DeSean Jackson Seeks Sole Custody Amid Ex’s Alleged Cult Involvement

In a recent turn of events, NFL star DeSean Jackson has taken legal steps to obtain sole custody of his two sons, DeSean Jackson Jr., age 8, and Jace Jackson, age 5, amid claims that his ex-partner, Kayla Phillips, has abandoned their children and is exhibiting behavior influenced by her alleged involvement in a cult-like religious group known as “The Most High.” The legal documents, which were obtained by The Blast, reveal Jackson’s concern over Phillips’ erratic behavior and the potential impact on their children’s well-being.

DeSean Jackson, who shared a three-year cohabitation with Phillips in Florida, has raised serious allegations about Phillips’ commitment to their children and her mental state since their separation in 2020. Jackson claims that after he moved back to California, he encountered difficulties coordinating with Phillips regarding the children’s return from a visit to Florida in February 2023. According to Jackson, after losing contact with Phillips, he made the decision to enroll the children in school in Los Angeles, where they have since resided with him.

The situation escalated when Jackson alleged that Phillips has only seen their children twice in the year since they started living with him full-time. Further complicating matters, Jackson accuses Phillips of engaging in a relationship with a man he describes as exhibiting “cult-like behavior” and claims Phillips herself has become deeply involved with “The Most High.” This group, according to Jackson, has had a profound and concerning influence on Phillips, as evidenced by her social media activity and public statements declaring the group’s members as “WOKE” in contrast to others.

Jackson’s filings paint a picture of Phillips as being “brainwashed” by the doctrines of “The Most High,” leading her to live a lifestyle that Jackson deems neglectful of their children’s needs. He expresses fears over the unpredictable behavior Phillips might display due to her alleged cult involvement, prompting him to request the court for supervised visitation rights for Phillips and the filing of Child Abduction Prevention Orders.

In his plea for sole physical and legal custody, Jackson emphasizes the stable, loving, and structured home environment he provides, highlighting his role as a positive influence on his children. He argues that Phillips’ current state of mind, allegedly compromised by her association with “The Most High,” renders her incapable of making sound decisions for their children’s welfare.

The legal request underscores Jackson’s dedication to ensuring his children’s safety and maintaining their happiness and stability, especially in light of the unsettling circumstances brought forth by Phillips’ purported actions and affiliations. As of now, Phillips has not publicly responded to the allegations made against her, leaving the situation unresolved and the children’s future in the balance.
