Skai Jackson is taking legal action to protect herself and her child.

The actress, best known for her role on Disney Channel’s Jessie, has filed for a restraining order against Deondre Burgin, the father of her 3-month-old son, Kasai.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, Skai claims Burgin has been physically abusive for more than a year, with the most recent incident allegedly taking place on Mother’s Day.

 Skai says the May 12 altercation escalated as she was holding their infant son. She alleges that Burgin grabbed her by the hair, slammed her head against a car window, and punched her in the face—all while she was cradling their baby.

Skai also detailed a troubling history of alleged abuse spanning six months in 2024. During that time, she says Burgin attacked her weekly, including choking, scratching, and slamming her head into a wall. She also accuses him of damaging her personal belongings, including a television and her iPhone.

The court filings also contain disturbing claims about incidents that occurred while she was pregnant. Skai says Burgin once demanded she drink bleach in an attempt to terminate her pregnancy. She also claims he held her at knifepoint, threatening to stab her in the stomach if she called for help.

Skai alleges that in another incident last summer, she locked herself in a bathroom to get away from him, but Burgin punched through the door, dragged her out, slammed her against the wall, and choked her until she couldn’t breathe. She says she has video evidence of this attack.

At the time of Kasai’s birth in January, Burgin was serving a 90-day jail sentence for a parole violation. He was arrested again last month on an outstanding warrant.

Skai says she fears for her safety and the safety of her child. She told the court that Burgin owns three firearms, including a rifle, and is asking for a restraining order that would require him to stay at least 100 yards away from her, Kasai, and her dog.

In addition to protection, Skai is requesting legal child support arrangements and for Burgin to pay her attorney fees. She’s also asking that he be ordered to complete a domestic violence treatment program.
