Actor Sarunas Jackson Seeks Restraining Orders Against Keke Palmer and Her Mother

Screen Shot 2024 01 23 at 7.42.45 PM

Sarunas Jackson, known for his role in HBO’s “Insecure” and brother of KeKe Palmer’s ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, has filed for restraining orders against the actress and her mother, Sharon Palmer. This legal action brings a new development in the ongoing dispute involving Keke Palmer, her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, and now his family.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Sarunas Jackson has accused Keke Palmer and her mother of harassment, leading him to request temporary restraining orders for protection. The request extends not just to himself, but also to his parents and his brother — although notably, not including Darius.

In the filing, Sarunas alleges that Keke Palmer made false claims against him. He states, “She has made foul claims that I have sexual abuse claims on me when I do not. I have never done such a thing. She has gone to the media & has used her celebrity to publicly lie on my family and myself, which has resulted in death threats by the public.” He claims to possess emails that support his allegations of false claims made by Keke, which have led to disturbing incidents, including strangers banging on their door.

Sarunas also accuses Keke Palmer of stalking and harassing his friends and family on social media, causing career damage, and attempting to lure people close to him into a web of lies. He is seeking a court order to keep Keke Palmer at least 150 yards away from himself, his family, his home, and his workplace, and to prevent her from speaking publicly or privately about him or his family.

In addition to the allegations against Keke Palmer, Sarunas Jackson has also filed a restraining order against her mother, Sharon Palmer. He claims that Sharon has made threats involving shooting and rape against his family, and that he has audio recordings to substantiate these allegations. Sarunas states, “She threatened to put a bullet in my brother’s head and said to me and my family, ‘We don’t know who we are dealing with.’ She also threatened to have us raped.” He seeks similar restraining conditions against Sharon Palmer as those requested against Keke.

This legal action follows a month after Darius Jackson, Sarunas’ brother, filed a request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Keke Palmer, alleging that she was the “primary aggressor” in their relationship.

The situation has now been placed in the hands of an L.A. County Court judge, who will determine the outcome of these restraining order requests.
