As a dedicated fan of the silver screen, I find myself sharing a heavy burden these days. A man named Dixon, who’s made quite an impression on Perry’s show “The Oval,” has filed a lawsuit in LA this month. The suit alleges sexual and work harassment, sexual battery, assault, and other claims, with a staggering demand for $260 million in damages.
Dixon claims that Perry took notice of him at a studio party back in September 2019. When he expressed his aspiration to act, Perry offered encouragement and eventually cast him in not one, but two shows: “The Oval” on BET and the spinoff “Ruthless” on BET+. In these roles, Dixon portrayed a gay, homeless, and desperate store clerk who was forced into intimate situations with another character for shelter.
