New Lawsuit May Provide a Missing Puzzle Piece in the Christian Keyes-Tyler Perry Story
In December 2023, Christian Keyes created an Instagram live video where he discussed years of sexual harassment from a billionaire media mogul, allegedly Tyler Perry. The video came only days after Cassie Ventura’s groundbreaking lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is now in federal incarceration and on trial for racketeering, prostitution, and sex trafficking.
In the now-deleted Instagram video, Christian mentioned having audio recordings of his aggressor that he could take to the police, but he never took any action. He eventually got very quiet about the matter, as if it never happened.
Many suspect that Christian was paid to keep quiet.
In December 2023, I wrote an article putting pieces of a contractual and professional puzzle together to assess the reasoning and timing of Christian’s outcry after alleged years of harassment.
