Fresh details have surfaced in the high-profile sexual assault lawsuit against Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry after newly revealed text messages showed his accuser remained in contact with the filmmaker years after the alleged abuse ended.
According to screenshots reviewed by The Associated Press, actor Mario Rodriguez, who filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Perry last week, sent messages expressing gratitude, friendship and financial distress as recently as Thanksgiving 2024 and August 31, 2025, despite claiming in court filings that he cut off contact in 2019.
