Man Tyler Perry accused of stalking him sues him for defamation

Thursday, May 28, 2015

Last year, my baby daddy in another life and movie/media mogul Tyler Perry accused a former employee of stalking him after he weirdly broke into the Tyler Perry Studios from the roof, locked himself in a room and refused to come out until he was granted a meeting with Tyler. Tyler later wrote about the incident on his Facebook page. Now the man, Joshua Cole, has filed a lawsuit claiming he was libeled by Tyler when he called him 'mentally disturbed' on social media.

The disgruntled employee is not only suing Tyler, he is also suing a Tyler Perry Studios male supervisor after accusing the man of physical and sexual harassment claiming he was demoted and later suspended after complaining to studio execs.

Joshua Sole is seeking unspecified damages for retaliation, negligent and reckless failure to provide a safe work environment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery, invasion of privacy, libel and bad faith.
