Sarunas
Jackson
is
denying
that
he’s
missing
in
action
from
fatherhood
as
he
continues
a
fight
for
joint
legal
custody
of
the
daughter
he
shares
with
his
former
Insecure
castmate,
DomiNque
Perry.
Not
only
that,
but
he’s
alleging
that
the
actress,
who
he
likened
to
a
co-worker,
defamed
his
character
to
Hollywood
peers.
DomiNque
recently
claimed
that
Sarunas
is
an
“absent
father”
but
in
court
documents
obtained
by
Radar
Online,
the
33-year-old
rejected
the
accusation
and
fought
her
plan
to
relocate
their
child
to
Texas.
Jackson
filed
a
“Petition
to
Determine
Parental
Relationship”
against
Perry
in
the
Los
Angeles
Superior
Court
in
September.
In
the
documents,
Sarunas
explained
that
he
shares
a
5-year-old
named
Zen
with
the
actress
and
is
seeking
joint
legal
and
physical
custody
of
the
baby
girl.
He
stated
that
their
child
has
lived
on
the
West
Coast
since
she
was
born
and
has
established
“roots
here
in
Los
Angeles.”
However,
the
mother
of
his
child
is
a
Texas
native
and
explained
that
she
only
lives
in
the
City
of
Angels
to
further
her
career.
The
35-year-old
stated
the
writers’
strike
and
rising
rent
prices
are
the
catalyst
for
her
Cali
exit.

The
Get
Hard
actress
stated
her
BD
didn’t
reject
the
idea
of
the
Texas
move
when
they
spoke,
but
latter filed
his
custody
petition
without
informing
her.
As
a
result,
the
court
ruled
she
could
not
move
the
child
until
the
outcome
of
the
case.
DomiNque
demanded
the
voice
actor’s
petition
be
denied
and
detailed
the
duress
she
has
been
under
as
she
has
attempted
to
co-parent.
Radar
reports
that
the
actress
stated,
“Despite
the
emotional
volatility
and
intimidation
that
[Sarunas]
has
directed
towards
me,”
she
has
remained
dedicated
to
“fostering
a
positive
co-parenting
relationship
with
[Sarunas]
because
I
know
that
is
in
Zen’s
best
interest.”
By
contrast,
Sarunas
claimed
that
he
doesn’t
understand
why
Dominique
would
feel
intimidated
and
stated
their
relationship
was
never
“romantic”
in
a
newly
filed
declaration.
“We
were
friends
and
co-workers,”
Jackson
claimed
per
Radar
Online.
“It
is
unclear
where
[DomiNque’s]
allegations
of
emotional
volatility
and
intimidation
are
coming
from.
My
family
and
I
have
always
welcomed
[DomiNque]
with
open
arms,
inviting
her
to
family
events
and
showing
her
love
and
support
in
more
ways
than
one.”

“[DomiNque]
has
defamed
my
character
to
others,
making
them
believe
I
am
an
absent
father.
Her
negative
communications
with
others,
including
to
peers
in
our
industry,
regarding
her
opinions
of
me
have
made
me
fear
for
repercussions
in
my
career.”
Sarunas
added,
“To
top
it
off,
[DomiNque]
often
intimidates
me
with
the
looming
threat
she
would
request
court-ordered
child
support
for
greater
than
the
amount
we
have
agreed
to.
Nonetheless,
I
have
gone
the
extra
mile
to
make
[DomiNque]
happy
by
agreeing
with
and
compromising
to
various
requests
made
by
her
to
appease
me.”
A
judge
has
yet
to
rule
on
the
case.
As
previously
reported,
Sarunas’
brother
Darius
Jackson
is
undergoing
a
public
battle
with
the
mother
of
his
son,
Keke
Palmer,
after
she
accused
the
trainer
of
abuse
and
filed
a
restraining
order.

She
was
granted
a
temporary
restraining
order
and
Jackson
cannot
come
within
100
yards
of
her
and
their
son,
Leodis.
We
need
these
beige
brothers
to
do
better.
