In a new filing Tyler Perry claims NONE of Derrick Dixon's allegations are true and accuses him of filing the lawsuit for revenge after Perry was unable to sell Dixon's TV pilot to Netflix...
From People
Tyler Perry is alleging that accuser Derek Dixon falsified the sixual assault claims against the film director, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
On Oct. 1, Perry's legal team filed documents with the United States District Court's Central Division of California, alleging that Dixon's sixual assault lawsuit against Perry is “profoundly disappointing, cynical, and—most of all—false.”
In the October filing, Perry’s legal team argues that Dixon’s accusations and lawsuit rely “on Hollywood stereotypes and the bad acts of others," as "Dixon distorts and tries to turn sinister Mr. Perry’s acts of platonic friendship and professional mentorship.”
“Dixon invents alleged assaults and encounters that never happened,” the filing states.
“Mr. Perry never assaulted Dixon or committed any sixual battery. He did not offer Dixon pay raises and shoot Dixon’s television pilot script to threaten, coerce, or control Dixon,” the filing reads.
The filing continues: “And it is notable that in his effort to exploit his friendship and professional relationship with Mr. Perry to obtain a $260 million payday, Dixon was forced to lie not only about Mr. Perry, but himself too.”
The filing further alleges that the suit is about “Dixon’s greed and avarice, not Mr. Perry’s alleged and nonexistent harassment or abuse.”
The filing goes on to state that Perry “looks forward to refuting each and every false accusation in court.”
Perry’s team alleged that Dixon did not “file this lawsuit because of anything Mr. Perry did,” claiming that Dixon took the legal action because Perry was not able to sell Dixon's television pilot to Netflix, per the filing.
“By his actions and false accusations, it is clear that Dixon needs help. But he cannot find it in this Court,” the filing claims. “Although Dixon alleges that he was the victim of escalating sixual misconduct, he had no problem taking a role on Season 2 of Mr. Perry’s television series The Oval.”

I believe Tyler!
Poor Tyler.
Entanglements.
I think Tyler made a deal to promote Dixon’s pilot in exchange for some favors. I think Tyler tried to sell it but failed. Tyler thought he could walk away. He can after he pays Dixon.
Jilted lova
Tyler might be dislikable but he ain't stupid. This little hustler was way too obvious to hit on.
I agree 4:14. I think they both have some truths here and there… still consensual and with some definite retaliation thrown in
