Keke Palmer has disclosed secrets of her tumultuous relationship with now ex-Darius Jackson in her upcoming book Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative which marks her second memoir after the 2017’s I Don’t Belong to You: Quiet the Noise and Find Your Voice.
“Now that lady has a story to tell,” she tells PEOPLE during her cover page interview.
Palmer explained how she’s found herself in mature situations throughout her life whereas in hindsight she’s only a 31-year-old woman. ‘That’s always been the thing with me: I’m in a mature scenario, having these older experiences in the workplace and with my sense of purpose,’ she said adding that she also has her immaturities.
This paradox is one of the themes she explores in her book along with her relationship with former partner Jackson. A few months after welcoming their son Leo, the couple’s seemingly happy relationship imploded when the latter posted on social media criticizing Palmer’s sheer dress which she wore to an Usher concert, ‘It’s the outfit tho . . . you a mom,’ he wrote.
This prompted outrage against Jackson, followed by allegations of domestic violence and a custody battle. “It was the hardest thing I ever had to go through,” she writes in her book. Now that she’s reached a good place as co-parents with her former partner, Palmer is open to retrospect her relationship.
