In Keke’s restraining order filing, she alleged that Darius was physically abusive towards her on several occasions, and even included image stills from video footage of such alleged abuse. Keke was quickly granted sole custody and a temporary restraining order. As part of the order, Darius was ordered to turn over his handgun to the police and keep 100 yards away from Keke and their son.
A hearing has been scheduled a hearing for December 5, 2023, to determine whether the orders will become permanent.

After news broke, Darius took to his official account on X, formerly Twitter, and shared a photo of him and his son, captioning it, “I love you son, see you soon.” Shortly after that, Darius’ brother and ‘Insecure’ actor Sarunas Jackson, 33, spoke out.
Then his older brother Sarunas followed with a post and delete, which was reposted by Darius before deletion. It read, “The most disgusting, vile, abusive, manipulative person I have EVER encountered in my entire life… Abuses almost everyone. Y’all will see.. Just send positive energy to the babies… Any child in the middle of something like this does not deserve it AT ALL. Wow. So damn sad.”
Keke’s mother Sharon Palmer then spoke out and claimed that she told Sarunas about his brother being allegedly abusive towards her daughter and that he allegedly acknowledged it by saying he used to be the same way too.
Firing back, Sarunas left a comment with The Shade Room denying Sharon’s claims, stating, “Quote me: I NEVER ONCE SAID THAT to Sharon. NOT ONCE IN MY LIFE. I have NEVER been abusive to any of the women I ever been involved with. I’m not going to keep on with this circus. But Sharon, the world is about to hear YOUR VOICE very soon. And the threats you made to my family. Be well everyone… I know it’s easy to get caught up in this, but make no mistake that all of this is VERY sad.”

Meanwhile, Sarunas’ daughter’s mother DomiNque Perry, 35, shared a post and delete of her own that showed a still image from Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller,” where he was eating popcorn and laughing. She added a smirk emoji to it.
Despite deleting the post, it went viral, and she responded, claiming, “There was a repost of a post I made yesterday (There’s situations where you laugh to keep from crying). Let me give clarity. I would never laugh at ANYONE that is subject[ed] to domestic abuse, female or male. As it’s known abuse comes in different definitions, silent and physical. Only the people enduring such behavior truly understand the effect[s].”
She added, “Women have been manipulated, abused, lied on for centuries, and put their heads down for the fear of not being believed. We need to stop being afraid. I may not be at the highest platform in my career just yet to be heard and/or supported by the public, but whenever that time comes, everyone will listen. God is in control of my steps and I’ll respond accordingly. I will be vindicated in his timing. Pray for the abusers, the protected babies will always be fine.”
According to RadarOnline, Darius’ older brother Sarunas Jackson filed a “Petition to Determine Parental Relationship” against his ex-girlfriend DomiNque Perry. The two share a 5-year-old daughter named Zen Jackson.
The site claims that Sarunas filed a petition in September and said that his daughter, who lives in California, asked that the court award him joint legal and physical custody of his child.

It’s reported that last month, DomiNque requested that Sarunas’ petition be denied, citing that since Zen’s birth “despite the emotional volatility and intimidation that [Sarunas] has directed towards me,” she has been committed to “fostering a positive co-parenting relationship with [Sarunas] because I know that is in Zen’s best interest.”
DomiNque Perry also reportedly said, “[Sarunas] has never been denied the opportunity to be involved in our daughter’s life in any capacity he desired.” And she noted that she has always kept her home in Texas, but visits California whenever she books a role.per
She reportedly wrote, “While pregnant, I returned to Texas to deliver Zen. Zen was born in Houston, Texas. I maintain a home in the State of Texas and Texas is where I spend the great majority of my time. And because I have always been Zen’s primary caregiver, Zen travels with me and has exclusively lived with me making her permanent home in Texas as well.”

Reportedly, DomiNque Perry explained that she could no longer afford to keep both homes in Texas and California; and as a result, she began looking for schools in Texas for her daughter, to which DomiNque claimed Sarunas Jackson never objected. The mother and daughter were supposed to leave California for Texas in September, but instead of Sarunas raising any concerns before then, he filed a court case without DomiNque’s knowledge. preventing her from leaving California.
Subsequently, DomiNque requested the case be dismissed in California and moved to Texas, telling the court, “[Sarunas’] visitation routines are dependent upon when he expresses a desire to see her. Generally, [Sarunas] requests to see Zen are sporadic. Because Sarunas] has attained a certain level of success in his career, he generally works and has to travel even more than I do. I am concerned with whom Zen may be left within the face of his extended absences.” The judge has yet to rule.
