Skai Jackson was recently arrested for alleged domestic battery after an argument with her boyfriend at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. The 22-year-old actress was taken into custody on August 8th and was released on bail later that day. Authorities were called to the theme park where Jackson and her boyfriend were arguing, and she was reportedly seen pushing him multiple times. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will review the case to determine if charges will be filed.
Although Jackson has not publicly revealed her boyfriend’s identity, she posted a Snapchat photo in February with a mystery man whose face was covered by an emoji. The actress is best known for her role as Zuri Ross on the Disney Channel series “Jessie” and its spinoff “Bunk’d.” She has also worked on other projects such as the Marvel Rising animated series and the film “Sheroes.” In 2020, she competed on season 29 of “Dancing With the Stars” with partner Alan Bersten, finishing in fifth place.
In an interview earlier this year, Jackson mentioned that she doesn’t get to see her former “Jessie” castmates often due to living in different states. However, they have remained in touch since the series ended nearly a decade ago. She expressed how proud she is of her former co-stars and credited her upbringing and support system for keeping her grounded throughout her childhood acting career, which began in 2006 with an appearance on “Sesame Street.” Jackson highlighted the unique opportunities she had as a young actress in the industry.
Despite the recent legal issue, Jackson has reflected on her positive experiences in the entertainment industry and the values instilled in her by her family and friends. She emphasized the importance of having a strong support system to navigate the challenges of being a child actress. Jackson continues to pursue her acting career and remains grateful for the opportunities she has had. It is unclear how the arrest will impact her future projects, but she has received support from fans and well-wishers during this difficult time. Authorities will continue to investigate the incident to determine the appropriate course of action.
