AP <\/strong>\u2014 Tyler Perry was sued for sexual assault by an actor who appeared in \u201cBoo! A Madea Halloween,\u201d marking the second lawsuit in recent months accusing the filmmaker and studio mogul of leveraging his power in Hollywood to make sexual advances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario Rodriguez filed the lawsuit Thursday in California, alleging Perry subjected him to repeated unwanted sexual advances over several years, including sexual battery and assault at Perry\u2019s Los Angeles home. Rodriguez is seeking at least $77 million in damages and also has sued Lionsgate, which distributed the 2016 film, accusing the studio of turning a blind eye to Perry\u2019s alleged misconduct.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lionsgate did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Perry\u2019s lawyer denied the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the complaint, Rodriguez was approached in 2014 by a trainer at an Equinox gym in Los Angeles who said Perry wanted his phone number to discuss an acting role. Perry later encouraged Rodriguez to audition for \u201cBoo! A Madea Halloween,\u201d telling him, \u201cI\u2019m not a bad person to know and have in your corner,\u201d the lawsuit claims.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After Rodriguez was cast, he was invited to Perry\u2019s home, where Perry allegedly touched him inappropriately while they watched a movie. The lawsuit describes additional alleged incidents in 2016, 2018 and 2019, including one encounter in which Perry allegedly attempted to unbuckle Rodriguez\u2019s pants and another in which Perry placed Rodriguez\u2019s hand on his genitals. The complaint says Perry gave Rodriguez $5,000 on multiple occasions following the encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodriguez says he resisted the advances and ultimately decided to file suit after learning of similar allegations made by another actor, Derek Dixon.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dixon sued Perry in June<\/a>, alleging the filmmaker groped him while Dixon worked on Perry\u2019s television series \u201cThe Oval\u201d and \u201cRuthless.\u201d That lawsuit, which was originally filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, has reportedly since been moved to federal court in Georgia, where Perry\u2019s studio is based.<\/p>

Rodriguez\u2019s lawsuit includes claims of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
