Skai Jackson said “nope” and went full protective mama bear on her ex, Deondre Burgin — and honestly, who could blame her?
The 23-year-old Disney alum (you remember her from Jessie, aka the queen of side-eyes and sass) just filed for a restraining order after what sounds like the worst Mother’s Day ever. Like, it went from “mimosas and flowers” to “someone call Judge Judy right now.”
According to court docs that People got their very nosy, journalistic hands on, Skai says Deondre went full WWE villain on her — while she was holding their newborn son, Kasai. That’s right, this man allegedly grabbed her by the hair, introduced her forehead to a car window (rude), and served her a punch to the face like it was part of a fast-food combo. Not. Okay.
But hold onto your pearls, because this wasn’t some one-off nightmare. Skai says this was a weekly horror show for six months straight — allegedly featuring choking, scratching, and enough head-slamming to qualify for a horror movie franchise. At this point, even Jason from Friday the 13th would be like, “Dude, chill.”
And when he wasn’t allegedly playing Fight Club with her personal space, Deondre reportedly went full Hulk on her electronics. He’s accused of smashing her iPhone and TV. Which, let’s be honest, is basically a felony in Gen Z court.
But wait… there’s more (and not the good infomercial kind).
While Skai was pregnant, she says Deondre told her to drink bleach (???), threatened her with a knife, and even dared to say he’d stab her in the stomach if she made a peep. Sir, this is not Saw XII, and we are not playing those games.
One particularly terrifying moment? Skai says she locked herself in the bathroom, and Deondre channeled his inner Jack Nicholson from The Shining and punched through the door. Then, she says he grabbed her, slammed her into a wall, and choked her until she couldn’t breathe. If there’s video evidence, someone get Olivia Benson on the line immediately.
A source close to Skai — probably someone wearing sunglasses and sipping tea — told IconicHipster.com that this restraining order is 100% about keeping her and baby Kasai safe. “The safety and well-being of her family is the top priority,” they shared. Translation: Don’t mess with mama.
Skai officially announced her pregnancy in November 2024, around the same time Deondre got himself arrested in Cincinnati, allegedly trying to have a showdown with cops over a juvenile parole violation. We’re talking Lifetime movie plotlines at this point, folks.
Skai’s doing what she has to do to protect herself and her baby, and we are 1000% here for it. The message is clear: No man, no matter how cute his curls might be, gets to come between a mama and her peace. Period.
