Keke Palmer’s ex Darius Jackson has hit back at her abuse allegations in her domestic violence case, claiming he was the one who abused her.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Jackson stated that Palmer “punched” and “choked” her several times, and said he was the violent one in the relationship.
Keke Palmer’s Ex Darius Jackson Claims He Was ‘The Main Attacker’
In the filing, Jackson asked the court to deny Palmer’s request for a restraining order against her as well as her request to have sole custody of their young child, Leodis Andrellton Jackson.

Keke Palmer “has repeatedly engaged in abusive conduct and should be restrained from further acts of abuse,” the filing said. He argued that the court could not grant an “equal” restraining order unless it determined “both parties acted as the primary aggressor” and not in self-defense.
Citing an example of when the Nickelodeon alum allegedly abused her, Jackson claimed “On August 20, 2021, Lauren punched Darius in the face at a birthday party.”
Just two months after the incident, she claims that Palmer “grabbed” her arm to prevent her from leaving her home. The celebrity fitness instructor claims Palmer’s abuse also harassed her 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 said. Palmer also allegedly choked and called her father names such as “b–ch, punk a–, and loser.”
In the filing, Jackson claims the “Hustlers” actor was “verbally and physically abusive” especially after consuming alcohol that left him “agitated and aggressive.” She claims that during the August 2021 incident when Palmer allegedly punched her she had been drinking.
“The petitioner punched me in the face at the birthday party. Her friend, Lenoria Addison, shows up and tries to stop (Keke). Then, (he) apologized.”

Jackson backed up his claims with a screenshot of a text message from Palmer in which he apologized for hitting her.
“I’m sorry for hitting you. I’m sorry for being afraid of losing you and that turned into me acting out of fear and desperation,” he wrote. “That wasn’t the best me you got and I’m sorry for that. I was angry with the situation, I was angry with myself…”
The 29-year-old continued, claiming that during a January 2022 argument, he “punched the windshield of my car while I was driving.” He attached a receipt for the $600 payment marked “for the windshield.”
Darius Jackson: Keke Palmer “Punch And Hit Me”
More allegations claim that the “Akeelah and the Bee” star got all physical on Jackson on January 15, 2022, while they were in Cancun for his birthday when they got into a fight.
“He kept scolding me when we got back to the hotel. I tried to leave to give him space to calm down, but he grabbed my arm to stop me from leaving. [Keke] then started punching and hitting me, causing me to drop my phone. He grabbed the phone and kept it from me,” he wrote.
Jackson continued, “I ended up locking myself in the bathroom to avoid any further verbal and physical attacks. His attack that night left several bruises and marks on my body.” He also added that the stills from the footage Palmer submitted did not include the moment he “attacked her by choking and hitting.”
The internet personality also claimed that Palmer became abusive to their eight-month-old son in September 2023 when they argued.

“On September 26, 2023, [Keke] and I have argued about our relationship. Leodis cried when I changed his diaper,” the court document claims. ‘He was distracted and wanted to pick her up. I asked him to wait until I finished, but he ignored me. He aggressively pulled Leodis while changing diapers. At that point, I packed my bags to go to another hotel.”
Jackson’s allegations bear eerie similarities to Palmer’s allegations in his Nov. 9 filing in which he claimed “Darius broke into my home without my knowledge or consent, threatened me, then physically assaulted me – pounced on my neck, hit me, threw me on the sofa. , and stole my phone when I told him I was going to call the police.”
This case is ongoing, now in the hands of a judge.
