Another Disney star is heading down the wrong path. Media Take Out learned that actress Skai Jackson, 22, best known for starring in Jessie and Bunk’d, was arrested for domestic violence yesterday.
According to TMZ, Skai and her boyfriend were at Universal on a date, when the two started arguing. The report claims that the two started arguing, and Skai began pushing her boyfriend, in front of other guests.
Skai is less than 5 feet tall, and weighs just 90 pounds.
Deputies say they reviewed video footage and saw she pushed him. And despite being so much smaller than her boyfriend, Skai was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery and released a few hours later.
Now for the tea. The report claims that Skai told police that she and her boyfriend were expecting a baby together, when she was begging not to be arrested.
Here’s Skai’s boyfriend.
