Tyler Perry Seeks to Keep Private Texts Sealed in $77m Assault Lawsuit
Tyler Perry has asked a court to keep private text messages confidential in his legal dispute with actor Mario Rodriguez, who has accused the filmmaker of sexual assault. Court filings say Perry shared messages with associates during the case but wants them protected under an existing confidentiality agreement. Perry argues that the conversations include personal and financial matters involving people who are not part of the allegations. He says making them public would cause unnecessary embarrassment and invade their privacy. Rodriguez is seeking $77 million over allegations that Perry assaulted him during meetings in 2018. Perry and his company deny wrongdoing, while his legal team maintains that the claims are unfounded. The matter remains before the court.
