Tyler Perry refuted a $77 million sexual assault lawsuit by Mario Rodriguez, labeling it an extortion attempt.Summary
Tyler Perry has vehemently denied allegations of sexual assault made by actor Mario Rodriguez, who filed a $77 million lawsuit against him. Perry’s attorney, Alex Spiro, responded to the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, asserting the claims are without merit and suggesting Rodriguez previously sought financial assistance before leveling the accusations. Rodriguez alleges the abuse occurred between 2014 and 2019, but maintains that friendly text messages exchanged between the two do not disprove his claims, explaining that survivors often maintain a facade of cordiality due to fear or professional concerns. Perry has characterized the lawsuit as a “shakedown” attempt.
