Just four months afterwelcoming her first child,Skai Jacksonhas been granted arestraining orderagainst her son's father following an allegedMother's Dayaltercation. The former child star and Disney Channel alum, who starred in the series "Jessie" and "Bunk'd," filed the request against Deondre Burgin on May 19 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY on May 20. The granted order requires Burgin, 21, to stay at least 100 yards away from Jackson and their son, 3-month-old Kasai, as well as Jackson's home. The legal request comes after Burgin allegedly attacked Jackson on Mother's Day (May 11), per the actress's filing. Jackson, 23, claims Burgin slammed her head on the back seat window of her car and hit her in the face while she was holding their son. The altercation punctuates an alleged history of physical abuse dating back to April 2024. "I don't feel safe with my son being around him due to his violent history," Jackson said in the filing. USA TODAY has reached out to Jackson's representatives for comment. Jackson has also had her own brush with the law. In August 2024, the actress wasarrested on suspicion of domestic batteryfollowing an altercation with her then-fiancé, who was not named, at Universal Studios Hollywood in California, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed to USA TODAY at the time. The actress was released a few hours after her arrest and wasnot charged by the LA County District Attorney's Office. In a September 2024 statement to People magazine, a representative for Jackson said she was "relieved" that an investigation showed the incident was "nothing more than a misunderstanding." Skai Jackson arrested onsuspicion of domestic battery after altercation with fiancé Jackson alleges Burgin subjected her to physical and verbal abuse on a weekly basis between April and October 2024, including a June 2024 altercation that reportedly transpired after a man texted Jackson. The actress, who was pregnant at the time, detailed the harrowing attack in her restraining order request. In a jealous rage, Burgin allegedly broke Jackson's phone, choked her against the kitchen countertop and demanded that she drink bleach to kill their unborn child. Afterward, Jackson says Burgin walked her to her car at knifepoint and attempted to force her to drive to the doctor's office and get an abortion. When Jackson began to comply with Burgin's request, the man reportedly halted his attack and asked her why she would want to "kill" their child.

In July 2024, Jackson locked herself in her bathroom after Burgin allegedly chased her upstairs, after which the man punched and kicked through the door, per court documents. Burgin then reportedly slammed the actress against the bathroom wall, spit in her face and choked her until she "could not breathe." Jackson also says Burgin threatened her with a handgun during the alleged altercation, which she purports to have video evidence of. The judge in Jackson's case has ordered Burgin to relinquish any firearms in his possession, including firearm parts and ammunition, within 24 hours of receiving the restraining order. Jackson isn't the only one who's taken legal action against Burgin amid his alleged abuse. The actress claims in her restraining order request that her mother, Kiya Cole, previously filed a similar order for Burgin, which reportedly led to an argument between Jackson and Burgin in September 2024. Jackson says Burgin, who was allegedly upset by Cole's filing, tried to hit her and also threatened that his cousin, Mark Burgin, would kill Cole in retaliation. Representatives for Cole were not available for comment at the time of publication. In addition to the restraining order, Jackson has been granted sole legal and physical custody of son Kasai, which also prevents Burgin from visiting the child. A hearing in Jackson's case is scheduled for June 9.
