Tyler Perry lands in Indiana the week of two sexual assault lawsuits

Tyler Perry flew from La Mure-Argens Airfield in France to Flying Crown Airport in Paragon, Indiana, on June 17, 2026 — an 8-hour, 59-minute trip aboard his Embraer E-190, N378TP. The destination, a private airstrip on his 856-acre Douglasville estate, doubles as his home base.

The same week this flight touched down, Perry is defending two active sexual assault lawsuits. Derek Dixon, a former cast member on Perry's BET series The Oval, filed a $260 million suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 13, 2025, accusing Perry of sexual assault, battery, and retaliation, per legal filings first reported by TMZ and covered by People. A second actor, Mario Rodriguez, filed a $77 million suit on Christmas Day 2025, naming Perry and Lionsgate. Perry's attorney, Alex Spiro, has called both cases “failed money grabs.” No trial dates have been set; both cases remain active as of May 2026, according to Lawsuits Journal.

The flight lands amid a pattern of transatlantic movement: in the previous ten days, Perry's aircraft stopped in Barcelona, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and Boston before heading to Indiana. He was photographed at Beyoncé's Paris Cowboy Carter concert on June 13, per fan videos shared by Yahoo Entertainment — a respite before returning to the legal fray on home soil.
