For “sexual assault, harassment and work retaliation” accused the American actor, director, producer and playwright Tyler by an actor he played in the series ‘Ruthless’ and ‘The oval’.

According to the lawsuit filed by Derek Nixon last Friday in Los Angeles the producer “He initially promised him professional development and creative opportunities, such as the production of the pilot incident and his choice in his order, just to submit him to escalating sexual harassment, attack and violence, as well as professional retaliation when he did not respond to his adverse references.”

Dixon claimed that the two met when he worked at a party for Perry’s studio. The actor claimed that Perry “He chose Dixon from a multitude of officials who were present at the party and began asking him questions about his working situation and asked to find out if he was an actor.”

Elsewhere he claims that Perry attacked him at home in January 2020, before he offers the role in the series “Ruthless”. The role, which would extend a permanent role in The Oval series, was jeopardized by Perry, according to the deposition, which states: “Mr Perry made it clear to Dixon that if he ignored him or not dealing with sexually implications, Dixon’s character would” die “next season.”

Dixon claims that these experiences left him with “Symptoms of Stress, Insomnial, Stomach problems and dangerously low cortisol levels due to sexual harassment and attack” for which he was prescribed an antidepressant.

In a statement to People, Perry’s lawyer Matthew Boyd replied: “He is a person who came close to Tyler Perry to set up a fraud.” “But Tyler will not be overwhelmed and we are sure that these constructed allegations of harassment will fail.”he said.

Tyler Perry from a homeless playwright became one of the most productive directors of Hollywood, media tycoon and head of film studio. In 2011, according to Forbes, he was the most expensive man in the entertainment industry.

He owns the Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, a large installation of cinematic and television producers used to shoot Hollywood’s successful films, including the Black Panther film and has production collaboration with Opra Winfrey’s OWN network.
