Los Angeles, CA – The entertainment world is on fire after bombshell allegations were made against media mogul Tyler Perry, accusing him of sexual harassment, assault, and gender-based workplace violence. The lawsuit, filed by actor Derek Dixon, demands a staggering $260 million in damages, claiming Perry used his power and influence to create a “coercive, sexually exploitative environment.”

Dixon, who appeared in Perry’s shows Ruthless and The Oval, says he was lured in with promises of career advancement, only to be met with escalating sexual misconduct and manipulation. He alleges Perry controlled his employment, pay, and creative future—and retaliated when he refused Perry’s advances.

The most disturbing details come from a night at Perry’s home, where Dixon claims he was assaulted after being invited over under friendly pretenses. The actor states he awoke to Perry rubbing his inner thigh in a “highly sexual and suggestive manner.”

Perry Fires Back: "This Is a Shakedown"

In response, Perry and his legal team have completely denied the accusations. Attorney Matthew Boyd called the lawsuit a scam: “This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam... Tyler will not be shaken down.”

But the lawsuit goes further—placing Perry’s name alongside disgraced figures like Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, and Diddy, suggesting he too used fame and fortune to manipulate vulnerable actors desperate for a break.

🔥 Social Media on Fire

The internet is ablaze with reactions. Some are shocked and outraged, demanding justice. Others are skeptical, accusing Dixon of clout-chasing. The case has reignited debates about power, abuse, and accountability in Hollywood.

Is this just another headline-grabbing lawsuit? Or is it the beginning of a deeper unraveling inside Perry’s billion-dollar empire?

One thing is certain: Hollywood is watching closely.
