Tyler Perry accussed of sexual assault
Award-winning filmmaker Tyler Perry is facing serious legal trouble after actor Derek Dixon filed a massive lawsuit against him, demanding $260 million (approximately R4 billion).
Dixon, known for his roles in Perry’s hit shows Ruthless and The Oval, has accused the Hollywood mogul of sexual harassment, assault, and retaliation.
According to People Magazine, the actor alleges that the two met in September 2019 before Dixon joined the cast of Perry’s shows.
In the lawsuit, Dixon claims that Perry created “a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic” during their working relationship, allegations that have since sent shockwaves across social media.
As the news spread, alleged messages between the two surfaced online and quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking heated conversations and mixed reactions from fans.
Tyler Perry, who has long remained private about his personal life, has yet to publicly respond to the claims.
The controversy continues to build momentum online, with many waiting to see how the legal battle unfolds.
