Skai Jackson and her mother, Kiya Cole, came to the former’s baby father, Yerkky Yerkky's defense after a peculiar post made it on his Facebook page. The social media post was quick to spark concern online, as it seemed like the to-be-father was not keen on starting a family with the former Disney star. This comes after The Man in the White Van actress confirmed a day ago that she is expecting her first baby.
On November 12, Yerkky Yerkky’s Facebook page uploaded a post that read:
“On wopp im salty i got this dumb a*s Disney Channel b**ch pregnant I hate this h*e.”
In response, Skai Jackson and Kiya Cole took to Instagram to state that his Facebook page was hacked.
“His page was hacked! He never said this. End of story,” Jackson said.
Meanwhile, Cole said:
“HE NEVER SAID THIS!!!! Stop being messy!!!”
The Facebook post appeared online after 22-year-old Skai Jackson gave an exclusive statement to People magazine.
“Thrilled to begin this new chapter in my life- embracing motherhood and diving into new acting projects. My heart is so full!” she said.

Skai Jackson last made headlines for getting arrested in August
The actress was arrested after she allegedly fought with her unidentified boyfriend at the Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles on August 9. Jackson told law enforcement that her boyfriend and she were engaged and expecting a baby. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said:
“Based on the initial investigation, it was determined Ms Jackson was the primary aggressor and was arrested for misdemeanor spousal battery.”
Days later, the charges against Skai Jackson were dropped by the prosecutors as there was insufficient evidence to hold her accountable in the trial.
The District Attorney’s Office stated that Jackson did not have a criminal record, her boyfriend had not sustained any injuries from the incident, and did not wish to press charges against her.
Authorities have not confirmed the identity of the boyfriend involved in the incident.
