Actor Tyler Perry is facing serious accusations from Derek Dixon, who has filed a lawsuit against him. Dixon, who acted in Perry’s drama series The Oval, is claiming that Perry sexually harassed and abused him. According to Dixon, Perry allegedly blackmailed him by threatening to remove him from the show unless he gave in to sexual demands.
Tyler Perry, on the other hand, is firmly denying all of this. His lawyer, Matthew Boyd, told the BBC that Dixon’s lawsuit is a setup and called it a “scam.” The lawyer says Dixon only got close to Perry so he could take advantage of him later and try to make money. Perry’s team is confident that these claims are completely made up and will be thrown out.
The case is drawing a lot of attention not just because of the serious nature of the accusations, but also because of Perry’s celebrity status and the fact that Dixon is named directly in the lawsuit.
