Tyler Perry responded to the sexual harassment cases brought against him by Derek Dixon and said that the actor “needs help.”
After Dixon’s first televised interview with the allegations, Perry’s legal team pushed back with claims of extortion, fabricated allegations and a failed TV pilot. The 56-year-old film and TV titan said Dixon leaned on “Hollywood stereotypes and the bad deeds of others,” and tried to “open up the sinovites with platonic friendships and good training,” People said.
The filed legal documents were filed on Oct.1 and they plan to take the matter to court instead of bowing to Dixon’s $260 million request.
“Dixon Indents is suspected of attacking and meeting very rarely,” it states, as reported by People. “Mr.
It continues,
“With his actions and the false accusations, it’s clear that Dixon needs help. But he can’t get it in this courtroom. Although Dixon claims to be a victim of sexual misconduct, he had no problem with Mr. Perry’s television series An oval. “
Bossip previously reported that Dixon claimed that he was attacked several times by Perry at his Atlanta home and was forced to give up his job.
“We were both going back to the resort, where I used to live, and there’s this health figure on the road. I was like, ‘How’s that?’ And he said, ‘Well you should be wearing your underwear to measure,'” Dixon recalled. “He reached down and pulled my underwear down and grabbed my ass and I tried to stop him and he brought my arms back up. He was like, ‘No NO, it’s okay.’ And I said, ‘Stop, I don’t want to be naked. I don’t want this.’ And he said, ‘I won’t hurt you.’ “
Dixon continues,
“Unless someone has had something where they’ve had their body taken away, you don’t really understand the kind of emotions you get in that moment.’
In an exclusive interview with ABC, Dixon said that this incident followed another when Perry climbed into bed in the guest house that the actor was sleeping on and tried to move on.
“I jumped on the bed. He said, ‘Turn over so I can look at you,’ and I commented on how I looked. And he got up and left,” Dixon said. “I thought after this situation, it was clear that I don’t care about that kind of relationship … It’s okay that people try to move or shoot that they should stop after that and it didn’t.”
He wants his asking price of $ 260 million at least owed to be subject to harassment. Unless Dixon drops his case, he and Perry will have their day in court.
