The Straits Times
|December 30, 2025
A second actor has sued filmmaker and media mogul Tyler Perry (right), accusing him of sexual assault and seeking US$77 million (S$99 million) in damages, according to a complaint filed on Dec 25 in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
In the lawsuit, which also names the production company Lionsgate as a defendant, actor Mario Rodriguez said he was subjected to multiple instances of sexual assault at Perry’s Los Angeles home.
Rodriguez had a small role in the 2016 comedy Boo! A Madea Halloween, a movie that Perry directed and starred in. Rodriguez told Perry that he had never acted before auditioning to get that part, according to the lawsuit.
