Filmmaker Tyler Perry has been sued by actor and model Mario Rodriguez, who appeared in the 2016 film Boo! A Madea Halloween. Rodriguez filed a $77 million lawsuit on December 25, 2025, alleging sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress over multiple years.
According to the complaint, the alleged incidents occurred in Perry’s Los Angeles home and involved unwanted advances and inappropriate physical contact. The lawsuit also names Lionsgate, the film’s distributor, alleging the company ignored Perry’s conduct.
Perry’s attorney has denied the allegations and described the lawsuit as a “money grab,” while Rodriguez has pointed to alleged power dynamics and released text messages to support his claims.
When we hear conflicting stories from two people whose worlds once overlapped, how do we hold space for complexity without dismissing anyone’s truth?
