Social media is tearing former Disney star Skai Jackson to shreds, just hours after she revealed that she’s expecting her first child with her boyfriend.
The news comes months after the “Jessie” actor’s arrest following a domestic dispute at Universal CityWalk.
Jackson sat down with People magazine to share that she is “thrilled to begin this new chapter” in her life, embracing motherhood while simultaneously diving into new acting projects.
After the publication was released, the drama began to unfold, with social media users expressing disappointment over her choice of partner.
Social media investigators dug into the 22-year-old’s boyfriend's accounts and discovered a post where he made negative comments about Skai. Her boyfriend, who goes by the names “Yerkky Yerrky” and “Richnviolent” on social media, had posted on Facebook that he regretted getting the star pregnant.
Reports indicate that Yerkky Yerrky has several children from previous relationships before impregnating Skai Jackson.
Blog sites quickly picked up the story yesterday (November 12). Skai and her "momager," Kiya Cole, stepped in to clarify that her boyfriend did not make the post and that his account had been hacked.
Some fans were quick to draw parallels with other female entertainers whom they believed had made questionable choices in their partners. Names like Halle Bailey, Keke Palmer, and Flo Milli were soon mentioned alongside Skai in various threads on X (formerly Twitter).
