Disney Channel actress Skai Jackson was taken into custody for domestic violence after reportedly getting into a physical altercation with her boyfriend.
Jackson posted this picture on her Snapchat on Monday night, following her rumored arrest three days earlier. It's unclear who her companion is.
Based on the information provided, the police chose to take Jackson and her significant other into custody once they were shown video evidence of the supposed confrontation.
The video recording reportedly captured the Disney celeb pushing her significant other two times.
Jackson was taken into custody for a minor offense of battery within the home, and was given a citation before being let go a few hours later.
The former child star has not been charged yet, and the LA County District Attorney's Office is looking into the incident.
Jackson's partner's identity is unknown, as the actress is known for keeping her love life private. She has not posted any pictures of him on her social media accounts.
Dailymail.com reached out to Jackson's team for a statement.
Jackson gained fame for her work on the popular Disney Channel series Jessie and its spin-off Bunk'd, both of which came to a close in 2018.
Jackson gained fame for her appearances on the Disney Channel shows Jessie and its spin-off Bunk'd, both of which concluded in 2018.
In the previous year, she faced criticism for claiming that her Disney funds were running low and asked her followers to send her $5 to participate in a drawing for a chance to win a MacBook.
People made fun of her attempts to raise money, so Jackson decided to make another TikTok video where she said she doesn't actually need the money and that she's not taking it too seriously.
She is now included in the increasing number of former Disney stars who have had legal issues.
One of the people mentioned is Orlando Brown, a former actor from the show 'That's So Raven', who has been in jail multiple times for offenses like domestic violence and burglary.
Mitchell Musso, known for his role in 'Hannah Montana', was charged last year in Texas for being drunk in public and stealing.
Jackson has been involved in legal issues before, such as when she sought a restraining order against rapper Bhad Bhabie due to alleged threats made against her in 2020.
Skai applied for a restraining order against 16-year-old Danielle in Los Angeles, saying she was scared to go out alone because the rapper had threatened her directly.
The actress explained that she was having trouble sleeping because of the threats made against her, and she believed Danielle was experiencing mental instability.
In the report, TMZ stated that Skai provided previous text messages from the Gucci Flip Flops rapper. In the messages, Bregoli supposedly expressed a desire to physically confront Skai, warning her to be cautious.
