Duchess Meghan: Serious allegations against her friend

He is considered a close confidante of Duchess Meghan (43), who even made his villa available to her and her husband Prince Harry (40) after her departure from the British royal family: But now actor, director and producer Tyler Perry (55) is confronted with serious allegations. A colleague accuses him of sexual coercion and demands compensation in the amount of $ 260 million.

In a lawsuit submitted in Los Angeles on Friday, June 13th, actor Derek Dixon claims that Perry had created a “compulsive, sexually exploitial dynamic” between them on the set of the “The Oval” and “Ruthless” series. Perry initially promised him career opportunities and creative opportunities, such as the production of his pilot film, but then exposed to increasing sexual harassment, assault and professional retaliation. The trigger for this should have been that he had not returned to Perry’s approach.

Matthew Boyd, a lawyer of Tyler Perry, said in a statement: “This is a person who has come close to Tyler Perry, and who apparently has committed nothing more than the staging of a fraud. However, Tyler cannot be stopped and we are confident that these invented harassment allegations will remain ineffective,” says the explanation.

The plaintiff claims that he met the producer at the opening party of the Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 2019. After that, Perry is said to have often written SMS, sometimes with suggestive advances. In November 2019 he offered him a small role in “Ruthless”. In January 2020, sexual abuse is said to have occurred in Perry’s house. Perry also bothered him after that. The actor stated that he had visited a doctor in December 2020 “who found that Dixon had severe symptoms of acute stress, insomnia, stomach problems and a dangerously low cortisol level due to sexual harassment and attack. That’s why he was prescribed an antidepressant.

Tyler Perry helped the Duchy of Sussex to gain a foothold in the USA. In the meantime, he let the royal dropouts live in one of his estates. Meghan and he are said to have had a common publicist what they connected. After that, a deep friendship developed, so that he even grew the sponsor of Princess Lilibet (4). Perry could also be seen in the Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan” (2022).

When he was awarded an award at the Paley Honor’s Gala case on December 4, 2024, Meghan was at his side. If Perry comments on the Sussexes in the media, then only positively: In an interview with “E! News”, he smashed any rumors about a couple’s marriage crisis: “They love each other. They have a wonderful family and I just want the best for you.”
