Actress Theresa Randle, best known for her roles in the 1995 action‑comedy Bad Boys and Spike Lee’s Malcolm X, is once again at the center of a legal dispute. This time, a petition filed by her former boyfriend, Dario Pallini, alleges that Randle broke into his home on two separate occasions, threatened him with violence, and engaged in drug‑related behavior. A judge has granted a temporary restraining order, and a hearing is set for June 23.
Career Highlights and Recent Legal Encounters
Theresa Randle’s acting career spans three decades, with notable credits that include the crime drama Malcolm X (1992), the thriller Bad Boys (1995), and a supporting role in the television series How I Met Your Mother. While her on‑screen work has earned her a dedicated fan base, her off‑screen life has been marked by a series of legal brushes that have attracted media attention.
Randle’s recent legal history includes two high‑profile incidents:
- March 1, 2024: She was booked on a felony corporal injury charge. The charge was later dismissed, and no conviction resulted.
- October 2024: She faced assault charges after an alleged domestic‑violence incident. The district attorney’s office ultimately decided not to pursue the case.
These prior encounters set the stage for the latest allegations, which revolve around her relationship with Pallini.
Allegations from Ex‑Partner Dario Pallini
Dario Pallini, who says he dated Randle for roughly two years before their split in early 2024, filed a petition that outlines two distinct episodes in which he claims Randle entered his residence without permission. According to the filing, the first incident occurred on May 18, when Pallini awoke to find Randle inside his apartment. He described her as “high” and noted that she began cleaning his home while demanding that he owed her money. Pallini alleges that she threatened to shoot him and then seized a pole attached to his medical bed, swinging it toward his head. The pole reportedly struck his shoulder before he could wrest it away, and police were called later that night, resulting in Randle’s arrest.
The second alleged intrusion took place on June 1. Pallini says he returned home to discover Randle sitting in his closet with his dog, allegedly smoking crack. He recounts that she was surprised to see him, claimed she thought he was incarcerated, and responded with a series of incoherent statements, including a profanity‑laden insult that referenced “Aryan” heritage. When Pallini told her to leave, Randle allegedly threw a can of vegetables at him, striking his head. Pallini says he again called the police, who escorted her from the premises.
Both incidents, as described in the petition, are framed by Pallini as
