KDBS Radio 99.7FM+FollowTYLER PERRY SUED BY LATINO ACTOR FOR SHOCKING SEXUAL ASSAULT—$77M DEMANDED!: Mario Rodriguez, the Latino actor who played "Frat Guy #10" in Tyler Perry's 2016 film Boo! A Madea Halloween, filed a bombshell lawsuit on December 26, 2025, accusing Perry of years of unwanted sexual advances, battery, and assault at his Los Angeles home. Rodriguez claims Perry lured him with acting promises starting in 2014 via a gym trainer, then allegedly groped him multiple times between 2016 and 2019—once grabbing his genitals despite pleas to stop—before handing over $5,000 hush money. This marks the second such suit against Perry this year, following Derek Dixon's $260M claims from June, with Lionsgate also named for allegedly ignoring the mogul's behavior; Perry's team vehemently denies it all.
