Derek Dixon, an actor from the TV show The Oval, is suing Tyler Perry and Tyler Perry Studios for a massive $260 million, alleging sexual harassment and assault. Dixon recently spoke out in an interview with ABC News, where he detailed the first alleged incident. This whole thing has been building since Dixon filed the lawsuit back in June, and now he’s making his claims public.
The lawsuit itself, which was first reported by TMZ when it was filed, mirrors what Dixon told ABC News. It claims that after the alleged incident where Perry got into bed with him and started touching his thighs, Dixon rejected the advances. The lawsuit is seeking a staggering $260 million in damages for quid pro quo, workplace sexual harassment, and sexual assault and battery. The stakes are incredibly high, and it’s clear this is a serious legal battle.
