After ‘The Oval’ star Derek Dixon’s $260 million sexual assault lawsuit against Tyler Perry went viral, fans noticed several similarities between Dixon’s allegations and a 2023 viral video from actor Christian Keyes.
In December 2023, Keyes released a video alleging that he had been sexually harassed by a “Black Hollywood billionaire.” However, he did not name Perry, but fans quickly assumed he was referring to Perry.
The videos were quickly deleted, and Keyes went silent, leading to speculation that he may have been paid off.
Keyes was even mentioned in Dixon’s lawsuit against Perry.
“In December 2023, Christian Keyes, another actor who worked for Perry before Dixon’s employment, posted a video on social media platforms detailing his abusive experience with an anonymous’ black Hollywood billionaire,’ which Dixon pieced together and believes to be Tyler Perry,” the lawsuit reads.
“Dixon heard Mr. Keyes’ account and saw that Perry had been engaging in the same sexual conduct as other actors. Just like the interactions described by Keyes, Perry would get drunk, climb into Dixon’s bed, and start fondling Dixon’s buttocks. Dixon wanted to share his experiences with the media to prevent other actors from being abused at the hands of Perry.”
Now, fans are once again reposting the video, making it go viral for a second time.
