Tyler Perry
Accuser Doubles Down on Sexual Assault Claims
… Despite Friendly Texts
Mario Rodriguez — the man who accused Tyler Perry of sexual battery last week — says friendly text messages the two allegedly exchanged don’t undermine his claims and are actually consistent with his account.
He continues, “When someone has influence over your career, your income, your future, you don’t feel free. Survivors often stay cordial. They often ask for help when they feel desperate.”
We broke the story … the texts allegedly show Rodriguez asking Perry for financial help to address a dental health issue. The messages also appear to show Rodriguez thanking Perry repeatedly for his support and friendship.
Perry’s attorney, Alex Spiro, strongly denies the claims, telling TMZ … “This is nothing but a $77 million money grab scam.”
