The former costars share a daughter, 5-year-oldZen Jackson. Sarunas is the older brother ofDarius Jackson, who shares a son with actressKeke Palmer. TheNOPEactress recently accused Darius of domestic violence in a Nov. 9 TRO request.
On Sept. 21, Perry, 35, filed a petition to determine parental relationship, which Jackson opposed in a Nov. 16 filing.

“Sarunas and I were never in a romantic relationship,” Perry said in her reply declaration on Tuesday.

According to the petition, Zen, who was 22 months at the time, approached her parents and began crying. Perry alleged that he released her from his grasp in order to console their child.
“He was so angry that he had blood coming from his mouth where he bit his tongue," Perry alleged.

“A few weeks later he showed up to my residence with scratches all over his neck and face. 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 alleged.
In Jackson’s Nov. 16 declaration, he echoed Perry’s claims that they were not romantically involved at any point. “Perry and I were never in a romantic relationship, but we were friends and co-workers.”
“It is unclear where Respondent’s allegations of emotional volatility and intimidation are coming from," his declaration reads. “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, 33, alleged that Perry’s actions “have made me fear for repercussions in my career.” He added that he is also concerned about “the looming threat that she would request court-ordered child support for greater than the amount that we have agreed to.”
