This week, Disney Channel alum Skai Jackson announced her pregnancy, marking an exciting new chapter in her life. However, the celebratory moment has been overshadowed by a swirl of controversy involving her boyfriend and alleged baby daddy, Deondre Burgin, better known as “Yerkky Yerkky.”

Deondre Burgin gained media attention months earlier following a domestic violence incident. Although his identity was hidden then, he created social media buzz as Skai Jackson's baby daddy and possible fiancé.

After Skai Jackson officially announced her pregnancy on Tuesday, Nov. 12, she's now defending her baby's father's reported posts slamming her online. The actress was spotted sporting her baby bump, giving a simple announcement of the news to the world after many speculated she was with-child.
