Headline: Tyler Perry accused of sexual harassment in $260 million lawsuit
Caption: In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles last week, actor Derek Dixon accused the media mogul of creating a "coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic" when he was appearing on episodes of the TV shows The Oval and Ruthless. Dixon played a character named Dale on the soap operas. According to the complaint, obtained by People on Tuesday, Perry promised Dixon "career advancement and creative opportunities" but allegedly subjected him to "sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation". Dixon also alleged that Perry sexually assaulted him in January 2020, and the following month, offered the actor a recurring role on The Oval.
