After the Nope actress was granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order against her ex in November, Jackson—who is dad to their 9-month-old son Leo—has submitted a legal response.

"So much of Darius' abuse towards me throughout our relationship was based on his insecurity and jealousy," Palmer, who also filed for sole custody of Leo, stated in the docs, "that I became extremely concerned when Darius started to express jealousy about the time I was spending with our son."

Palmer detailed alleged incidents of physical abuse in her filing, as well as accusing Jackson of emotional abuse, stating that it happened throughout their romance, which began in 2021.

"Darius would 'love bomb' me and make me feel like I was the most important woman in the world, only to get extremely distant and cold over a perceived insult to him," she said in the filing. "Darius had a way of gaslighting me to make me feel like I was doing something wrong even though I wasn't."

Shortly after the allegations became public, Jackson posted a since-removed photo of himself and his son to X, formerly known as Twitter, writing, "I love you, son. See you soon."
