AceShowbiz - Keke Palmer has been spotted in public for the first time since she was granted a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson. The "Nope" star, however, did not appear in good spirits when leaving her home with her son.
On Saturday, November 11, the 30-year-old was caught on camera looking somber while leaving her home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Studio City. Pictures published by Daily Mail showed the actress cradling her baby boy Leodis as she chatted on the phone.
For the outfit, Keke sported a T-shirt touting Super Bowl XXVIII, the 1994 contest in which the Dallas Cowboys bested the Buffalo Bills. She paired it with yellow sweatpants and chunky clogs.
Keke was given a temporary restraining order against Darius just a few days earlier. In her request, the "Scream Queens" alum admitted she was "very concerned" about being able to keep her little boy safe without measures in place.
"I am very concerned for Leo's safety with Darius given his violent, volatile, and jealous nature, comments he has made which have caused me grave concern, and the lack of restraint Darius has already exhibited regarding his temper in front of our son," she stated.
Darius now must stay at least 100 yards away from Keke and their son, as well as any childcare settings the boy attends. He is not allowed to have visitation with the baby, and Keke has been given temporary sole physical and legal custody until a hearing takes place on 5 December to determine any further action on the arrangement.
Meanwhile, in court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Keke claimed Darius got "rough" with their son. "On September 26, 2023, I was concerned for Leo's safety after Darius became very frustrated with him when Leo was crying while Darius changed his diaper. Darius started getting rough with Leo physically and I stepped in to make sure Darius would not hurt him. Darius was angry and it almost became a tug of war with Leo," she wrote in the docs.
When she took over changing Leo, Keke alleged Darius turned his aggression on her instead. She continued, "Darius finally let go and Leo was not harmed, but as I was holding Leo trying to comfort him and finish changing his diaper, Darius hit me in the head before storming out of the room."
