Derek Dixon has filed a shocking $260 million lawsuit against Tyler Perry, accusing him of sexual assault, harassment, and professional retaliation. Dixon claims Perry created a coercive and sexually exploitative environment on the sets of The Oval and Ruthless, where Dixon portrayed a character named Dale. The lawsuit details alleged unwanted advances, sexually charged messages, and an incident in 2021 involving groping. Dixon alleges he stayed silent out of fear but eventually reported the abuse to authorities.
