...entertainment mogul of sexual harassment, assault and retaliation
https://people.com/tyler-perry-sued-...tions-11756552 Dixon, who stars as Dale on Perry's White House-set BET series, filed suit Friday in Los Angeles, accusing Perry of creating "a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic" between them while he was starring on the filmmaker's shows The Oval and Ruthless, on which Dixon starred as a character named Dale. The complaint accused Perry of "initially promising him career advancement and creative opportunities, such as producing his pilot and casting him in his show, only to subject him to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation when Mr. Dixon did not reciprocate Mr. Perry's unwanted advances." Matthew Boyd, Perry's attorney, responded in a statement: "This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail." |
