Tyler Perry Sued By Second Actor For Sexual Assault

Tyler Perry has been hit with another lawsuit from a second accuser, TMZ reports. According to the outlet, Boo! A Madea Halloween actor, Mario Rodriguez, accused Perry of making unwanted sexual advances, including groping, multiple times. On Thursday (Dec.26), Rodriguez filed the suit in a California courtroom listing Perry and Lionsgate Films as the defendants. The model and actor claims he met the director back in 2015, after a gym trainer approached him and offered to connect him with the director.

Later that same day, Rodriguez says he and Perry discussed a script he was working on (which ultimately became Boo! A Madea Halloween), as well as a possible role for him. Despite noting he didn’t have acting experience, he says Perry told him, “You know, Mario, I’m not a bad person to know and have in your corner.”
