Skai Jackson alleges that her ex-boyfriend, Deondre Burgin, “demanded” she drink bleach while pregnant with their 4-month-old son, Kasai, and regularly abused her.

Jackson, 23, was granted a temporary restraining order by the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, May 19, reports The Los Angeles Times.

In her request, the former Disney Channel actress described disturbing incidents of alleged abuse, including claims that Burgin physically attacked her in June 2024 after becoming “jealous” that she had received a text message from another man.

“He demanded that I drink bleach to kill our unborn child,” Jackson wrote in the court filing, per the Los Angeles Times and E! News, both of which obtained the docs.

Hilary Duff, Vanessa Hudgens and more former Disney stars have started families since their younger years on Disney Channel. Hudgens confirmed via her Instagram Stories in July 2024 that she gave birth to her and her husband Cole Tucker’s first baby. “Mom, Dad and baby are happy and healthy,” Hudgens wrote via Instagram at the […]

“He then walked me to the car with a knife in his hand telling me to get in the driver seat and if I called out for help he would stab me in the stomach. He then called his friend … telling him he was about to kill me,” Jackson alleged. “He then told me to drive to the doctor to get an abortion. When I tried to, he asked me was I crazy and why would I want to kill our child.”

Jackson claimed she was subject to “weekly” abuse by Burgin between May and October 2024, per E! News, and that her ex once threatened her with a gun.

The Jessie and Bunk’d actress also described a more recent incident, which she said took place on Mother’s Day earlier this month.

“He grabbed me by the hair, slammed my head on the back seat window of my car and hit me in the face while holding my son,” Jackson alleged. “Deondre caused me to have a bloody nose. I don’t feel safe with my son being around him due to his violent history. He also said ‘F’ my child.”

Many actors who have found award-winning success were originally connected to a Disney Channel role. Nicholas Braun appeared in the original movie Princess Protection Program in 2009 before snagging a role in HBO’s Succession. Braun revealed that his experience on Disney Channel was hard to handle at the time. “The opportunities to be the lead […]

Us Weekly could not reach Burgin for comment.

A hearing for a permanent restraining order will take place on June 9, reports the L.A. Times.

In August 2024, Us Weekly confirmed Jackson had been arrested for alleged domestic battery after a fight with her then-boyfriend at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. The actress informed officers at the time that she and her boyfriend were engaged and that she was pregnant.

The actress was released from police custody hours later on a $20,000 bond and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office declined to file charges. Both Jackson and her boyfriend denied getting into a physical altercation.

Jackson announced the birth of her son in late January via Instagram. “Kasai 🧸🤎,” the Disney alum wrote alongside a photo showing off her newborn’s tiny feet clad in a green plaid onesie and matching socks.

The actress first shared news of her pregnancy in November 2024. “I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life — embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects,” she said in a statement to People at the time. “My heart is so full!”
