Sharisse Jackson[1] (born August 31, 1976[2]) is an American actress. She is best known for her portrayal of Niecy Jackson on the UPN sitcom Moesha (1996–2001). She was crowned the winner of MTV reality show Celebrity Rap Superstar in 2007.

Early life

[edit]

Jackson was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Her mother is of mixed African-American and Puerto Rican heritage.[3]

Acting

[edit]

From 1996 to 2001, Jackson played the titular character's best friend, Niecy Jackson, on the UPN TV show Moesha (starring Brandy Norwood). She has also appeared on The Parkers, The Bernie Mac Show, and My So-Called Life. In 1997, Jackson co-starred in the Nickelodeon movie Good Burger alongside Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson. She was also featured on the ABC reality series The Ex-Wives Club with Marla Maples and Angie Everhart. The show aimed to support people who had recently gone through separation or divorce. In 2009, Jackson was cast in the film I Do... I Did!. She also had a role in the 2009 dance-oriented film Steppin: The Movie. Jackson later appeared on the seventh season of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp, which premiered in February 2010.

Music career

[edit]

Jackson was once a member of the short-lived, pop girl group Mpulz. The group's only single, "The Journey", was included on The Princess Diaries soundtrack, which was released shortly before their breakup in 2002.

Personal life

[edit]

In 2004, Jackson was engaged to Kevin Federline, with whom she has a daughter and a son.[4][5] The couple separated shortly before their son's birth, instigated by Federline's relationship with pop singer Britney Spears. Jackson sustained an amicable relationship with Federline, complimenting his parenting.[6] She has two other children, a son and a daughter, with her high-school ex-boyfriend.[7] Jackson is also a grandmother, as her elder daughter Cassalei welcomed a baby girl with actor Christopher Massey in 2015.[8]
