The "Jessie" star was arrested in California following her time at an amusement park.
Skai Jackson, former star on Disney’s Jessie and Bunk’d, was arrested last week due to a domestic incident with her boyfriend.
Jackson’s day at Universal Studios Hollywood ended in cuffs as police responded to the amusement park as its security personnel detained the actress. Deputies reviewed the surveillance footage, which allegedly captured Jackson pushing her boyfriend.
“While inside the Universal Studios Theme Park, a domestic incident occurred involving Skai Jackson,” a Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told the Los Angeles Times. “Based on the initial investigation, it was determined Ms. Jackson was the primary aggressor and was arrested for misdemeanor spousal battery.”
The actress was taken to West Hollywood’s Sheriff’s Station, though she was released hours later. An LASD spokesperson noted that no injuries were reported following the altercation. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has yet to determine whether to charge Jackson for the incident.
Even though the altercation was captured on surveillance footage, both Jackson and her boyfriend denied any physical fight taking place. At the time of the incident, the actress was supposedly pregnant. She has yet to confirm either her pregnancy or engagement, as she keeps her private life and relationship off of social media.
Jackson recently went live on TikTok, though she didn’t speak on her arrest. Many social media users asked about the arrest via the live’s comment section. The actress appeared to ignore the questions, opting to speak about an upcoming project she recently finished filming.
“I have a TV show that I just filmed, but I can’t say what it is yet,” Jackson said.
Social media users pointed out the fact that Jackson was tight-lipped about her arrest, one noting that she answered any other question besides the ones about her arrest.
The 22-year-old actress was last on our television screens when she competed on the 29th season of Dancing with the Stars in 2020.
