Keke Palmer says she was "speechless" after seeing Darius Jackson's viral post.

Keke Palmer sat down for a lengthy conversation with People published on Wednesday, reflecting on her relationship with Darius Jackson and their viral split which ended with allegations of domestic violence. The conversation began with her reaction to Jackson's viral post complaining about her dancing with Usher at his concert in Las Vegas.

She says she was at a photoshoot when she caught it and was "speechless" afterward. Jackson quickly faced backlash online and fired back with another post, reading: "We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.”

“It got so out of control,” Palmer told the outlet. “The only way I knew how to bring order was through the court.” However, their issues started before the viral post, with Palmer admitting that, “having a baby was a big stressor." She also mentioned being in the public spotlight: “Not just with my romantic relationships, but with family and friends, it’s always become a burden. Too many voices get in. It can make everybody else not trust you. It’s hard to explain.”
