Us Weekly reports that Keke is accusing Darius of abusing her multiple times throughout their relationship over the past two years.
Keke says that Darius‘ “many instances of physical violence” include “destroying my personal property, including diaries and prescription eyeglasses, throwing my belongings into the street, throwing my car keys to prevent me from driving away, hitting [me] in front of our son, spewing profanities about me to our son, threatening to kill himself with a gun if I left him, harassment, and other physical and emotional abuse.”
There’s also an allegation of something that happened on November 5, which Keke says was caught on a security camera.
Keke claims that Darius “trespassed into my home without my knowledge or consent.” She says that he “threatened” her before “lunging for my neck, striking me, throwing me over the couch and stealing my phone.”
Us Weekly says that Keke wants sole custody of their son.
Just a couple months ago, Keke addressed her relationship status and said that “life is good.”
