Also: this week on the podcast—The Tyler Perry Allegations: Why 'Scam' Claims Make Everything Worse.
Tyler Perry is facing a $260 million sexual harassment lawsuit from actor Derek Dixon—and his legal team wasted no time calling it a “scam” and “shakedown.” That move may work in court. It won’t hold up in the court of public opinion.
In this episode, I break down:
How aggressive legal statements create reputational damage
Why pattern recognition is the biggest risk to Perry’s brand
The Christian Keyes video circulating online and its unspoken implications
What Perry’s team should have said instead—and why it matters
From the “Lizzo Effect” to the gap between legal and reputation risk, this is a classic case of what happens when a billion-dollar brand forgets that beloved status is earned—and easily revoked.
Strategic Takeaway: Defensive desperation destroys trust faster than the allegation itself.
