Charges Dropped, Jackson's Rep Confirms Misunderstanding

A representative for Jackson confirmed to PEOPLE that the entire situation was a misunderstanding, and the District Attorney quickly decided against pressing any charges. "Skai is relieved that the investigation revealed that this was nothing more than a misunderstanding. We appreciate that the DA determined very quickly that there should be no charges of any kind and Skai looks forward to putting this behind her," the rep said.

Jackson, who rose to fame on Jessie and later appeared on Dancing With the Stars in 2020, has been keeping a relatively low profile since the incident.
