The Disney channel star, 22 – who was taken into custody after an alleged altercation with her boyfriend last week on August 9 – discussed other topics while filming the live, but notably didn’t discuss the arrest.
In a snippet shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, Jackson could be seen talking about an upcoming television project – but in the comments, fans kept questioning the actress about the arrest.
‘She’s answering every thing except our questions,’ one social media typed out, while another added, ‘Girl what happened you and jail?’
A fan also asked, ‘Why were u locked up,’ while others simply typed out the word ‘jail’ in the comments.

Last week on Friday, Jackson was arrested for domestic battery following an alleged fight with her boyfriend.
Shewas taken into custody at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, California after security guards spotted her in an altercation. The arrest was first reported by TMZ.
Security reportedly detained the couple and called the police after seeing Jackson shove her boyfriend, whose identity is not clear.
Sources told TMZ that the couple denied they physically fought, and claimed they are actually engaged and expecting a baby together.
According to reports, police decided to arrest Jackson and her partner after being shown footage of the alleged altercation.

The security footage allegedly showed the Disney star pushing her partner twice.
Jackson was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery, and was cited before being released hours later.
Charges were not immediately brought against the former child star, and the incident is under investigation by the LA County District Attorney’s Office.
It is unclear who Jackson’s partner is, and the actress is known to be private about her love life and has not shared images of him to her social media.
Dailymail.com has contacted Jackson’s representatives for comment.
Jackson is best known for her roles on Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and spin-off Bunk’d, both of which ended in 2018.
Last year, she was roasted for the ‘Disney money running out’ after she ordered her fans send her $5 to enter a ‘raffle’ to win a MacBook.
Fans mocked her fundraising efforts, leading Jackson to insist in a follow-up TikTok that she ‘doesn’t need the money’ and is ‘not that serious.’

Skai was involved with the law in the past when she filed a restraining order in early 2020 against rapper Bhad Bhabie (Danielle Bregoli) after she allegedly made threats against Jackson’s life.
However, later that same year, the actress dropped the restraining orderafter Bregoli checked herself in to rehab for past traumas and drug abuse.
Despite her recent return to her social media platforms this week, Jackson has yet to publicly comment on the arrest to her fans.
Along with having 22 million followers on TikTok alone, the actress also has nearly 9 million on Instagram.
She previously opened up about her large following on social media during an interview with People last year in February, and admitted that it can be, ‘a lot of pressure.’

‘At the end of the day, I look at myself as the regular person that people just happen to like or enjoy.’
Skai added, ‘It’s very important for me to put out the right message, be positive at all times and give my fans great advice. Let them know that anything that they want to do in life, they can achieve it.’
The star also opened up about advice given by her mother, and expressed, ‘She always taught me to stand up for myself, stand up for what I believe in and fight for what is right.’
‘I thank her for that because without her, I probably wouldn’t have a lot of the confidence that I do now.’
