Tyler Perry faces a $ 260 million legal reaction from an actor who appeared in the “OVAL” drama and accuses the media pole of sexual sexual harassment, sexual battery and revenge, among other charges.
Perry, actor Derek Dixon, filed a lawsuit against Billionaire Film and television producer in the Los Angeles County Supreme Court on Friday. The actor claims that Perry benefited from his strength and reward for entertainment “to create forced and sexual exploitative dynamic with Mr. Dixon – and initially promised to make job and creative opportunities,” according to the court documents reviewed by the Times. Tyler Perry Studios and Production Company are inserted as a participant speaker.
“This is a person who approached Tyler Perry when it seems more than just preparing a fraud,” Perry’s lawyer, Perry, said in a statement to the Times. “But Tyler will not vibrate while we are confident that these allegations of harassment will fail.”
In his 46 -page complaint, Dixon says he met with “House of Payne” in September 2019 when he was working as employees in a Perry party. The Hyphenate Hotel offered the Dixon opportunity to test for “Robbing” a month after its first meeting. Perry claimed that he “will change [Plaintiff’s] Life “and offered him a small role in the TV series,” preparing the first stage in a series of escalating Quid Quo shows, “as the case claims.
From January 2020 to June 2024, “Perry maintained a pattern of sexual harassment in the workplace, assault and revenge,” as the case claims. Dixon appeared in 85 episodes of the presidential drama of “The OVAL” from 2021 to 2025, according to IMDB.
Dickson Perry was accused of being relentlessly in his sexual life, making suggestive comments and expressing jealousy of his interactions with other men during the duration of their work together. The complaint features multiple screen clips of the alleged conversations between Dixon and the media singer, including the messages in which the director asks, “What will have sex without guilt?” The actor loves a rose, but he says that he is “so prohibited that you refuse to smell [sic] Or open. “
The lawsuit – which raises issues against Harvey WinsteinBill Cosby, Kevin Spacey and other high-level Hollywood characters accused of sexual harassment-also explains multiple occasions as it was claimed that Perry touched the actor. The first was in January 2020 when Dixon stayed tonight in a guest room in Perry’s house in Georgia, and he was claimed that Perry felt “sliding into the bed behind him and started rubbing Dickson around his inner thigh in a very sexual and suggestive way.” Dickson also accuses Perry “violently” holding his throat in March 2020, touching the buttocks in a trailer later that year, withdrawing his underwear and touching the buttocks again in June 2021.
The complaint confirms that Dixon has repeatedly rejected Perry and a secret on a thin line, while maintaining his interactions with professional but friendly Berry enough to stay in a good blessing. He claims that the threat of Perry’s killing of his personality is constantly looming on his “oval” mandate. In addition to Dixon in his series, Perry also expressed interest in helping the actor to develop a show, says the lawsuit.
Dickson distanced himself from Perry after the alleged June 2021 attack, as the lawsuit says, but the “stabilizers” of the producer communicated with a new story about his “oval” personality and raising wages. He also claims that they told Dixon that he could not tell his colleagues about the new privileges.
Perry claimed that Dixon’s question about his sexual life over the years followed, and in March 2024, Dixon’s offer to collapse began. After Perry offered Dickson a place to write in one of his series in June 2024, Dixon “woke up and realized that Perry will not be serious about helping Dixon,” says the lawsuit.
Dixon claims to have reported the alleged sexual harassment of the Equal Opportunities Committee, but the complaint has not been investigated. Dixon left “Oval” and Perry claimed that they criticized Dixon’s news that he could only say that he was taking a medical leave. The lawsuit says: “The defendant made the absence leave unpaid, and therefore ended the plaintiff’s work, causing an additional income and insult to Dixon.”
The lawsuit also includes allegations of harassing the work environment, gender violence in the workplace, sexual assault, neglecting negligence, and deliberate necessity of emotional distress.
