Former Disney star Skai Jackson is facing a potential misdemeanor charge after being arrested on suspicion of domestic battery, Entertainment Weekly reports. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to EW that police responded to a domestic incident at Universal Studios Hollywood on August 9, with law enforcement alleging that 22-year-old Jackson — known for playing Zuri in Jessie and Bunk’d — was the “primary aggressor.†According to “Page Six,†authorities claim that surveillance footage showed Jackson pushing her boyfriend two times. Jackson was reportedly cited and released hours after her arrest, with her case passed to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office to determine whether or not charges will be pressed. (The DA’s office did not immediately respond to Vulture’s request for comment, so the current status of the case is not clear.)
Meanwhile, both “Page Six†and TMZ report that the couple denied getting physical in this incident, with Jackson allegedly saying that they are actually happily engaged and expecting a baby together. (Representatives for Jackson did not immediately respond to Vulture’s request for comment, and there’s been no public confirmation of a pregnancy or proposal as of publication time.) Meanwhile, whoever runs Jackson’s social media was ostensibly in good enough spirits to post recent red carpet pics of the actress on Instagram just a couple days after her arrest.
