Filmmaker and media mogul Tyler Perry has denied sexual assault allegations made in a $77 million lawsuit, calling the case a “money grab” in a formal response filed in court.
In documents submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Feb. 27, Perry rejected “each and every allegation” brought by Mario Rodriguez and outlined 19 affirmative defences against the claims. The filing states that the lawsuit lacks valid legal grounds and argues that Rodriguez did not suffer any damages related to the accusations.
