Keke Palmer's mother, Sharon Palmer, is standing by her daughter after she defended her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson on social media.
Sarunas, 33, expressed his strong disapproval and contempt for someone he considers to be the most repulsive, malicious, and manipulative individual he has ever come across in his entire life in a now-deleted post on X (previously Twitter). He further mentioned that this person engages in mistreatment towards almost everyone, and Sarunas hopes that others will also witness this behavior. Sarunas urged others to channel positive energy towards the innocent children caught in the middle of such turmoil, as they do not deserve to experience such unfortunate circumstances. Sarunas' words conveyed a deep sadness within him.
In response, Sharon retaliated against Sarunas by stating that it was outrageous for him to post such nonsensical content on his Twitter account, especially knowing that his brother is abusive. She revealed in an Instagram video shared on Thursday that she had approached Sarunas more than a year ago to inform him about the abusive treatment her daughter had been enduring at the hands of his brother. Sharon was taken aback when Sarunas responded to her with the surprising statement, "I used to be like that too."
Sharon further alleged that Sarunas, who is famously known for his portrayal of Alejandro "Dro" Peña on Insecure, had taught his brother how to engage in "abusive behavior towards women." She continued by stating, "Therefore, he cannot pretend to be this exceptional individual. The reality is, he is a f—kboy and contributes to the problem."

Sarunas refuted Davis' allegations, emphasizing that he never uttered those words to Sharon. He vehemently denied ever being abusive towards any woman he has been involved with. However, he warned Sharon that her voice will soon be heard by the world, along with the threats she made towards his family.
As for Darius, he has not publicly responded to Keke's assertions. On Thursday, he shared a post saying "I love you, son. See you soon" via X. Us has reached out for comment.
Keke and Darius were in a relationship from August 2021 to October. However, their attempts at couples therapy failed, leading to their separation. Us confirmed on Thursday that Keke is now pursuing full custody of their 8-month-old son, Leodis, alleging that Darius has been "getting rough" with the baby.

"I expressed worry for Leo's well-being when Darius displayed intense frustration towards him while Leo was crying during a diaper change," Keke asserted in the court documents, which have been examined by Us, regarding an incident last month. "Darius began treating Leo harshly physically, and I intervened to ensure that Leo would not be harmed."
She additionally claimed: "Eventually, Darius released his grip, and Leo was unharmed. However, while I was holding Leo, attempting to provide comfort and complete the diaper change, Darius struck me on the head before angrily leaving the room."
Sharon, on the other hand, has grown weary of remaining quiet.
"Challenge accepted. Cross paths with my family and face the consequences. Family, to me, holds utmost importance," proclaimed Sharon in her social media video caption. "You and your family exhibit sociopathic behavior, thinking the world is blind to it. Your inauthenticity was evident from the very beginning. Despite our kindness towards you, this is the way you choose to repay us. I refuse to tolerate this any longer. I've reached my breaking point!"
