Sounds like TP was trying to mentor this dude and they were becoming close friends, at least in TPs mind. And Yes, TP did flirt a little but I don't see anything that comes off as harassment.
TP is geigh and totally into this guy… but this feels like light pursuit, not harassment. Must be more to come
I know this not it?!
Tyler should be suing him for being a user. He led Tyler on tying to get his wack tv show made. when it didn't happen he sued.
Got’em
That carcasian need to stop. And Tyler stop flirting with the help. 2Cents
👀👀
I believe that some of these texts have been doctored and placed way out of context… all Tyler did was flirt… it was subtle, kind and considerate. And for the record being gay is not a crime.
He's leading Tyler on. Just say no man I'm not into flirting with the same sex. LOLO
The text read weird like some stuff is missing and Tyler was definitely flirting but this is not harassment. He just wanted to out Tyler for a payday.
Too bad we already knew since way back. He doesn’t deserve a dime and his acting sucks.
As for Tyler, he should have known better. YT folks can’t be trusted, I don’t care how many swirl couples promote their fetish relationships trying to make it seem like love. They mean black folks no good.
Watching openly gay social media personalities cover this story has been interesting. They didn't hide that they actually knew Tyler was gay and they felt the guy was using the lawsuit to out TP.
If Diddy goes down for a RICO, TP will be next.
It's sad! TP should have just lived his truth.
Tyler is a manipulative slime ball
Tp is so gay but he doesn’t want to out to his main base… blk church women who adore him. God forbid he should be gay. /s
Aww Tyler, it's alright, be who you wanna be. 💯
Black church women love gay black man.
Weak case.
That's it? That's all? Get over yourself, Derek.
Why don't BM get married and stay with that one partner. One after the other is going down like the writing is on the wall "EASY TARGET". The guy wanted a job and TP should have respected that and kept it all business. Not sure why he felt it was appropriate to flirt with someone who works for you in corporate it would be considered harassment. TP should have known better, people are out to expose and get paid, hopefully he learns from this and moves smarter.
TP Just come out the closet.
Tyler sticks with ppl who love and supports him
Don't you? I'm surprised he went after a Yt man. He continues to support Black everything. It shows he falls under the Yt spell too. I don't see the desire for piggly wiggly. LOLO
Damm, all these nagas and crackas out here giving away dicx and buddy, but you trying to take some? Lawd! I just don’t understand negroids with money.
Ok for those who don’t get it! When you hold a position of power over someone like you are their employer it’s not just flirting ! This is why black men end up in all these situations they don’t know the law and they are always being inappropriate and unprofessional !! YOU DONT FLIRT MAKE PASSES AT PUT YOUR HANDS IN PRIVATE AREAS make threats or do quid pro quo with someone you enjoyed or supervise it is considered sexual harassment! The fact that we as a community are so willing to make excuses and not see the error in this is crazy! Diddy on trial because you can not do these things even if you feel it’s consensual because it’s inappropriate and goes against employment laws! Tyler could have chose any other white man long as he didn’t work for him! Dan it’s not that hard to understand folks!
Employ not enjoy
When you flirt and make passes at people who use supervise or who you have given a job to meaning you employ them, they may feel obligated to flirt back or go along with whatever you got going so that they can keep their job. This is why you do not do these things this is why it’s called sexual harassment. It doesn’t matter how nice you did it how light the flirtation was you don’t do it.
Sounds like the dude was mildly flirting back just to get his show done and had absolutely no interest in him. And Tyler Perry telling him not to tell anyone about their "friendship" is a direct indicator of abuse of power. He has a case, but not strong enough for the money he's trying to get.
Derek didn't mind all the flirting when he thought Tyler was going to produce his tv show. Sounds just like that other one who was squawking last year after getting kicked off that show he created.
TP refused to read between the lines, he kept harassing this man like he just couldn't help himself. It's disgusting and actually really cringe reading these messages.
^^^ Yup someone said it's abuse of power....and I agree.
Jcee comment 2 much
When Katt said everything would come out, he wasn't lying. I never thought Tyler's preferences would surface.
