AceShowbiz - Keke Palmer is apparently showered with love amid her latest drama with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson. The actress has been presented with a luxurious flower bouquet after accusing her baby daddy of domestic abuse.
On Saturday afternoon, November 11, the mother of one showed up on what looks like a set of her upcoming project in West Hollywood. While at work, she received an intricate bouquet of flowers from an unknown sender.
According to TMZ, the arrangement, courtesy of a local business called La Fleu Eclose, is one of their pricier items for sale. Called "My Queen", the bouquet comes with between 50-100 roses and a nice little crown ornament on top.
The flowers came with a car attached that Keke was seen reading. The 30-year-old looked emotional as she read the card.
On the set, Keke was joined by her son Leo. In other pictures, the "Scream Queens" alum was seen holding the 8-month-old infant and was smiling from ear to ear while taking a selfie with her baby boy.
The "Nope" actress had her hair done and styled in big curls while rocking a red dress. She later handed over Leo to a woman nearby, presumably a nanny, while she went back to work.
Keke filed a petition asking for restraining order against Darius on Thursday, November 9. In court documents, she accused the fitness instructor of abusing her multiple times over the course of their two-year relationship.
One incident took place on November 5, during which the 29-year-old "trespassed into my home without my knowledge or consent" and "threatened" her before "lunging for my neck, striking me, throwing me over the couch and stealing my phone."
Keke also detailed another incident that went down in February 2022. Keke said Darius "choked me and body slammed me onto the stairs in my home after becoming violently jealous and irrationally angry over a bikini picture."
Keke claimed she has security footage that supported her claims. Photos from her security footage have since leaked online. Keke declared in the docs that her relationship with Darius "finally ended for good" in early October "primarily due to the physical and emotional abuse inflicted" on her by him.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge later granted Keke's motion for a temporary restraining order. The judge also granted the actress sole custody of their child until further notice.
A source told PEOPLE that Keke had given Darius "a lot of chances" before asking for restraining order. "She gave him a lot of chances to do the right thing," the source said. "Keke tried so hard to have an amicable split and arrangement [custody]."
But at the end, the "Hustlers" star "did what she had to do" to protect herself and her son. "She needed to prioritize her safety and the safety of her baby," the source explained. "She wants the best for Leo. She did not want it to get to this point. But she did what she had to do."
