Tyler Perry has been accused in a lawsuit filed by actor Derek Dixon of creating a coercive environment that led to sexual harassment and assault. Dixon, who worked on Perry's shows, alleges that while Perry promised career advancements, he was subjected to escalating harassment and retaliated against when he did not comply with Perry's advances. Perry, a major figure in Hollywood, has denied the claims, with his lawyer labeling the lawsuit a shakedown, asserting that Dixon's allegations are fabricated and part of a scam.
The lawsuit alleges that Perry has a troubling pattern of exploiting vulnerable male actors and employees and that like Harvey Weinstein, money and influence can get whatever he wants.
Derek Dixon claims he was subjected to escalating sexual harassment, assault, and battery by Perry, who had direct control over his employment and compensation.
