KeKe Palmer and Darius Jackson are working out their problems behind closed doors.
According to Radar Online, the former couple asked to postpone the December 5 hearing.
In the scheduled hearing, Palmer was to explain why her temporary restraining order–which orders Darius to stay 100 yards away from Palmer–should be permanent.
Additionally, Palmer received sole custody of Leo, their son.
KeKe Palmer And Darius Now Want To Settle The Matter Amicably
In the new filing, both parties are ready to do meditation together.
“[They] are concurrently filing a Stipulation and Order to continue The Court’s Order to Participate in Mediation currently set for November 29, 2023, and Petitioner’s Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order, which is currently set for December 5, 2023, to allow the parties time to attend mediation. The parties request that the Mediation and Petitioner’s DVRO be continued on a mutually agreeable date,” the filing added.
In her petition, Palmer revealed she broke up with Darius in October.
He visited her on November 7, and they had a heated argument.
“At that point, he lunged at me, grabbing at my neck and face, knocked me backwards over the couch, stole my phone out of my hands, and then ran out of the house.”
KeKe Palmer added that this wasn’t the first time Darius had become physically abusive–he did it again in February 2020 over a bikini photo.
“In the bedroom, he slammed me on the floor and slapped my head from side to side. The next morning, he was standing at the bottom of the stairs near the front door, screaming at me as I was coming down the stairs. When I was almost at the bottom of the stairs, he grabbed me around the neck and body slammed me back onto the stairs.”
KeKe Palmer supported her petition by submitting photos and footage showing both incidents.
Darius Jackson has remained silent on the issue.
