Jackson’s social media upload comes hours after Palmer, 30, filed for a restraining order against her ex, accusing him of abusing her multiple times throughout their two-year relationship, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly.

“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,” she claims in the documents.

Courtesy of Keke Palmer/Instagram Keke Palmer found love with Darius Jackson nearly two years before they welcomed their first child — but their romance fizzled out in 2023. “You’ve been a blessing from above,” Jackson gushed of the Nope star via his Instagram in August 2021. “Never would have expected summer 2021 to turn out the way it […]

Palmer also alleges there have been “many instances of physical violence” throughout their relationship, “including striking and grabbing me around the neck,” “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 [sic] 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.”

Palmer claimed that she has security footage from a November 5 incident in which Jackson “trespassed” in her home without her “knowledge or consent” and “threatened” her before “lunging for my neck, striking me, throwing me over the couch and stealing my phone.” In a separate February 2022 incident, she claims he “body slammed” her “onto the stairs by my neck.”

According to the documents, the pair “ended for good” in October and do not currently live together. Palmer is requesting a non-contact order and stay away order and that Jackson be “specifically restrained from harassing me by publicly commenting about me, my family, and or our son online” and is filing for sole custody of Leo.

Throughout her career, Keke Palmer has proven that the sky’s the limit — and she’s only getting started. Palmer began singing in the church choir at age 5 and after moving to Los Angeles she quickly found success with acting. She rose to fame after starring on her own Nickelodeon series, True Jackson, VP, from […]

Palmer’s filing comes months after Jackson made headlines for his controversial comments about the outfit Palmer wore while attending Usher’s Las Vegas concert in July. “It’s the outfit tho … you a mom,” Jackson wrote via X of the actress’ black bodysuit, which featured a sheer polka-dot coverup.

Despite receiving backlash for the remark, Jackson only doubled down on his words in a follow-up tweet, writing, “We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.”

Palmer, meanwhile, hasn’t directly addressed the incident but did star in the music video for Usher’s single “Boyfriend” — where she seemingly addressed Jackson’s tweets with a wink to the camera — and started a new merch line that also appears to reference the comments.

NFL’s Tony Gonzalez Praises Taylor Swift for Bringing New Fans to Football on December 1, 2023 at 3:48 am Us Weekly

NFL Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez praised Taylor Swift for shining a light on America’s favorite pastime through her romance with Travis Kelce.

“I think it’s great that Taylor’s done this for the NFL,” Gonzalez, 47, said during a Thursday, November 30, appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “She’s brought a whole new audience, it’s been great.”

Gonzalez recalled recently being in the airport when a 10-year-old girl approached him to say hello. “Usually men come up to me, occasionally a woman, but I was like, ‘Oh, a 10-year-old girl? How cool I’m getting so popular,’” he quipped about the exchange. “She goes, ‘Hi, Is your name Tony? Do you know Travis Kelce?’”

Gonzalez played in the NFL for 17 seasons before his retirement in 2013. The athlete spent his first 12 seasons as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, the same team as Swift’s boyfriend Kelce, 34, before later joining the Atlanta Falcons. He finished his career with 14 Pro Bowl selections, six first-team All-Pros and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019.

Taylor Swift is sparking the interest of the NFL’s biggest stars — and we’re not just talking about Travis Kelce. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, for one, attended multiple dates of Swift’s Eras Tour when the show came through East Rutherford, NJ in May 2023. “I’m very proud of my dancing skills finally being […]

Earlier this week, Kelce made headlines when he reached 11,000 receiving yards in the fewest number of games as a tight end, breaking a record previously held by Gonzalez. At the time, Gonzalez took to social media to congratulate his former teammate, writing via X (formerly Twitter), “Congrats and well earned my friend! Keep it going @tkelce.”

Gonzalez wasn’t the only one to celebrate Kelce’s big moment. Swift, 33, also showed her support by “liking” an Instagram post shared by the Kansas City Chiefs about the milestone. “Fastest tight end to 11k receiving yards AND the only player in franchise history to do it ,” the post read.

