Derek Dixon has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles accusing Perry of using his influence in the entertainment industry to create a “coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic” while he was acting on The Oval and Ruthless.
He alleges Perry promised him a successful acting career but then subjected him to “escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation” when he didn’t reciprocate Perry’s “unwanted advances”.
Perry’s lawyer denied the allegations and called the lawsuit a “scam” to make money.
The lawsuit states Perry also allegedly made numerous sexual comments and remarks about wanting a sexual relationship, and made several advances on Dixon – which he rejected.
