Harry, Meghan Face Criticism for Silence on Tyler Perry $260M Lawsuit

Tyler Perry, godfather to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter Lilibet, is facing a $260 million lawsuit filed by actor Derek Dixon, accusing him of sexual harassment, assault, and retaliation on the sets of Perry's shows. Despite Perry's denial and his legal team's claim that the accusations are fabricated, Harry and Meghan have remained silent, drawing criticism from royal experts and commentators who view their lack of public support as self-serving and a betrayal given their past closeness to Perry. Perry, a powerful Hollywood figure and friend who once offered the couple his mansion and security when they moved to California, now finds himself isolated amid the scandal. Experts argue that Harry and Meghan's silence may harm their reputations regardless of the lawsuit's outcome, as their distancing could be perceived either as disloyalty or opportunism. The situation underscores the complex dynamics of celebrity loyalty and public perception in high-profile legal battles. Meanwhile, Perry continues to contest the claims, asserting that he will not be extorted by what he describes as a scam.
