Hector Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Quote The pair appeared every bit the happy couple throughout her pregnancy and just after Leo was born in February 2023. But behind the scenes, "There was a lot going on," she says, even before Jackson took to social media with a gripe that July. "It's the outfit tho . . . you a mom," he wrote in response to a video showing Palmer wearing a sheer dress as she danced with Usher at his concert. Fans immediately came to her defense online, but Palmer writes that the relationship had already grown "unhappy and unhealthy." It had also become violent. In her request for a temporary restraining order granted by a court that November, she detailed multiple allegations of domestic violence, including when she says Jackson broke into her home and attempted to strangle her, an incident caught on video. He responded in court with his own accusations and alleged evidence that she abused him as they clashed over custody of Leo. It got so out of control," she says. "The only way I knew how to bring order was through the court." As for what initially went wrong between them, "having a baby was a big stressor," she says, as was fame: "Not just with my romantic relationships, but with family and friends, it's always become a burden. Too many voices get in. It can make everybody else not trust you. It's hard to explain." Six months later, after court-ordered mediation, Palmer and Jackson settled amicably on a joint custody agreement. Looking back on the relationship, she writes, "I wish I could say he was terrible the entire time or that I was ... but it wasn't that black-and-white and that was the problem." She continues, "I didn't want my son to think his father is a monster, because I don't." Glad she got out of there safe and sound
