Disney Channel star Skai Jackson was recently arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery following an altercation with her boyfriend at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, California. The incident occurred on August 9, when security personnel observed Jackson and her boyfriend engaging in a physical altercation.
Security guards intervened after witnessing Jackson allegedly pushing her boyfriend multiple times. Law enforcement was called to the scene, and upon reviewing security footage, it was confirmed that Jackson had indeed pushed her boyfriend twice. Subsequently, Jackson was arrested, cited, and released a few hours later.
The case is now under review by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to determine if further charges will be filed. Despite the footage showing the altercation, both Jackson and her boyfriend denied any physical altercation, claiming to be happily engaged and expecting a baby.
Skai Jackson, known for her roles in “Jessie” and “Bunk’d,” has kept her boyfriend out of the public eye, maintaining a private personal life. This incident adds her to the list of Disney Channel stars who have faced legal issues, including Orlando Brown, Mitchel Musso, and Stoney Westmoreland.
Orlando Brown, a former star of “That’s So Raven,” has a history of run-ins with the law for offenses such as burglaries, domestic violence, and drug-related incidents. Mitchel Musso, known for his role in “Hannah Montana,” was arrested for public intoxication last summer. Stoney Westmoreland, an ex-actor from “Andi Mack,” faced serious charges in 2018 for allegedly attempting to engage in sexual activities with a minor.
