Jackson’s partner remains unknown as the actress is known for keeping her love life private and has not posted any images of him on her social media pages.

Despite this not being Jackson’s first encounter with the law, she had previously taken legal action by filing a restraining order against rapper Bhad Bhabie, also known as Danielle Bregoli, due to death threats made against her in 2020.

The actress, whose new film The Man in the White Van is set to be released in October, obtained a restraining order against Bregoli when she was 16 years old in Los Angeles. The actress stated that she was afraid to leave her home at the time due to direct threats made by the rapper.

Despite the threats made against her, she had not been able to sleep and believed Bregoli to be mentally unstable. However, Jackson ultimately decided to drop the restraining order against Bregoli.

Jackson gained recognition for portraying Zuri Ross on the popular Disney Channel sitcom Jessie, alongside Debbie Ryan. She later revisited the character in the spin-off series Bunk’d.
