Filmmaker Tyler Perry denies claims that he sexually assaulted an actor who worked on his television shows "The Oval" and "Ruthless."

An actor who worked on the Tyler Perry-created TV drama “The Oval” has filed a lawsuit alleging Perry leveraged his industry power to repeatedly sexually assault and harass him while keeping him quiet.
