Tyler Perry Lawsuit Deepens With Disturbing New Claims: “I Love Killing a Motherf**ker in a Show!”
Loud Review: When Hollywoodโs Curtain Gets Pulled Back
Letโs be realโHollywood loves a scandal, but the Tyler Perry lawsuit allegations? This one reads like a script that even Perry himself might reject as โtoo much.โ The man who built an empire on hope and hustle now faces accusations that could make even the most jaded industry insiders do a double take. Buckle up: weโre diving deep into the legal drama, the jaw-dropping quotes, and the uncomfortable truths about power, sex, and survival in showbiz.
From Mentor to “Sugar Daddy”: The Alleged Price of Fame
Derek Dixon, a former actor on Perryโs hit show โThe Oval,โ claims that Perryโs mentorship came with a sinister catch. According to the lawsuit, Perry didnโt just want to help Dixonโs careerโhe wanted to be his โsugar daddy.โ And he made it crystal clear in his own words:
โWhoever ends up with me is gonna be a happy motherfucker.โ
Perryโs messages, as detailed in the lawsuit, were less โindustry adviceโ and more โNSFW confessional.โ He texted Dixon:
โWhatโs it going to take for you to have guiltless sex? Have yโall found that yet in therapy? … You can [] have freedom from religious guilt and still believe in Christ.โ
And when Dixon tried to keep things professional? Perry didnโt hide his disappointment:
โI give and give and give and no one ever does anything for me in return. No one ever gives me what I want or what I need.โ
That โneed,โ the lawsuit alleges, was sexual.
Chilling Threats and Hollywood Power Plays
If you thought Perryโs on-screen villains were intense, his alleged real-life threats take things to a new level. Dixon claims Perry used his power as showrunner to intimidate and control, sending texts that blurred the line between fiction and reality:
โBut I swear to you, I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS SHIT! I love killing a motherfucker in a show that no one expects.โ
Perry allegedly explained his tactics:
โ…fix things because the actors of a show he was filming should all be scared because they were all shot at and โwe donโt know who lives.โโ
Translation: If you donโt play ball, you might get written offโliterally.
Perry even joked about manipulating the showโs plot to keep actors โsubmissiveโ:
โI may need to shoot the shoot out early.โ
Groping, Gaslighting, and the โLosing Itโ Bait
The complaint doesnโt stop at texts. Dixon describes physical encounters that he says crossed every line. In one disturbing incident, Perry allegedly pinned Dixon against a wall and groped him aggressively. Dixon claims he was โshocked and immobilized.โ
And Perry knew exactly how to keep Dixon close, allegedly dangling the promise of producing Dixonโs dream project:
On the very same call where he apologized for the sexual assault, Perry told Dixon, โAnd donโt worry, weโre gonna do your show,โ referring to the pilot Dixon desperately wanted to produce.
But according to Dixon, it was all a ruseโjust another method of control.
The Juiciest, Most Unfiltered Perry Quotes
The lawsuit is a goldmine of eyebrow-raising, watercooler-worthy lines. Here are some of the wildest:
- โI canโt tell you the last time I pumped gas. Or went to the supermarket. Or fly commercial. Or packed a bag. Or had good sex. It was before I was rich.โ
- โI will gladly chock [sic] you right now.โ (referring to his desire to choke Dixon in a sexual way)
- โNo straight man would be going on walks with you or cooking dinner for you unless they wanted to fuck you. I would fuck you.โ
- โWhen will you be thick again?โ
- โI love how I feel right now but I donโt like being horny.โ
- โI feel sorry for the first person who flirts with me.โ
- โThat snake across the table made me think of [photo of Nicki Minaj from the music video for her song โAnacondaโ in which she references intercourse with male genitalia symbolized by a snake.]โ
- โYou have to be able to say no [to propositions for sex]. And mean it and make it clear.โ
- โThe only one who could have gotten that [the Oscar] for you through sex is in prison. So just stick to the no. Unless you are really into him.โ
- โBe careful hanging around me!! I cause dreamers to dream bigger!! I cause them to not only believe but do!! Then letโs make it happen. Youโre an artist. You have to be fulfilled. Nothing else will suffice.โ
And when Dixon avoided him, Perry made it personal:
Of the 600 people in his phonebook, he only wanted to talk to Mr. Dixon.
Dixonโs Responses: Awkward, Honest, and Sometimes Drunk
Dixon didnโt always play along. When Perry commented on his โcowboyโ outfit, Dixon shot back:
โNot at all. Itโs so true. Half-assed costume.โ
And in another exchange:
โYou know what I cook[?] Derekโ and then proceeds to say โIโm so drunk. Talking shit.โ
Cover-Ups, Retaliation, and the Hollywood Machine
The lawsuit claims Perry and his team didnโt just harass Dixonโthey tried to keep him quiet. Perryโs attorney allegedly warned:
Donโt tell any other actor on the show about Dixonโs raise because no other actors were getting a raise, only Dixon.
And when things got too hot, the defendants allegedly told Dixon:
The only way out was to portray his departure from the show as a medical leave due to the emotional distress caused by the sexual harassment.
Pattern of Abuse? Enter Christian Keyes
Dixonโs lawsuit hints that heโs not alone. It references actor Christian Keyes, suggesting Perryโs alleged misconduct might be part of a larger pattern. Perry allegedly warned Dixon:
โIf you let the cast know that you and I have a new friendship then you are opening yourself up to a lot of questions and foolishness.โ
