Another actor has accused Tyler Perry of sexual misconduct.
Mario Rodriguez, who appeared in the 2016 film Boo! A Madea Halloween, has filed a $77 million lawsuit against the filmmaker, alleging that Perry made repeated unwanted sexual advances toward him between 2016 and 2019, according to court documents obtained by People.
The suit contends that Rodriguez resisted Perry's advances and ultimately decided to file suit after The Oval actor Derek Dixon sued the entertainment mogul for sexual harassment in June.
Similar to how Perry's attorney Matthew Boyd responded to Dixon's lawsuit, stating that his client "will not be shaken down," lawyer Alex Spiro called Rodriguez's legal action another attempt to get paid by the same lawyer who's representing Dixon.
“Hing recently failed in another matter against Mr. Perry," Spiro told Deadline in a statement, "the very same lawyer has now made yet another demand from more than a decade ago which will also be a failed money grab."
E! News reached out to Spiro and lawyer Jonathan Delshad, who represents both plaintiffs, for comment but has yet to hear back.
