Skai Jackson files for restraining order against baby's father Deondre Burgin over alleged abuse

Former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson has filed for a restraining order against Deondre Burgin, the father of her 3-month-old son, citing multiple incidents of alleged abuse, including a violent Mother's Day attack.

According to legal documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Jackson claims Burgin assaulted her earlier this month while she was holding their infant son, Kasai. She alleges Burgin grabbed her by the hair, slammed her head against a car window, and punched her in the face.

Jackson describes a disturbing pattern of alleged domestic violence throughout their relationship. She claims Burgin repeatedly assaulted her in 2024, including choking, scratching, and slamming her head into walls. During her pregnancy, she alleges Burgin demanded she drink bleach and threatened her life with a knife.

In one reported incident, Jackson says Burgin broke through a bathroom door where she had sought refuge and choked her until she could not breathe. She states she has video evidence of this attack.

Jackson also alleges that Burgin owns three firearms, including a rifle, which has heightened her fear for her safety. She is requesting the court to order Burgin to stay at least 100 yards away from her, their child, and her dog. Additionally, she is asking for mandatory domestic violence treatment for Burgin, a legal child support agreement, and compensation for her legal fees.

Burgin, who has a history of legal issues, was reportedly serving a 90-day jail sentence for a parole violation when Jackson gave birth in January. A court hearing regarding the restraining order is pending.
