Keke Palmer’s boyfriend and father of her newborn is facing backlash after he criticized her on social media for wearing a see-through dress to an Usher concert.
Palmer, who welcomed a baby with Darius Jackson earlier this year, she donned a sheer dotted dress with a jumpsuit underneath at Usher’s Las Vegas residency on Wednesday, where the singer serenaded her with his hit «There Goes My Baby.»
Jackson shared a video clip of Palmer and Usher hugging while he sang to her on Twitter, writing, «It’s the outfit though… you’re a mom.»
His tweet quickly sparked outrage online with many calling out Jackson for shaming Palmer’s clothes and doing it publicly.
Yet despite the frenzy of condemning tweets, Jackson doubled down.
«We live in a generation where a family man doesn’t want his wife and the mother of his children to show their buttocks to please others and tell him how much they hate him,» he said.
“This is my family and my representation. I have norms and morals in what I believe. I rest my case,” she added.
Your account has been deleted as of Thursday morning, but screenshots of his tweets have circulated on Twitter.
The tweets were met with an outpouring of outrage.
«Don’t mess with a bad guy if you can’t with a bad guy», one Twitter user wrote.
«The problem is you’re having this discussion on the internet, you’re just embarrassing her for no reason, if you have a problem bring it up with her and only her.» another addition.
«Imagine your girlfriend is KEKE PALMER and you have the audacity to publicly shame her on social media.» a social media user saying.
a netizen Palmer said he «deserves better than an insecure man who would not only say this publicly but also think[s] this way generally.»
«He stole her moment where she actually looked so happy and I hate him.» another said.
NBC News has reached out to Palmer’s representatives for comment.
Palmer didn’t seem bothered by the controversy, sharing photos Wednesday night of her time at the concert on Instagram.
«I wish I had taken more photos, but we were late!» she captioned the photo, posing in the dress.
«I’m telling you right now, if you haven’t seen @usher YOU MUST GO! HE WAS SO FABULOUS! Giving theatrics, Atlanta downnn, tips and tricks and absolutely iconic. He was truly inspired as an artist,» she added.
Usher commented, «The Big Boss!! Thanks for coming.»
