Why Did Skai Jackson File Restraining Order Against Ex-Boyfriend Deondre Burgin? Everything We Know About Couple's Fight
Skai Jackson, best known for her role on the Disney Channel, has filed a restraining order against her child's father, Deondre Burgin, following a disturbing alleged assault on Mother's Day. According to court documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Jackson claims that Burgin attacked her while she was holding their 3-month-old son, Kasai. She says he grabbed her by the hair, slammed her head into a car window, and punched her in the face.
Skai Jackson detailed a pattern of domestic violence dating back months. In court documents, she alleged that Deondre Burgin abused her weekly during a six-month period in 2024. She described being choked, scratched, and having her head slammed into walls. She also claims he destroyed personal items, including her iPhone and television.
While she was pregnant, Jackson says Burgin held her at knifepoint and demanded she drink bleach to harm the unborn child. She also says he threatened to stab her in the stomach if she called for help.
One incident Jackson claims was caught on video allegedly shows Burgin punching through a locked bathroom door, slamming her into a wall, and choking her until she couldn't breathe.
Jackson's request for a temporary restraining order was granted by the court. The order requires Burgin to stay 100 yards away from her, their son Kasai, and her dog. Jackson also asked the court to require Burgin to attend a domestic violence treatment program. In addition, she is seeking child support and wants him to pay her legal fees.
According to TMZ, Burgin has a history of legal trouble. He was serving a 90-day jail sentence for a parole violation when Jackson gave birth in January 2025. He was also arrested in April on an outstanding warrant. Jackson says he owns three firearms, including a rifle, and shared that she was scared for her safety and that of her son.
A source close to Jackson told PEOPLE, 'The safety and well-being of her family is the top priority. This restraining order was filed as a necessary measure to protect her and her child from continued harassment and threats.'
In January, Jackson shared the first photo of her baby's hands on Instagram. The following month, at the NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors, she spoke about motherhood: 'I love being a new mom. It's just so exciting.' She added, 'I can just handle whatever at this point.'

Daboo Malik admits being at fault, taking son Amaal Mallik for granted: ‘We forgot that even he wanted to be a star'
In March this year, music composer Amaal Mallik revealed that he had cut ties with his family and had been diagnosed with depression. He blamed his parents for creating distance between him and his brother. Now, in an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Daboo Malik has opened up about how he reacted to Amaal's post, admitting that he, as a parent, was at fault. Daboo Malik admits his mistakes that led to Amaal Mallik feeling lonely. Daboo Malik admits being at fault He shared that when he first saw Amaal's post, he assumed it was another gimmick, but after reading it, he realised something was 'drastically wrong.' From that moment and for the next 15 days, he stayed at Amaal's place, hugged him, and tried to understand what he had missed. Speaking about that period, he said, 'I was there the whole day and night. Then I realised that this public outburst, which shouldn't have come out in public in the first place, happened because there must have been something in his heart that he wanted the world, including his family, to know. And I accepted that we, as parents, were at fault. Sometimes we take one of the children for granted, and in this case, Amaal was the elder one.' He continued, 'We assumed he was like a parent to Armaan, so we all worked together on Armaan's career. We wanted him to be a singer and a pop star, which he has now become beautifully. In all this, we forgot that even Amaal wanted to be a noticeable star.' Daboo also acknowledged that as parents, they should not have made comparisons, admitting to saying things they should not have. He accepted his mistake of not understanding Amaal's needs and praised him for creating over 80 hit songs. When Amaal Mallik cut ties with his family In March, Amaal had taken to Instagram to post a heartbreaking note revealing that he was stepping away from 'these personal ties' and that his interactions with his family would be strictly professional from then on. He wrote, 'Today I stand at a point where I have been robbed of my peace, drained emotionally & maybe financially too, but that's the least of my concerns. What really matters is that I am clinically depressed because of these happenings. Yes, I have only myself to blame for my actions, but my self-worth has been diminished countless times by the actions of near and dear ones that stole pieces of my soul.' Amaal began his career assisting renowned composers like Amar Mohile and Pritam before debuting as an independent composer in 2014 with Jai Ho, where his song Tere Naina and the title track gained recognition. Over the years, he has delivered numerous hit tracks for Bollywood films such as Roy (Sooraj Dooba Hain), Kapoor & Sons (Kar Gayi Chull), Badrinath Ki Dulhania (Aashiq Surrender Hua), and M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (Besabriyaan, Kaun Tujhe).
