Skai Jackson, former Disney star, has filed a restraining order against her ex and baby daddy, Deondre Burgin, claiming he has ‘terrorised’ her.

The ex-couple have a 3-month-old together, Kasai, who Skai claims was in her arms when Deondre last attacked her, on Mother’s Day, 11th May.

The Disney star alleged a 6-month long period of weekly physical abuse, involving several instances of violence where the star was allegedly strangled and harassed.

One of the most poignant accusations listed in the document is when Deondre allegedly demanded Skai to ‘drink bleach whilst she was pregnant’, allegedly holding his partner at knifepoint.

The baby daddy, also known as Yerky Yerky, has a long history of crime, most recently being arrested back in April, and famously missing the birth of the couple’s child because he was in prison.

The actress also claims to have video evidence of the rapper allegedly punching through a bathroom door where the star had locked herself.

Skai is seeking a child support agreement whereby she can maintain full custody of their child, Kasai.

The current whereabouts of Deondre is unknown, and he is yet to comment on the allegations, while the next hearing for the domestic violence order is set for June 9th.
