Former Disney star Skai Jackson has been granted a temporary restraining order against Deondre Burgin, the father of her infant son, Kasai, following allegations of domestic violence. The order was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, where Jackson expressed concerns about her safety after an alarming incident on Mother’s Day. She alleges that while she was holding their three-month-old son, Burgin physically assaulted her, an act she claims included grabbing her hair, slamming her head against a car window, and punching her in the face.
The restraining order seeks to keep Burgin at least 100 yards away from Jackson, their son, and even her dog. Jackson cited previous instances of abuse, including claims that Burgin had choked her and damaged her personal property. She also recounted chilling incidents during her pregnancy when he allegedly encouraged her to drink bleach and threatened her with a knife.
Burgin, 21, has a documented history of legal troubles, including past arrests and a parole violation that corresponded with the birth of their son in January.
While the situation with Burgin is troubling, Jackson has expressed her dedication to embracing motherhood and finding strength through her experiences. At a recent event, she reflected positively on her journey, highlighting the joys of watching her son grow and balancing her career as she resumes work.
Despite the tumultuous challenges she faces, Jackson’s commitment to being a vibrant and engaged mother shines through, leaving room for hope for her and her son’s future amidst adversity.
