Skai Jackson is detailing horrific abuse she endured from Deondre Burgin.
The Jessie alum—who welcomed baby Kasai with her ex in January—filed for a restraining order against Burgin May 19, alleging several instances of domestic violence that occurred in the last year.
In the documents, Jackson detailed that during an occurrence last June, Burgin became jealous after she received a text, noting “he was jealous that a male texted me so he broke my phone, choked me against the kitchen counter top.”
Jackson went on sharing that Burgin “demanded” her to “drink bleach to kill our unborn child.” The 23-year-old explained that he then escorted her out of their home at knifepoint, and led her to the driver’s seat of her car.
“If I called out for help he would stab me in the stomach,” Jackson wrote, noting that Burgin went on to call a friend to tell him “he was about to kill me.”
After the alleged phone call, Jackson noted that Burgin told her to drive to a doctor to attempt to get an abortion.
“When I tried he asked me if I was crazy,” Jackson continued. “And why would I want to kill our unborn child.”
In addition to alleging Burgin has physically assaulted her “multiple times,” Jackson detailed experiencing abuse “weekly” between the months of May and October 2024. The Disney alum noted that he also once used a hand gun to threaten her.

Elsewhere in her filing, Jackson asked for the restraining order to extend to the couple’s 3-month-old son, alleging that Burgin had assaulted her as recently as Mother’s Day.
“Deondre Burgin assaulted me while I was holding our son,” she noted. “He grabbed me by my hair, slammed my head on the backseat window of my car and hit me in the face while holding my son.”
Jackson emphasized that she does not feel “safe” with Burgin around her or their child, adding that during the May 11 incident, “He also said ‘F’ my child.’”
Although Jackson’s request for a permanent restraining order is still pending, she has been granted a temporary restraining order for herself and her son from Burgin until a hearing next month. E! News has reached out to Burgin regarding Jackson’s filing but has not yet heard back.
