The second actor has sued Tyler Perry for sexual assault in a new lawsuit.
The Case Against Tyler Perry: A Legal Journey of Sexual AssaultIn December 2025, a legal battle broke out between an actor and Tyler Perry, one of Hollywood's most powerful figures. The allegations centered on alleged sexual assault by the actor, who was approached by a trainer at Equinox in Los Angeles, leading him to decide to appear in "Boo! A Madea Halloween." This marked part of a larger legal battle against Perry, who claimed his power allowed him to make advances that could harm others.
The lawsuit, filed by the actor, included allegations of sexual battery and assault. The actor was approached by Perry at a gym in 2014, where he was told not to be a bad person but to have a good life. Perry encouraged him to audition for "Boo! A Madea Halloween," telling him, "I'm not a bad person to know and have in your corner." The actor was charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and battery.
The allegations were further detailed in subsequent paragraphs. In 2016, Perry allegedly groped the actor while working on another film. In 2018, he attempted to unbuckle his pants during a scene, and in 2019, he placed his hand on his genitals. The actor was charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and battery.
Tyler Perry's role as a Hollywood studio mogul exploited his power to make advances that could harm others. His alleged misconduct led to legal action, including the lawsuit against Lionsgate, which distributed the 2016 film, accusing the studio of turning a blind eye to Perry's alleged misconduct.
The case highlights the ethical dilemmas faced by Hollywood's powerful figures and the importance of these allegations in shaping future lawsuits. Tyler Perry's story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of power and the need for accountability.
