Source: Derek White / Getty Tyler Perry has responded to the sexual assault claims levied against him by Derek Dixon and is claiming that the actor "needs help." Following Dixon's first televised interview about the allegations, Perry's legal team has fired back with claims of extortion, falsified allegations and a failed TV pilot. The 56-year-old film and TV titan says that Dixon relied "on Hollywood stereotypes and the bad acts of others," and tried to "turn sinister Mr. Perry's acts of platonic friendship and professional mentorship," according to PEOPLE.
