Tyler Perry accuser Derek Dixon speaks out after sexual assault claims in bombshell $260m lawsuit


An actor who has accused entertainment mogul Tyler Perry of s exually harassing and assaulting him in a bombshell $260million lawsuit has broken his silence.

In the legal complaint, Dixon said that Perry looked to establish 'a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic' between them when he worked on the set of The Oval and Ruthless, portraying a character by the name of Dale. In the legal complaint, the actor said that the entertainment magnate began to aggressively grope his buttocks 'in a sexual motion,' which also had allegedly happened during an October 2020 Bahamas trip with the cast. Dixon said that a doctor's visit in late 2020 'indicated that [he] exhibited severe symptoms of acute stress, insomnia, stomach issues, and dangerously low cortisol levels due to the sexual harassment and assault.'
