Actor Derek Dixon Alleges Tyler Perry Threatened To ‘K!Il Off His Character On The Oval’ Over Rejected S3xual Advances

#DerekDixon is sharing his truth.

The former #TheOval actor spoke out against his ex-boss, #TylerPerry, in a candid interview with ABC News. As reported, Dixon filed a $260 million lawsuit in June 2025 against the media mogul, alleging a pattern of s3xual harassment, a$$ault, coercion, and professional retaliation.

Dixon claims Perry initially offered career opportunities, but those offers turned into “a coercive, s3xually exploitative dynamic” when Dixon rejected Perry’s advances. In the suit, Dixon recounts being groped, a$$aulted at Perry’s home, and warned that his Oval character could be killed off if he didn’t comply. During the interview, Dixon described enduring shame and emotional distress, but insisted he no longer wants to “stay silent” and hopes to bring accountability and prevent others from experiencing similar abuse.

Perry’s lawyers have yet to speak on Dixon’s interview. However, they previously strongly denied his allegations, calling the suit a “scam” and expressing confidence that the claims would be disproven.