Kelce and Swift were first linked in September, when the Grammy winner accepted Kelce’s offer to see him “rock the field” at Arrowhead Stadium in his game against the Chicago Bears. She has since appeared at four Chiefs games throughout the 2023-2024 season. Kelce has also been spotted cheering Swift on as she travels the globe for the international leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour.

The pair’s relationship have since taken the world by storm, with everyone from fellow celebrities to the NFL itself gushing over their blossoming romance. Even Swift’s closest pals are excited about about the duo finding each other.

“Friends close to Taylor and Travis think they make an amazing power couple, and they couldn’t be happier for them,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly in October. Later that month, a second insider added that Swift’s inner circle thinks she and Kelce are “in love.”

As for Swift and Kelce, the couple have “very detailed plans” on staying close while “she’s on tour and he has games,” a third insider told Us earlier this month. “They don’t want to start their relationship off with big gaps [in time spent apart]. They’re trying to be as much like a regular couple as possible.”

It seems as if (almost) all of Hollywood and the NFL are in need of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce friendship bracelets. Ever since Kelce tried to meet Swift at one of her Eras Tour performances in July 2023 — he wanted to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it, but she had […]

That likely includes getting their families together around the holidays. While Taylor has met both of Kelce’s parents — and the NFL star has spent time with the singer’s father — the pair are still hoping to spend some time with each other’s loved ones.

“Taylor and Travis have spent time with each other’s families so it only makes sense that they’d want their parents to meet one another,” a fourth insider told Us. “Both of them have a very close relationship with their parents, and it’s really important that their families blend seamlessly.”

Gerry Turner got engaged to Theresa Nist during the season 1 finale of The Golden Bachelor on Thursday, November 30.

“When I woke up this morning, it was difficult. I had really mixed feelings, and I got to the point with the questions I had asked myself about, how did I get here? And is she the right girl? I came to the realization that you’re not the right person for me to live with,” Gerry told Theresa, faking her out before getting down on one knee. “You’re the person that I can’t live without. Theresa, I love you 1,000 percent. I’m never going to stop believing that every day I choose you. Will you marry me?”

Gerry, 72, proposed to Theresa, 70, after breaking things off with runner-up Leslie Fhima in an emotional moment.

Ahead of the romantic proposal, Theresa told Gerry she’s “madly” in love with him. “I feel that for us that life isn’t over, that the best is yet to come. I think you are the most wonderful man in the world. Now that I’ve found you, I don’t ever want to let you go. I want to spend the rest of my life with you,” she added.

Prior to the finale, Gerry told both Theresa and Leslie, 64, that he loved them. After Theresa’s hometown date, Gerry confessed his feelings for her to the cameras. “When I entered this journey, I wanted to find love. And for the first time since 1968, I know that I have fallen in love again,” he said, though he waited until the pair’s fantasy suite date to share the revelation with Theresa. “This is the love I’m looking for.”

Gerry exclusively told Us Weekly in September that following the conclusion of filming, he no longer believed that he was fully “in love” with multiple women.

“In retrospect, I realized that in that particular moment, whenever it was — the setting was such that, ‘Yeah, it was easy to look at someone and tell ‘em you loved ‘em,’” he explained at the time. “But once you get through it all and you look back, then you realize that there is just really one person that really meets the standard in all situations that you want it to be.”

The following month, Gerry divulged that he was initially hesitant about getting engaged on the show, but he changed his mind.

“As I was dating [before the show], I was looking for the person that I would spend the rest of my life with regardless of the label,” he told Us in October. “And as I got closer and closer to the process started in the show, I really kind of came to realize that I did indeed want to be married, that I wanted that commitment, that two-way street. And so as I got into the show, that was my objective.”

As for how he thought his late wife, Toni, would feel about how his journey ended, he speculated that she would be “excited” about the “good conclusion,” adding, “I was happy with how it turned out.”

Before popping the question to Theresa, Gerry went through a difficult breakup with Leslie. “He fell in love with multiple women all at the same time in different ways,” host Jesse Palmer teased to Us earlier this month. “Throughout the course of the season, [the goodbyes are] easily the most difficult part. And I think it usually is for most leads, but I think people are really going to see an emotional goodbye come the finale that they just haven’t seen yet. It’s pretty intense.”
