Though Darius Jackson — presumed ex-boyfriend of Keke Palmer, with whom he shares 9-month-old son Leodis — has kept a relatively low profile since those bombshell domestic abuse allegations dropped, it seems he may have just turned a new leaf for the better.
In a post to his personal Instagram on Thursday, the actor explained the reason behind his silence and revealed that he’d been baptized in the first step to his ultimate fulfillment.
“There’s A LOT I can say but not allowed to say. And at this point, don’t even want to say. I will say, however, that God is & will always be your greatest ally,” he captioned in the video, which showed various clips of him working out while audio from a sermon played in the background.
“I have put my trust, patience, timing & entire life onto him so that I can continue to get through the days. Lord Jesus has been with me throughout & has strengthen me to the point where I am continuing to push forward & not looking back. He’s surrounded me with friends & family that has always been there as well as sending me love from many individuals who have reached out. And for that, I thank you.”
He concluded, “Extremely blessed to have repent & be baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus. But the work doesn’t stop, there’s so much I have to do in order to be fulfilled. Saving myself was the 1st step. ACTS 2:38.”
This post comes amid his current custody battle with Palmer. As previously reported by The Root, the KeyTV creator sparked a firestorm of social media debates when she filed for a temporary restraining order against Jackson, accusing him of domestic violence.
After weeks of messy headlines, Palmer and Jackson recently decided to reschedule the restraining order hearing and take their issues to a mediator.
