Keke Palmer<\/strong>‘s ex, Darius Jackson<\/strong>, is denying her bombshell abuse allegations — and is levying his own claims against her mother … whom he insists threatened to put a bullet in his head.<\/p>\n Sources close to Darius tell TMZ the latest issue between the couple stems from an argument over the custody of their infant son, Leo<\/strong>. Per our sources … Darius had texted Keke about going to pick up his son to watch football last Sunday — but when he arrived to Keke’s place, Leo wasn’t there.<\/p>\n From there, an argument between Darius and Keke ensued, and at some point, Keke got her mom, Sharon<\/strong>, on the phone and put her on speaker — and we’re told Sharon was screaming\/cussing Darius out. It was during that time when Sharon allegedly told Darius she’d put a bullet in his head … which brought things to another level.<\/p>\n Darius then attempted to wrestle Keke’s phone away from her — which our sources say is what’s depicted in one of KP’s exhibits<\/strong> from her restraining order filing last week … which shows them tussling and struggling on the couch.<\/p>\n We’re told Darius absolutely denies abusing Keke … and our sources say cops even came over and didn’t find any probable cause to arrest him for DV. They didn’t even file a report, we’re told … which our sources say backs up DJ’s account.<\/p>\n We’re told Darius’ mother caught wind of the bullet to the head threat, and texted Sharon over it.<\/p>\n We should note, Keke also included screenshots from an altercation between her and Darius on the stairs from Feb. 2022 in her restraining order filing — we don’t know what led to that incident.<\/p>\n In any case, our sources say Darius is sticking to his story … and that denies the recent allegations of abuse. A judge, of course, felt a temporary restraining order was warranted.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/5f\/16by9\/2023\/11\/13\/5f7b5838feb0448882d6c4946420494c_md.jpg\")
