Tyler Perry’s accuser is speaking out after filing a $260 million sexual assault lawsuit against the powerful actor-writer-director.
“Everyone deserves to go to work and do their job without their boss trying to have sex with them,” Derek Dixon toldThe Hollywood Reporter. “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.”
Dixon, who appeared in 85 episodes of Perry’s series The Oval, alleged in a June complaint that Perry had persistently sexually harassed him and on multiple instances sexually assaulted him, wielding his power over Dixon’s career as leverage.
