In a bombshell social media post, actor and military veteran Braxton Demarco Wells has made explosive allegations against Mark E. Swinton, the senior vice president of Scripted Programming at Tyler Perry Studios.

Wells, known for his role in Perry’s hit series The Oval, accused Swinton of grooming and sexually assaulting him after flying him from Los Angeles to Georgia under false pretences.

But the accusations didn’t stop there. Wells also claimed that Tyler Perry himself was aware of the abuse and helped cover it up.

Wells wrote:

“Mark E. Swinton, you groomed and r@ped me while I was under your influence. You abused your position... to commit unspeakable evil behind closed doors.”

Wells didn’t mince words in his accusations against Perry, claiming the media mogul not only chose silence over justice but also allegedly worked with attorneys to pressure him into signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to silence the matter.

He added:

“Tyler Perry, you built your empire on the image of a God-fearing man. Yet when darkness crept in... you retained a predator and helped cover it up.”

Wells said he is now taking legal action, seeking to invalidate the NDA and sue for sexual assault, emotional trauma, and legal malpractice.

These disturbing claims come just weeks after another actor, Derek Dixon, filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Perry himself, alleging misconduct after a 2019 encounter.

Dixon, who also starred in The Oval, described his experience as manipulative and predatory.

In response to Dixon’s lawsuit, Perry’s lawyer, Matthew Boyd, dismissed the claims, calling them fabricated and part of a shakedown attempt.

Boyd stated:

“This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam."
