“Rude Awakening” Keke Palmer on Her Last Relationship

Keke Palmer, the American actress and media personality, recently shared insights into her challenging relationship with her ex-partner and father of her child, Darius Jackson.

In a podcast episode released on November 28, Pamler candidly discussed how her upbringing shaped her expectations in relationships. This led to a “rude awakening” when she started dating.

During the conversation with her co-host and mother, Sharon Palmer, Keke revealed her initial belief that all men would be respectful toward women. This belief was influenced by the respectful relationship she witnessed between her own parents, Larry and Sharon.

However, the celeb expressed her surprise at encountering misogyny in her own relationship, describing it as hitting her “hard and quick.”

She highlighted the contrast between her father’s respectful behavior towards her mother within their household. She also noted the lack of similar respect she observed outside.

Reflecting on her upbringing, Keke said, “So, for me, when I entered outside of my household and I saw that everybody doesn’t really respect their wives or even women in the way that my dad respects my mom, it [was] a pretty rude awakening.”

In the podcast, Keke also shared her experience of feeling unseen and unappreciated in an intimate scenario with someone.

This revelation comes after the court granted Keke Palmer a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Darius, earlier this month. Allegedly, she faced both physical and verbal assault in front of their 9-month-old son, Leodis. Also, Keke has temporary sole physical and legal custody of their child, with no visitation rights given to Jackson.
