Actress Theresa Randle, best known for playing in the ‘Bad Boys’ movies, has found herself in the middle of another headline-grabbing controversy. And this one sounds less like a Hollywood drama and more like a script that would get rejected for being too ridiculous.
According to court documents, Randle’s ex-boyfriend, Dario Pallini, recently obtained a temporary restraining order against the actress. The allegations he made are raising plenty of eyebrows.
Pallini claims that Randle has been showing up at his home uninvited and engaging in behavior that left him concerned for his safety. But the allegation that has everyone talking involves an encounter that sounds straight out of a bizarre reality TV episode.
According to Pallini, he came home and found Randle sitting inside one of his closets. Not only was she hanging out in the closet, but she was accompanied by his dog and smoking crack cocaine.
The allegations don’t stop there. Pallini claims that when he demanded she leave the property, Randle became agitated and began making incoherent statements. According to the petition, the confrontation escalated when she allegedly threw a can of vegetables that struck him in the head after he threatened to contact the police. Officers were ultimately called to the scene, and Pallini claims Randle was removed from the property.
Randle became a familiar face throughout the 1990s thanks to standout performances in Malcolm X, Beverly Hills Cop III, Space Jam, and the hugely successful Bad Boys franchise alongside Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. She later reprised the role in Bad Boys II and Bad Boys for Life before being replaced by Tasha Smith in the franchise’s fourth installment.
The restraining-order filing also references an earlier alleged incident on May 18. Pallini claims he woke up to find Randle inside his apartment and believed she was under the influence because she immediately began cleaning his home while insisting he owed her money.
He further alleges she threatened to shoot him before swinging a metal pole from his medical bed, striking him in the shoulder. According to the filing, that encounter resulted in Randle’s arrest.
As the legal process moves forward, more details will likely emerge. Until then, the public is left trying to separate fact from allegation.
