Skai Jackson has just been granted a restraining order against her son’s father, Deondre Burgin, after detailing a nightmare of alleged abuse that sounds more like a horror movie than real life. And the details are chilling.
This is truly heartbreaking news. Former Disney star Skai Jackson has been granted a temporary restraining order against her baby’s father following horrifying allegations of abuse that include a Mother’s Day attack and chilling threats during her pregnancy.
Court documents obtained by PEOPLE detail a terrifying pattern of alleged abuse. Skai claims that on Mother’s Day, while she was holding their infant son, Kasai, Burgin physically assaulted her. She alleged that he grabbed her by the hair, slammed her head against a car window, and even punched her in the face. This wasn’t an isolated incident, either. Skai reported enduring a brutal six-month period where the alleged abuse was a weekly occurrence, including instances of choking, scratching, and having her head slammed into walls.
But the most disturbing claims take us back to her pregnancy. Skai alleged that Burgin once demanded she drink bleach to end their unborn child’s life and, in another terrifying moment, held her at knifepoint. She even recounted an instance where he threatened to stab her in the stomach if she cried out for help while walking her to her car.
In addition to the physical and emotional torment, Skai also detailed how Burgin allegedly damaged her personal property, destroying an iPhone and a television. She also claims to have video evidence of an incident where Burgin punched through a bathroom door after she locked herself inside, then allegedly slammed her against a wall and choked her until she couldn’t breathe.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, Skai stated that Burgin reportedly owns multiple firearms and has a violent criminal history. A source close to the actress emphasized that filing the restraining order was a necessary step to ensure the safety and well-being of both her and her child.
“The safety and well-being of her family is the top priority,” the insider told PEOPLE. “This restraining order was filed as a necessary measure to protect her and her child from continued harassment and threats.”
The judge has ordered Burgin to stay 100 yards away from Skai and her son and to complete a domestic violence program, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for June 9th.
Thoughts are entirely with Skai Jackson as she navigates this harrowing ordeal. It takes immense courage to speak out about abuse, especially when it involves such deeply personal and traumatic experiences.
