Overview

• In an ABC News Live interview, Dixon publicly recounted allegations he says occurred while he worked on Perry’s BET productions, marking his first on‑camera comments since filing suit in June.
• He described encounters at Perry’s Atlanta residence and on set, including an episode in which he says Perry pulled down his underwear and groped him after a night of drinking.
• Dixon says Perry sent sexually suggestive texts and leveraged career influence, leaving him fearful for his job; he appeared in The Oval and Ruthless from 2021 to 2025 before departing the series in September 2024.
• The June lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court seeks $260 million, which Dixon frames as compensation for lost income and a stalled project as well as a deterrent against future misconduct.
• Attorney Matthew Boyd, representing Perry, has called the claims fabricated and characterized the suit as a shakedown; Dixon also filed an EEOC complaint in January 2025, and no criminal charges or findings have been reported.
