Tyler Perry sued for $260 million over alleged sexual assault by ‘The Oval' actor
Tyler Perry has been accused of alleged sexual assault by an actor from his popular TV series 'The Oval,' The Post can confirm. According to court documents obtained by The Post, actor Derek Dixon sued Perry, 55, for alleged sexual assault and sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles on June 13. Dixon claimed that Perry 'took his success and power and used his considerable influence in the entertainment industry to create a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic with' the actor. 11 Tyler Perry has been accused of sexual assault by an actor from his popular TV series 'The Oval.' Netflix 11 Actor Derek Dixon sued Perry for sexual assault and sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles on June 13. Instagram/derek_dixon When Dixon did not reciprocate Perry's alleged advances, he claimed the media mogul purportedly began to 'subject him to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation,' per the lawsuit. Dixon claimed that he first met the 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman' creator at an event in 2019 and that Perry 'picked' him 'out of a crowd' and later asked for his phone number while suggesting that he might have a role for the actor. Perry then cast Dixon in two episodes of his BET+ series 'Ruthless.' 11 Perry has denied the allegations against him. Getty Images 'Perry said it was a small role that could get a lot bigger, thereby setting up the first stage in a series of escalating quid pro quo offers,' Dixon alleged in the lawsuit. In January 2020, the 'House of Payne' producer allegedly invited Dixon to his home in Douglasville County, Ga. Although Dixon hoped 'that he would be given a chance to befriend Perry and show him how talented an actor' he was, Dixon claimed that he was allegedly 'served many alcoholic drinks' and convinced to spend the night at the mogul's home. 11 Besides his many accusations against Perry, Dixon also included several years' worth of alleged text message exchanges between him and the 'Madea' creator in his lawsuit. 11 A screenshot of an alleged text message between Perry and his accuser. 11 According to the lawsuit, Perry allegedly wrote that he was 'jealous' seeing Dixon with other men. 'At the end of the night, Perry told Dixon not to drive home,' the lawsuit read. 'Perry said it was dangerous and that Dixon was too 'inebriated' to drive home. Dixon agreed and was escorted to a separate guest room, not knowing that this was a ruse to allow Perry to assault Dixon.' 'Dixon was tired and did not have pajamas and so he got into bed only wearing underwear,' the complaint continued. 'Before he knew what was happening, Dixon felt someone else slip into bed behind him and start rubbing Dixon's body around his inner thigh in a highly sexual and suggestive manner. Dixon turned around and saw that Tyler Perry was in bed with him.' Shortly after the alleged incident, Perry cast Dixon in 'The Oval' and allegedly told the actor to quit his other job as an event staffer because 'Perry was not able to control Dixon so long as Dixon had a secondary income that was providing for his basic needs.' 11 Another screenshot of an alleged text message between Perry and his accuser. 11 A third screenshot of an alleged text message exchange been Perry and Dixon regarding the latter's role as Dale in 'The Oval.' Dixon claimed his role as Dale in 'The Oval' was 'written as a gay, homeless, and desperate store clerk' who was forced to 'sleep with one of the other characters for a place to stay' because that was what Perry was allegedly looking for in a real-life partner. The most shocking accusation allegedly unfolded in June 2021 when Dixon claimed he was almost raped by Perry while once again visiting the entertainment mogul's Georgia home. He alleged that Perry pulled down his underwear and groped his butt after asking for a 'good night' hug. 11 Dixon compared Perry to Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and 'many others in the industry' who have faced similar accusations. Instagram/derek_dixon 'Rather than arguing, Dixon complied, at which point Perry reached out and yanked Dixon's underwear down from behind,' the claims in the lawsuit stated. 'Perry then began to vigorously grab, grope, and play with Dixon's buttocks in a sexual manner. Dixon was naked, stunned and seized by tremendous fear.' 'Dixon started to tell Perry that he 'did not want [his] underwear down,' that Dixon 'didn't want to be naked,' and that Dixon 'didn't want this,'' the lawsuit continued. 'Dixon quickly reached to pull his underwear back up. As soon as he did, Perry grabbed Dixon's reaching arm with a tight grip and held fast.' According to the court documents, Dixon was able to distract Perry and change the subject before the alleged incident went any further. 11 Perry's lawyer has called Dixon's lawsuit a 'scam.' Getty Images for BET Dixon ultimately filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in or around June 2024 before quitting 'The Oval' because of the alleged sexual harassment, per the lawsuit. Besides his many accusations against Perry, Dixon also included several years' worth of alleged text message exchanges between him and the 'Madea' creator in his filing. Dixon is suing Perry and Tyler Perry Studios for quid pro quo sexual harassment, work environment harassment, sexual harassment, workplace gender violence, sexual battery, sexual assault, retaliation, and more. 11 Dixon is seeking $260 million in damages from Perry. A.M.P.A.S. via Getty Images He is also seeking $260 million in damages. 'Just like Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Sean 'P-Diddy' Combs, Kevin Spacey, Roger Ailes, and many others in the industry, Mr. Perry's success has led him to believe that money and influence can get him whatever he wants,' Dixon wrote in his lawsuit. 'That belief slowly transformed into the false idea that Mr. Perry can get whomever he wants,' he added. 'There are things in life that money cannot buy.' Perry's attorney, Matthew Boyd, denied the claims, telling The Post, 'This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.'

