Disney star Skai Jackson has recently been involved in quite a controversy, landing her in potential legal turmoil. Per reports by TMZ, Jackson was arrested in Los Angeles for domestic battery on August 9, 2024. Post her arrest, she was taken to the police station in West Hollywood where her bail was set to $20,000. Jackson was free to go after paying the hefty sum.
Sources claimed that she was on a possible date with her boyfriend in Universal City Park when things suddenly took a sour turn. Skai Jackson was allegedly involved in an argument gone south resulting in her abusing her boyfriend per sources. As per Page Six, there appears to be CCTV footage of her reportedly seen shoving her beau quite a few times until security intervened.
Jackson and her boyfriend were held until local authorities arrived for further inquiry and cited her for the same. Another source from the Sheriff's Office speaking to The Los Angeles Times claims that the case is going to be filed at the Van Nuys Superior Court to determine whether or not charges are going to be pressed against Skai Jackson.
A well-accomplished actress from Disney, Skai Jackson worked on a variety of noteworthy shows such as Jessie, Bunk'd, Dancing with the Stars, Marvel Rising, Dragon Riders, and many more. Given her spotless reputation, this is indeed a shocker for her fans.
What was Skai Jackon's defense when authorities arrested her?
As mentioned earlier, Jackson and her boyfriend were allegedly involved in a physical altercation resulting in the aforementioned arrest. However, per sources from multiple outlets, Jackson and her beau were perfectly fine and gleeful.
Additionally, they strongly denied getting into any form of physical altercations. According to the Los Angeles Times, Jackson and her boyfriend allegedly claimed to be engaged and are even expecting their first child together. Jackson becoming a mother is certainly a bombshell, however, this is all still under speculation.
