Insecure star
DomiNque
Perry has
accused
her
former
co-star
and
co-parent,
Sarunas
J.
Jackson,
of
abuse
inside
an
explosive
declaration
filed
in
California
Superior
Court
Nov.
28,
according
to
court
documents
obtained
by
People. The
complaint
was
filed
two
weeks
after
the
actress
alluded
to
being
a
victim
of
abuse
on
social
media.
According
the
petition
filed
Tuesday,
Perry
alleged
that
she “experienced
emotional
volatility,”
“intimidation”
and
“bullying”
from
Jackson
and
members
of
his
family
over
the
past
five
years.
The
actress,
who
starred
as
Tasha
on
Insecure,
also
claimed
that
she
endured
“undeserved
stress”
as
well
as
“mental
and
physical
abuse”
due
to
Jackson
and
his
relatives’
“controlling
and
narcissistic
behavior.”

Perry,
who
shares
a
5-year-old
daughter
named
Zen
with
the
Games
People
Play
star,
maintained
that
she
was
never
romantically
involved
with
the
actor. Inside
her
petition,
the
Get
Hard
actress
claimed
that
Jackson
has
constantly
“blamed”
her
for
their
daughter
being
“on
the
Autism
Spectrum.”
“I
was
always
nervous
because
I
felt
that
I
wasn’t
ever
good
enough
by
the
Petitioner
and
the
family,”
the
complaint
added,
according
to
People.
Perry
claimed
that
Jackson
choked
her
during
a
“heated”
conversation
in
March
2020.
According
to
the
filing,
in
March
2020,
Perry
alleged
that
Jackson
choked
her
after
they
had
a
“heated”
conversation
about
“a
person
in
the
industry,”
Radar
Online
noted.
As
their
conversation
became
hostile,
the
star
alleged
that
the
33-year-old
actor
“began
to
repeatedly
call
her
“stupid”
and
allegedly
said,
“you
talk
to
your
mother
like
that,
not
me.”
When
tensions
flared,
Jackson
allegedly
“became
more
angry
and
grabbed”
Perry
by
the
throat
and
started
“choking”
her.
During
the
heated
dispute,
Zen
came
out
of
her
room
and
began
to
cry.
Perry
claimed
that
Jackson
let
her
neck
go
once
their
daughter
entered
the
room. “He
was
so
angry
that
he
had
blood
coming
from
his
mouth
where
he
bit
his
tongue,”
the
declaration
stated.
Jackson
allegedly
returned
to
Perry’s
residence
“a
few
weeks
later”
with
“scratches
all
over
his
neck
and
face,”
according
to
the
filing. “I
asked
what
happened
and
he
stated
‘he
cornered
his
mom
and
they
were
fighting.’
The
choking
on
his
behalf
is
the
norm.
He
is
violent
with
women,”
Perry,
who
is
also
embroiled
in
a
heated
custody
battle
with
Jackson,
alleged.
In
his
response
declaration
filed
Nov.
16,
Jackson
vehemently
denied
Perry’s
claims
of
abuse.
“It
is
unclear
where
Respondent’s
allegations
of
emotional
volatility
and
intimidation
are
coming
from,”
his
declaration
stated.
“My
family
and
I
have
always
welcomed
Respondent
with
open
arms,
inviting
her
to
family
events
and
showing
her
love
and
support
in
more
ways
than
one.
In
return,
Respondent
has
defamed
my
character
to
others,
making
them
believe
I
am
an
absent
father.”
Jackson
penned
that
he
worried
Perry’s
allegations
would
result
in
“repercussions”
for
his
acting
career.
The
complaint
comes
just
a
few
weeks
after
Keke
Palmer
was
granted
a
temporary
restraining
order
against
Darius
Jackson,
Sarunas’
younger
brother.
As
previously
reported,
Palmer,
30,
was
granted a
domestic
violence
restraining
order
against
Darius
Jackson — the
father
of
her
8-month-old
son,
Leodis.
The
Nope
star
alleged
that
Darius
assaulted
her
on
more
than
one
occasion.
During
one
heated
dispute,
Palmer
alleged
that
Darius
“lunged”
at
her
neck
and
“physically
attacked”
her
after
he
“trespassed”
into
her
home.
Under
the
order,
Darius
must
stay
100
yards
away
from
Palmer
and
their
son
until
further
notice.
Perry
posted
a
meme
of
Michael
Jackson
eating
popcorn
shortly
after
Keke
Palmer’s
mother,
Sharon,
put
the
brothers
on
blast
for
their
alleged
abusive
behavior.
Some
netizens
pondered
whether
she
was
making
fun
of
Palmer’s
situation,
but
the
actress
clarified
her
intention
in
a
statement
posted
to
Instagram
Nov.
10.
“There
was
a
repost
of
a
post
I
made
on
yesterday.
(There’s
situations
where
you
laugh
to
keep
from
crying.)
Let
me
give
clarity.
I
would
never
laugh
at
ANYONE
that
is
subject
to
domestic
abuse,
female
or
male.
As
it’s
known
abuse
comes
in
different
definitions,
silent
and
physical,”
she
wrote,
hinting
that
she
was
also
a
victim
of
abuse.
“Only
the
people
enduring
such
behavior
truly
understand
the
effect.
Women
have
been
manipulated,
abused,
lied
on
for
centuries,
and
put
their
head
down
for
fear
of
not
being
believed.
We
need
to
stop
being
afraid.”
Perry
added:
“I
may
not
be
at
the
highest
platform
in
my
career
just
yet
to
be
heard
and/or
supported
by
the
public,
but
whenever
that
time
comes,
everyone
will
listen.
God
is
in
control
of
my
steps
and
I’ll
respond
accordingly.
I
will
be
vindicated
in
his
timing.”
