Keke Palmer’s ex and the father of her son, Darius Jackson, had social media giving him the side-eye after he dropped some parenting insight on social media.
Recently, TSR caught Darius Jackson slippin’ when he posted and quickly deleted a story about taking his son Leo to an appointment. He admitted needing some last-minute info, but Keke and the nanny came through with the details.
“Took Leodius to his doctor’s appointment back in September & barely knew his date of birth.. His mom was on speed & the nanny also helped answer the other questions but we got it done! which is all that matters,” Darius wrote via his IG Story.
Darius’ lil reveal had social media users quickly questioning his intention with sharing the message.
The Roommates immediately flooded The Shade Room’s comment section with reactions to Darius Jackson’s lil’ story time. See some of their thoughts below.
Instagram user @jesuiscantave wrote, “Somethings just don’t need to be shared. SMH.”
Instagram user @ohdanity wrote, “You don’t know when your first and only child was born?”
While Instagram user @ashleyshymiller wrote, “Now, why would he tell us he barely knew his baby’s birth date, as if he got 15 other kids to remember?”
Then Instagram user @kissmyaggie wrote, “I think this was a self deprecating way of giving props to Keke 🤔”
Another Instagram user @_impeccablea wrote, “Most fathers when they come to the office. Nothing shocking here.”
Lastly, Instagram user @thedrakeoflesbians wrote, “… men find new ways everyday to embarrass themselves.”
If you needed a lil’ refresher, Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson had everybody talking in summer 2023 after Darius shared his two cents about Keke’s outfit at Usher’s July concert. When clips of Keke enjoying the show hit social media, Darius jumped on X (formerly Twitter) to shade her for “showcasing” her “booty cheeks” at the event. By December of that year, Darius flipped the script and accused Keke of abuse, as reported by TSR. Later that month, he took things a step further and filed for a restraining order against her.
In October, Keke admitted to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that their situation had become both unhappy and unhealthy.
“It got so out of control. And the only way I knew how to bring order or control to something was through the court… having a baby was a big stressor… with family and friends, it’s always become a burden. Too many voices get in… It’s hard to explain,” Keke explained.
Despite going their separate ways, Keke shared that things between them have improved, and they’re in a much better space now.
“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. Walking away is the only way… Nonetheless, I’m so proud of him and happy for him. I feel very at ease now knowing things are under control,” Keke added.
