Tyler Perry is facing a sexual assault lawsuit filed by actor Mario Rodriguez, who alleges repeated unwanted sexual advances while working on “Boo! A Madea Halloween.” Rodriguez claims Perry assaulted him at his home and seeks $77 million in damages, also suing Lionsgate for ignoring the alleged misconduct. The lawsuit details multiple inappropriate incidents from 2014 to 2019 and describes how Rodriguez was approached for an audition by a trainer linked to Perry. This follows another lawsuit by actor Derek Dixon, who accused Perry of groping him on set.
