn’t hear him say ‘assemble’ since he says it to himself. So, he went, ‘Avengers!’ and then I just went ‘Ahh!’ and ran off by myself,” Holland explained.
The Uncharted actor added that he ran almost 30 feet before realizing his mistake. He then turned around, walked back towards his “childhood heroes,” and apologized, saying, “I got that wrong.”
Avengers: Endgame was one legendary movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. Besides Chris Evans and Tom Holland, it had a grand cast that included all five prime Avengers, Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, along with Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow as well as Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye.
Along with these great actors, the movie even had Brie Larson, Elizabeth Olsen, Don Cheadle, Josh Brolin, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Chris Pratt, Tessa Thompson, Hayley Atwell and more.
The film was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo.
