While it seemed nothing could go wrong between Keke Palmer and her former husband Darius Jackson, last year, the two parted ways after the latter took to his social to call out Palmer over her attire at Usher’s concert. Not long after the duo welcomed their son, Leo, Jackson’s comment contributed to their marriage falling off, as theNopestar opted to take things to court.
Although the two remain on good terms now, the actress finally broke her silence on the tumultuous chapter of her life, and why she took the court route in the first place.
Keke Palmer Wanted To Bring Order to Her Life
What seemed like a happy-go-lucky bond from the outset, after Jackson’ssocial media postagainst her then-wife, things aggravated, asKeke Palmerturned to court as the situationgot“out of control”. TheNopestar, who was successful in obtaining a domestic violence restraining order against Jackson, clarified that her decision to turn to the court was to bring order.

As for the media scrutiny that their split-up garnered, Palmerstressedshe had no intentions to“make a scene”, adding“I can’t control all the information”.
This is not for the public. This is for me to bring order in within my family the only way… I know how… which is through the court, not through the public. But the Public’s still going to somehow know, and so that was difficult because… I was not looking to make a scene… I was just looking to bring order to something
Although theJoyful Noisestar had no control over the traction that the case garnered, which proved to be difficult for her, things have ameliorated between Palmer and her ex-partner.
Keke Palmer Buried the Hatchet With Darius Jackson
Six months after the initial court filings, Jackson and Palmer amicably settled for a joint custody agreement for their son, Leo. Further elaborating on their history, while the actress wishes she could hold either him or herself entirely responsible, Palmer expressed the situation wasn’t completely black and white, adding she doesn’t want her son to recognize Jackson as a monster.

She shared:
I wish I could say he was terrible the entire time or that I was … but it wasn’t that black-and-white and that was the problem. I didn’t want my son to think his father is a monster, because I don’t.
While their split-up ended up garnering more public traction than Palmer would’ve preferred, it seems the actress has made peace with the past.
