Disclaimer: I love Keke Palmer as an entertainer. I have nothing, but love for her, however I think she as so many other celebrity scandals should be reminders that we should never idolise famous people and their relationship as we don’t know what’s happening behind closed curtains.
Some of you might have already heard the news about Keke Palmer, but for those who don’t know here’s a short summary: Keke Palmer’s boyfriend ( “baby daddy”) slut shamed her on video in which Usher is serenading her during his concert. She wore a sheer dress to the concert
"It's the outfit tho.. you a mom," he tweeted. "We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.” He later deleted his twitter account after having received backlash and deleted all pictures of him and Keke on his instagram a day after. As of now it is not clear if they have broken up or not. In the following I’ll explain who he is, how they met and Keke’s mindset, and why the relationship is something an FDS aligned women should never ever aspire to have for herself. Please read the Handbook (and send one to Keke too). Who is Darius Jackson?He is a “fitness instructor” based in L.A. His older brother is an actor who starred on the HBO show “Insecure”.
How did Keke and Darius meet?
They met in 2021 at a party hosted by P.Diddy. The cast of “Insecure” was invited, including Keke Palmer, who played a guest role, and Darius’s brother who invited his little brother. According to Keke in an interview she made the first move on him. He didn’t notice her at all or showed hints he was attracted to her prior to her making the first move.
Going public They eventually become “instragram official” and things seem to go well until Darius’ ex girlfriend accuses him of pressuring her of getting an abortion three weeks before he and Keke went instagram offical. She also claimed that she was under the impression that they were together until he and Keke made it official.
Keke’s mindset
Keke has the privilege because of her profession to have access to men which the average woman will have a hard time to access: rich men. Not all rich men are HVM, and Keke knows that too as she has publicly stated that not all rich men are good men and that she isn’t looking for a rich men but prefers a “pretty man”. She said this on the Steve Harvey Show when she revealed that Steve sees her as his niece, and tries to hook her up with rich men ( millionaires and billionaires). His criterias are someone who has ambition and drives and wants to provide for her [is able to maintain her lifestyle as a Hollywood celeb] (Look up Keke Palmer Steve Harvey to see the full conversation).
In another interview ( in 2022) she also explicitly said that to her physical attributes are very important. She likes “pretty boys”.
Not too long before Darius’s online comments, Keke held a speech urging women to solely date guys based on their characters and ignore their finances.
Now since I laid down the facts, it’s time to drag.
Traditional men and “dating for character”
This clown show of a man, to be fair most XYs are parodies of human beings, has not put a ring on her. He talks about not wanting his wife to not misrepresent him in public, however they are not married. He is just a boyfriend. A known sperm donor at best.
I’m not sure how much a fitness instructor in Hollywood makes, but I’m pretty sure that even they can afford buying a ring. We all know that being a fitness instructor and personal coach in Hollywood means you are jobless and mooching off someone, but he couldn’t even mooch off from his brother or friends?
Because a traditional man, like he claims to be, would have proposed and married the woman who is the mother of his children. He would not have made Keke a baby mamma.
Instead this traditional man uploads a video of him filming Keke while twerking, and bragging how much her body has changed “for the better” because of his son.
The only traditional thing about him is being a walking disappointment.
The fact that this man whom no one knew before Keke had a scandal of being accused of not only cheating on his pregnant girlfriend and pressuring her to get an abortion is disgusting. Ladies, if a guy you are seeing has drama with his ex and is accused of having pressured her into aborting a baby and cheating: RUN. Block and delete. This man is not HVM.
A HVM would not be in this situation. Even if he and the ex-girlfriend broke up and no one cheated and she is a liar , a HVM would handle his problems and not let you deal with his ex-drama.
Personally, even if my guy was accused of being a cheater I would run because most of the times the accuser is right! Besides I would get the ick, if the guy I’m seeing ended his relationship before me not even a month.
I love Keke Palmer, the stage persona. I know nothing about her personally, but I disagree with her and her assumption that women should fund their male partners' lives as only character counts. Simply because women surpassing men’s income does not excuse them for living the “the soft live”.
Of course character matters, but how many women do we see settle for a guy and she has to work blood, sweat and tears at her job, as a homemaker etc. for the guy to be ungrateful? Too many.
Of course not every woman will be with a millionaire, but a HVW should be with someone who has his own money and can and wants to take care of her ( whether she wants to stay at home or continue working).
A man bringing income to the relationship is bare minimum. Look at Keke. She birthed a child and is working and spoiling her NEET. I mean traditional man…. I’m sorry, I meant stay at home boyfriend :)
Keke should have found someone who is in the same tax bracket as her or someone or someone who can take care of himself financially.
Not all HVM are rich. A HVM is subjective to you, someone who adds to your life, but there’s a general consensus to what a HVM is and Keke’s baby daddy is not one.
He is a LVM. She shared in the past that she was afraid that she could never experience motherhood because of her PCOS. So his sperm gave her some value, but she could have simply gone to a sperm bank.
If they split and they have joint-custody over their son, he can file for child support since she is the breadwinner. For 18 years, she would have to pay if they split up and he wants money.
What’s the bigger problem having a known sperm donor, who harrasses you online or an unknown sperm donor?
Please, read the handbook. Do not make the mistake Keke did. Please, I’m tired.
"The only traditional thing about him is being a walking disappointment. " This made me lol 🤣 Love Keke the performer. But yeah.. she has some things yet to learn...
Keke's net worth is 7 times more than Darius's.
Biting the hand that feeds him
Die Broke Scrote
Here's her ex already messaging other women.
As a black woman, I adored Keke Palmer. But Keke also had a problematic history of supporting colorist people. And that she chose a man who had past tweets of being misogynistic, homophobic, and transphobic.
I also remembered that Keke mentioned having an abortion in the past. Probably when getting pregnant after a PCOS diagnosis, she presumed that this was her only chance of getting pregnant (even though women with riches of her own would have the resources to get pregnant at an easier rate). So she decided to keep it.
I am sad that she has to share her son with a man like that and she has to deal with his BS. It is also sad that Keke reduced her chances of leveling up with someone else because of her baby daddy's character.
I'm glad that most of the internet (except for dusties and pick mes) are defending Keke and disparaging Darius. I hope this is a wake up call for Keke and she does a ironclad NDA with Darius going forward and is able to get sole custody of her son.
This woman is so successful and appears so classy. I don’t know what she saw in that dude. Either he manipulated her, she has low self esteem, and/ or she may have some negative personality traits that are hidden from the public eye that attract her to this sort of man. Whatever the situation, he is low value and she is high value.
I dont really know Keke but from what ive seen she seems to be a smart, confident, classy woman who takes no shit from anyone so this is whole thing has shocked me that she choose that trash of a man. If she vetted she could have saved herself a whole lotta trouble, literlay all she had to do was take one look at that mans twitter likes and she would have knew he was trash, bc it was filled with nothing but misogyny. Like it was that simple.
I can see how she may have thought that since she has her own money, she can focus on dating a man that she finds physically attractive (which is easier said than done, since many American men seem averse to working on their appearance or even personal hygeine). Unfortunately, a rich women who is willing to "date down" often attracts gold diggers and controlling men who would resent her success.
She may thought that she would be able to maintain the upper hand in the relationship since she pursued him, and he's relatively unknown outside of his relationship with her, but unfortunately, what men lack in money and marketable skills, they more than make up for in audacity.
