Derek Dixon, the actor who raised allegations of sexual harassment against Tyler Perry, has broken his silence after suing the producer and media mogul for $260 million last month.

In his first interview since filing a $260 million sexual assault claim against the Madea creator, actor Derek Dixon says he felt compelled to go public because “everyone deserves to go to work and do their job without their boss trying to have sex with them.

Tyler Perry appeared to be in good spirits while at a screening for his latest film Madea's Destination Wedding, less than month since a $260 million lawsuit was filed against the actor and director over alleged sexual harassment, assault and retaliation.
