    Tyler Perry’s sexual assault accuser speaks out about his $260 million lawsuit

    Published on

    Tyler Perry’s sexual assault accuser, Derek Dixon, will open up about his allegations against the media mogul in an upcoming interview with ABC News’ Linsey Davis. In a preview of the discussion, he recalls the first time the two allegedly had a sexual encounter.
    “I got into bed and then I noticed that he climbed into bed with me as well and started rubbing my leg. I jumped up out of bed,” he alleged. He further said of his feelings: “Unless someone has been through something where they have their control over their bodies taken away you don’t really understand the kind of feelings that you get in that moment.”
    Dixon filed a $260 million sexual assault claim against Perry, earlier this year. He alleged that Perry made numerous unwanted sexual advances toward him and that he uses his power in the entertainment industry to harass his employees. Dixon previously starred in the billionaire’s TV series, The Oval.
    Explaining the decision to take legal action over the incidents in a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter, Dixon wrote: “I couldn’t just let him get away with this. Everyone deserves to go to work and do their job without their boss trying to have sex with them. My goal is to help ensure that the next generation of actors and creatives don’t have to choose between their dreams and their dignity.”
