Disney star Skai Jackson’s domestic battery charges have been dropped due to insufficient evidence.
Officers responded after Jackson was seen by Universal security guards pushing her boyfriend multiple times. When questioned by the cops, the couple denied an assault had occurred but then they reviewed video footage and the actress was arrested and released hours later.
The case was then sent to be reviewed by the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office. Despite the camera footage, there was not enough evidence to move forward with a prosecution.
Skai Jackson is an American actress best known for playing Zuri Ross in the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie (2011–2015) and its spin-off series Bunk’d (2015–2018).
