On Saturday, the ex-boyfriend of “The Color Purple” actress Joaquina Kalukango was arrested near her theater after he allegedly threatened to kill her on social media.

28-year-old Christopher Horton allegedly threatened her on Facebook and in text messages with taunts like “she’ll feel it soon and you all will regret what you did,” “The main event is coming just be patient,” “Somebody’s going to die,” and “Pay for security.”

That afternoon, he showed up at the Bernard Jacobs Theater and allegedly had an eight-inch knife with him.

He was arrested and charged with aggravated harassment and criminal possession of a weapon.
