Actor Sarunas J. Jackson faces mental and physical abuse claims by Insecure star DomiNque Perry in a move that mirrors similar accusations Keke Palmer made against his brother.

The court case is riddled with nasty claims that Jackson was volatile. Perry said she experienced “intimidation, bullying, undeserved stress, mental and physical abuse, controlling and narcissistic behavior, all over the past five plus years from Sarunas and his family.”

Jackson is the brother of Darius Jackson who fathers a now eight-month-old child with actress Keke Palmer who recently made serious declarations of abuse in a restraining order. Palmer was temporarily granted sole custody of their son Leo.

Palmer also shocked social media when photos surfaced of Darius seemingly putting hands on her. The prolific actress’ mother Sharon also entered the fray and cursed Darius out about his alleged abuse.
In a video that surfaced on social media, Sharon accused Sarunas of turning a blind eye when she approached him about Darius’ treatment Keke. Darius has denied any abuse claims.

Perry Admits to Having a One-Night Stand

Perry says in court docs, that she and Sarunas were never an item. She said it was a one-off love affair resulting in a baby.

The Rap Sh!t actress said his family’s disapproval caused her concern.
“I was always nervous because I felt that I wasn’t ever good enough by [Sarunas] and the family.”
Perry outlined a series of abusive claims. In 2020, she says 33-year-old Sarunas “became more angry and grabbed me by the throat and started choking me.”

She said in front of their then two-year-old daughter who is autistic, Sarunas became “so angry that he had blood coming from his mouth where he bit his tongue.”

According to Perry, Sarunas even got into fisticuffs with his mom. She claims he showed up at her home with multiple scratches on his face and neck, saying that “he cornered his mom and they were fighting.”
“The choking on his behalf is the norm. He is violent with women,” she continued according to reports.

Sarunas has denied the claims, telling the court: “My family and I have always welcomed [Perry] with open arms, inviting her to family events and showing her love and support in more ways than one. In return, [Perry] has defamed my character to others, making them believe I am an absent father.”
