Skai Jackson is ‘relieved’ she won’t face charges following her arrest on suspicion of domestic violence at Universal Studios.
The former Disney Channel star’s statement comes after the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office declined to file charges and dropped the case against her.
“Skai is relieved that the investigation has shown that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding,” a Jackson spokesperson said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE on friday.
“We are pleased that the prosecution decided so quickly that no charges of any kind should be filed and Skai looks forward to putting this behind him,” the report said.
Almost a month ago, the 22-year-old actress was arrested on August 8 at Universal Studios CityWalk in Los Angeles, California, after an alleged disagreement with her boyfriend.

“She answers everything except our questions,” one person wrote on social media, while another added: “Girl what happened to you and what happened to you?”

Jackson is best known for her roles in the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and its spinoff Bunk’d, both of which ended in 2018.
Last year, she was ridiculed for “running out of Disney money” after she told her fans to send her $5 to enter a “raffle” to win a MacBook.

Fans laughed at her fundraising, with Jackson emphasizing in a follow-up TikTok post that she “doesn’t need the money” and “doesn’t take it that seriously.”
Skai has previously had run-ins with the law when she filed for a restraining order against rapper Bhad Bhabie (Danielle Bregoli) in early 2020 after she allegedly made threats against Jackson.
However, later that year, the actress had the restraining order lifted after Bregoli checked herself into rehab for past trauma and drug abuse.
Despite her return to social media and the case being dropped, Jackson has yet to publicly comment on her arrest.
