50 Cent has moved to defend his friend, Tyler Perry, from claims he committed sexual assault.
Perry has been sued for $260 million by a man named Derek Dixon who worked as an actor on several of his TV shows.
Dixon claims that Perry subjected him to “escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation” after he rebuffed the actor and director’s alleged advances.
Perry, through his attorney, blasted the lawsuit as a shakedown attempt, saying in a statement: “This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.”