Raz Nissim Cohen turns hero during Tel Aviv attacks
Heroes may come in all shapes and sizes — but this good Sam's abs could cut through a brisket. Kosher beefcake Raz Nissim Cohen — known for traipsing through Tel Aviv shirtless to reveal his pecs of the Promised Land — gave women another reason to swoon Monday when he rescued an elderly couple during devastating air strikes in Israel. The Israeli hunk, a 34-year-old former professional basketball player, lives near the impact site of one of the Iranian missiles in the heart of the city and jumped into action when a lady friend told him the couple was trapped in their upper-floor apartment nearby. 4 Hunky 'Heartthrob of the Holy Land' Raz Nissim Cohen leads an elderly couple to safety after rescuing them from their hi-rise apartment during airstrikes in Tel Aviv early Monday. AP Advertisement 'She saw me on the street and begged me to rescue them,' Cohen told The Post on Tuesday from Tel Aviv, adding that police hadn't arrived at the scene yet. 'The building looked like it would collapse like a domino,' he recalled thinking at the time. Cohen — already known as the 'Heartthrob of the Holy Land'' — rushed into the building and up to the pair's floor, where he discovered their door bolted, he said. Advertisement Wearing his typical outfit of athletic shorts with a gun tucked inside — and nothing else — the 6'2' 219-pound Middle East mensch jumped into action. 'I broke the door with my leg,' said the ripped hero, who recalled seeing the couple 'frozen'' inside. 4 Cohen, 34, is a former local professional basketball player. Courtesy of Raz Nisim Cohen 'I fight with him to go out, I grabbed him,' Cohen said of the man. 'I said, 'I'm so sorry.'' Advertisement The Associated Press captured on camera the moment Cohen evacuated the pair from the faltering building, which Cohen said later collapsed. 'If I didn't go crazy in my way and fight with the couple to leave, police said they would die,' Cohen said. The couple was quickly whisked into an ambulance, and he never caught their names. But their son tracked him down after seeing the emotional photo and thanked him profusely for saving his parents' lives, he said. Advertisement 4 Deadly Iranian attacks have devastated Tel Aviv. AP While Cohen has been known by his Holy Land 'Heartthrob'' nickname for years, he can now add 'hero' in front of it, swooned the legions of ladies who already consider him the best thing since sliced challah. 'He's beautiful inside and out,' gushed Bracha Banayan, a 35-year-old New Yorker visiting Tel Aviv to film a documentary about looking for a Jewish husband. 'He saw there was a need to help — he didn't hesitate,' she said. 'It's obviously an instinct for him to take care of people.' But Cohen insisted, 'I'm not a hero. 'God put me where I was supposed to be,'' he said. 'I don't care if people say I'm crazy,' he said, noting that he's twice rescued neighbors from fires. 'I don't care if it's dangerous. I'm crazy in my way.'' Cohen, who played a season of local professional basketball more than 10 years ago, famously crashed an interview on the street with NBA Knicks legend Nate Robinson in 2016, taunting him to go one on one. Advertisement 4 Cohen was already known for popping up around the city shirtless — to the delight of legions of female fans. Raz Nisim Cohen/instagram It's not clear if the pair ever met on the court. He has become known for his physique in the meantime, to the point where 'there are two things you could count on in Tel Aviv,'' said a New York anesthesiologist who was in medical school in Tel Aviv a decade ago. The first is great hummus. The second is Raz Nissim Cohen showing up out of nowhere without a shirt on.' Advertisement A longtime female admirer said, 'The only time I've seen him wear a shirt in a decade is when he goes to shul. 'He's the type of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back – if he wore one – and [Monday's] act of humanity proves that. 'Who needs Iron Dome when you have Raz Nissim Cohen?' she quipped, referring to Israel's famous missile-interception system. For his lustful fans, Cohen listed the things he's looking for in a woman. Advertisement 'If a woman looks at me and wants something for one night, I say no one nights,' he said. 'She needs to love God, the gym, and looking good,'' Cohen said — adding that blondes have the edge for him.

‘Outrageous' Review: Frivolity and Fascism on BritBox
In as many episodes as there were Mitford sisters, the six-part 'Outrageous' tells a frivolous story about frivolous people who somehow made a mark on the world. What's missing here, along with an alibi, is the world. It is a vastly underpopulated re-creation of England that rolls out before the children of Mr. and Mrs. David Freeman-Mitford—aka Baron Redesdale and his wife, Sydney (James Purefoy, Anna Chancellor)—girls who come of age on the eve of both World War II and their father's financial collapse. Why do they continue to hold a place in the imagination? The scandals. Also, a very loose genealogical connection to the Churchills. And the representation, concentrated into one old, privileged, very British collection of bluebloods, of a cross-section of the political corpus of 1930s Britain.
