Skai Jackson’s Baby Daddy, Deondre Burgin, Faces Backlash and Legal Issues
Former Disney star Skai Jackson‘s boyfriend and alleged baby daddy, Deondre Burgin, who goes by the social media name Yerkky Yerkky, has been at the center of controversy and legal troubles recently. Burgin made headlines after a Facebook Live video where he dissed the late Disney actor Cameron Boyce, with whom Skai Jackson had a close friendship during their time on the Disney Channel show *Jessie*.[2][3]
The video sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many users expressing their disappointment and anger towards Burgin for disrespecting Boyce, who passed away in July 2019 due to complications from epilepsy. Skai Jackson and Cameron Boyce had a strong bond, both on-screen and off-screen, which made Burgin’s comments particularly hurtful to fans.[2]
In addition to the social media backlash, Burgin was recently arrested in Cincinnati, Ohio, for a juvenile parole violation. According to reports, Burgin attempted to flee from police and suffered a minor injury during the encounter. He was cited for misdemeanor obstruction of official business and later released.[5]
This incident follows another controversy where a message was posted on Burgin’s Facebook account, allegedly calling Skai Jackson a “dumb a** Disney Chanel b***h” and expressing hatred towards her. However, Skai Jackson and her mother, Kiya Cole, defended Burgin by claiming that his account had been hacked.[2][5]
Skai Jackson’s pregnancy was first announced in August, coinciding with her arrest for an alleged domestic violence incident involving Burgin. However, the charges were later dropped, and Jackson’s representative stated that the incident was a misunderstanding.[3][5]
