Bad Boys Star's Closet Confrontation: Restraining Order Filed

When police arrived at an ex-partner’s home on June 1, they found Bad Boys actress Theresa Randle sitting in a closet. This wasn’t a scene from one of her films—it was the catalyst for a restraining order that now has the 61-year-old facing fresh legal trouble.

Dario Pallini, who dated Randle for two years before their 2024 split, filed a petition claiming she’s been harassing him relentlessly. According to the filing, the June 1 incident unfolded when he came home to discover her already inside—alone in his closet with his dog. What started as an unwanted intrusion escalated quickly. When Pallini asked her to leave, Randle allegedly began making incoherent statements and hurled a can of vegetables at his head. Police removed her from the residence, but Pallini says he lives in fear she’ll return.

The June 1 incident wasn’t isolated. Just two weeks earlier, on May 18, Pallini woke to find Randle in his apartment again. He claims she was intoxicated and became aggressive, threatening to shoot him before grabbing a pole from his medical bed and swinging it at his head, striking him in the shoulder before he disarmed her. She was arrested that night as well.

In his restraining order petition, Pallini made a striking observation:“She is addicted to drugs and needs help.”Rather than framing this purely as a legal matter, he presented it as a plea for intervention. Whether Randle receives the support he’s suggesting remains unclear, but a judge has already granted the temporary restraining order with a hearing scheduled for June 23.

This latest case adds to a troubling pattern. Randle was arrested in March on a felony corporal injury charge that was later dropped, and faced assault charges in October 2024—charges the DA declined to prosecute. What’s becoming evident is less about one incident and more about a cycle that seems to demand accountability, treatment, or both.
