Actor Mario Rodriguez has filed a lawsuit against filmmaker Tyler Perry, alleging repeated unwanted sexual advances at Perry’s Los Angeles home between 2014 and 2019. The lawsuit seeks at least $77 million in damages and accuses Perry of sexual assault, sexual battery, and emotional distress. Perry denies the allegations. Recent text messages show Rodriguez reaching out to Perry as recently as August 2025, expressing gratitude and financial struggles. The case follows a June lawsuit by actor Derek Dixon, also alleging misconduct by Perry.
