Tyler Perry has denied recent allegations made against him in an ongoing lawsuit. The filmmaker submitted a court filing denying the claims and accusing Mario Rodriguez of putting pressure on him for a settlement.

The dispute surrounds a planned deposition, where Perry was expected to answer questions under oath. However, Perry asserts that he had already agreed to attend and cooperate with the process. His attorneys argue that some of the proposed questions are irrelevant and rely on stereotypes.

Perry also rejected claims about his sexual orientation, saying, "I'm not embarrassed." He maintained that such inquiries have no connection to the assault allegations.

Rodriguez initially sought sanctions against Perry but has since changed tactics, according to the court filing. Perry accused Rodriguez of publicly leaking and using court filings to damage his reputation.

Both sides continue to exchange arguments within the courtroom, with neither party showing signs of concession. The judge has yet to rule on any matters related to the case.
