Tyler Perry is facing a $260 million lawsuit from actor Derek Dixon, who claims that Perry used his influence in Hollywood to create a coercive environment. Dixon alleges that, after initially promising career growth, Perry escalated his unwanted sexual advances, including harassment and physical assault. The suit details incidents where Perry purportedly threatened Dixon's professional prospects if he did not acquiesce to his advances. Perry's legal team denies the allegations, asserting that Dixon was attempting to set up a fraudulent situation for personal gain.
Perry's offered career advancement turned coercive, as allegations include sexual harassment and assault alongside professional retaliation when advances were rejected.
The lawsuit suggests Tyler Perry exploited his power in the industry, turning consensual opportunities into a dynamic of coercion and intimidation.
