In a court filing submitted on February 27, Perry’s attorneys denied each allegation in the lawsuit. The legal team argued that Rodriguez’s complaint fails to state valid legal claims to be considered by the court. Mario Rodriguez appeared in “Boo! A Madea Halloween.” Rodriguez alleges that Tyler Perry engaged in unwanted sexual advances and sexual assault, and promised him acting roles in exchange for compliance.

According to the lawsuit, in 2018 Tyler Perry allegedly made non‑consensual physical contact with Mario Rodriguez. Rodriguez alleges that Perry engaged in unwanted sexual advances and sexual assault, and promised him acting roles in exchange for compliance. He is seeking $77 million in damages over the incident.

Perry’s lawyers argue Rodriguez filed the lawsuit to obtain financial relief. Rodriguez’s attorneys contend that he filed the lawsuit after Perry ceased financial support. Perry’s lawyers also argue that any contact was consensual. Perry’s lawyers contend Rodriguez was not harmed. Perry’s legal team is seeking to move the case to federal court.

The court document says that Mario Rodriguez asked Tyler Perry for help with housing assistance and medical bills. Perry’s lawyers contend that Rodriguez made up the claims for financial gain.

This is not the only lawsuit Tyler Perry is facing. Another $260 million lawsuit has been filed against him by Derek Dixon. Perry denies any wrongdoing in that case as well. Both lawsuits are still ongoing and have not been decided by the court. Perry and his attorneys continue to deny the allegations.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet sat courtside at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday for a playoff Knicks postseason game. The couple showed up for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks, with the series tied at two games apiece and New York’s season hanging in the balance. Chalamet had a previous playoff game. He was at Game 3 on April 20, the night the Hawks held on for a 109-108 win. Jenner accompanied him, turning the outing into a date night that.

They were seated near other celebrities. Jenner sat between Chalamet and Ben Stiller, while Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan reunited in the stands years after their ‘30 Rock’ days, sat on his other side. Jenner paired studded white jeans with a white tank top and a black leather jacket.

Jenner and Chalamet have been growing closer since April 2023. This comes months after her split from Travis Scott, with whom she has two children. Their first public moment came at a Beyoncé concert in early September 2023, and since then the two have moved steadily from speculation into something far more visible, showing up together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier this year.

Jenner has publicly supported Chalamet career. Speaking on Kid Cudi’s Big Bro digital series on April 1, she called Call Me by Your Name “pretty perfect” and admitted to having watched Wonka seven times. She also cited both Dune films as favorites. Chalamet is set to be available in December with “Dune: Part Three,” based on Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah.

Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles are Engaged After 8 Months of Dating

Published

on

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz are engaged. People report states that the couple has shared the news privately with a small circle of friends, with Kravitz also spotted displaying her ring.

The story unfolded over a few days. On April 19, Kravitz appeared with a ring on her left hand during an outing with Styles. By April 21, photographs published by “The Sun” showed the ring still visible as she shared a kiss with Styles in London.

Their relationship began in August 2025, when they were photographed walking arm in arm in Rome. Around the same time, they were reportedly observed kissing at Rita’s in London the week prior, according to DeuxMoi. It was also reported by people that Styles was spending time with Kravitz during her press run for “Caught Stealing.” From that point, the couple were spotted together on several occasions in London and New York, keeping a low profile and largely staying out of the public eye.

By December 2025, the relationship was described as going strong. Styles was spending extended periods in Rome, with Kravitz joining him regularly since late summer. “They just stroll around, meet up with friends and live a very relaxed life,” a source told People. “They have great chemistry.”

By February 2026, Kravitz was expected to join Styles on his global residency tour, scheduled to begin in May in support of his fourth studio album, “Disco, Occasionally.”

The development comes alongside growing attention on Kravitz’s personal life, as this marks her third engagement. She was previously married to actor Karl Glusman from 2019 to 2020, and later engaged to Channing Tatum in late 2023, before the relationship ended the following year. For Styles, this is his first engagement.

Neither has issued a public statement, but given how the past eight months have unfolded, the ring itself appears to serve as confirmation enough.

A construction worker died after a tragic accident on Sunday, April 26, while he was helping set up the stage for Shakira’s big concert in Brazil. Organizers confirmed the news following an incident that took place at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, where workers were setting up for “Todo Mundo no Rio,” a large outdoor concert that typically attracts huge crowds along the waterfront. The worker was operating a lifting system when a malfunction occurred, and he suffered severe crushing injuries to his legs. His coworkers were able to free him before ambulance crews from the 3rd Maritime Group arrived and quickly transported him to Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital, but the doctors couldn’t save him.

Event organizers posted a statement on Instagram, saying they lost “a professional who was working on assembling the structures for the show”. They explained that first responders gave immediate care before the fire department assisted with the transfer to the hospital. They added they are committed to fully supporting the victim’s family, the company he worked for, and the rest of the team. The state fire brigade also confirmed the incident, stating that coworkers had freed him from the machinery before emergency teams arrived.

The concert is part of Shakira’s larger Brazil tour. Earlier this month, her shows in India set for Mumbai on April 10 and New Delhi on April 15, were postponed, with organizers blaming the regional geopolitical situation. Following Sunday’s accident, there has been no official confirmation on whether the Brazil concert will proceed.
