What was on Keke Palmer’s security video footage?
What was found on Keke Palmer’s security footage? Keke Palmer filed the restraining order on Thursday, November 9, 2023, where she recounts several instances of Darius Jackson abusing her.
The declaration stated, “Darius trespassed into my home without my knowledge or consent, threatened me, then physically attacked me — lunging for my neck, striking me, throwing me over the couch, and stealing my phone when I told him I was going to call the police.”
The declaration includes screenshots of what appears to be security footage of a man striking a woman over a sofa. One instance also included “home security footage [from] February 13, 2022 when Darius body slammed me onto the stairs by my neck.”
Keke alleged that there were “many instances of physical violence, including striking and grabbing me around the neck, descriptions of Darius destroying my personal property, including diaries and prescription eyeglasses, throwing my belongings into the street, throwing my car keys to prevent me from driving away, hitting my in front of our son, spewing profanities about me to our son, threatening to kill himself with a gun if I left him, harassment, and other physical and emotional abuse.”
On November 5, 2023, Darius went her home to take Leodis to a football game, but the 8-month-old was not home since he was at Keke’s family’s house. Darius allegedly “knocked me backwards over the couch, stole my phone out of my hands, and then ran out of the house.” Keke affirmed that the incident was “captured by my home security camera, which will be played for the Court at the time of the hearing.” When she tried to retrieve her phone, she recounted that “he nearly hit me with his car.”
In April 2022, Keke recalled that Darius accused her of flirting with a woman and retaliated. “Darius grabbed my prescription eyeglasses away from me, threw them on the ground and stomped on them. He then opened my bag, threw all of my belongings onto the pavement in the rain, and threw my car keys across the parking lot before he got into his own car and drove off,” the document reads.
“The abuse during our relationship was not just physical, but emotional and manipulative,” the filing for the restraining order reads. “Darius would ‘love bomb’ me and make me feel like I was the most important woman in the world, only to get extremely distant and cold over a perceived insult to him. If we were at a party or event, and I spoke with one person too long or looked at someone a “certain way”, he would storm off in a rage – telling me I was ‘slut’ and a ‘whore,’ accuse me of cheating on him, and that I did not love him. Darius had a way of gaslighting me to make me feel like I was doing something wrong even though I wasn’t.”
