Filmmaker Tyler Perry is facing a second sexual assault lawsuit, this time from actor Mario Rodriguez, who seeks $77 million in damages. Rodriguez alleges multiple instances of unwanted sexual advances and assault by Perry between 2014 and 2019, including encounters at Perry's home. The lawsuit also names Lionsgate, distributor of the film 'Boo! A Madea Halloween' in which Rodriguez appeared. Perry's attorney has denied the allegations, calling the suit a baseless 'money grab'.
