NEED TO KNOW

  • Perry's legal team described the lawsuit as a fabricated attempt to extract money after he allegedly stopped providing Rodriguez financial assistance, while Rodriguez is seeking $77 million in damages

  • Rodriguez, who had a minor role in Boo! A Madea Halloween, alleges Perry made unwanted sexual advances and assaulted him — claims Perry denies as he seeks to move the case to federal court

Tyler Perryis denying sexual assault allegations in a newly filed court response, calling a $77 million lawsuit against him a "money grab."

In an answer filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Feb. 27, Perry denied "each and every allegation" made by Mario Rodriguez and laid out 19 affirmative defenses.

The 56-year-old's attorneys argue the complaint fails to state valid legal claims, that Rodriguez did not suffer damages and that any alleged contact was consensual.

The response goes further, describing the lawsuit as a fabricated attempt to extract money after Perry allegedly stopped providing Rodriguez with financial assistance.

According to the filing, Rodriguez had a "very minor role" in one Perry film about a decade ago and later repeatedly asked for help covering expenses such as housing, medical services and unpaid bills.

Perry is also seeking to move the case to federal court. The filing states that he and Lionsgate intend to remove the action to the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Rodriguez's initial lawsuit, obtained by PEOPLE, paints a very different picture. He alleges that Perry sexually assaulted him and made unwanted advances while promising acting opportunities. Rodriguez appeared as "Frat Guy #10" in Perry's 2016 filmBoo! A Madea Halloween.

In the complaint, Rodriguez claims Perry invited him to his home under the guise of discussing work and, during one alleged incident in 2018, grabbed him despite repeated requests to stop.

He further alleges Perry told him, "If you were to just be with me, I would take care of you," and says that after two incidents Perry apologized and gave him $5,000. Rodriguez is seeking $77 million in damages.

Perry has denied the allegations. His attorney, Alex Spiro, said in a Dec. 26 statement that the claims are "another demand from more than a decade ago which will also be a failed money grab."

Rodriguez is represented by Jonathan J. Delshad, who also represents Derek Dixon in a separate lawsuit against Perry. Dixon, who starred in Perry's seriesThe Oval, filed a $260 million lawsuit in June alleging sexual harassment, assault and retaliation, which Perry denies. Delshad has said Dixon's claims "are alive and well" after being moved from California to Georgia.

PEOPLE has reached out to representatives for both parties for additional comment.

The actor hosted the Feb. 22 award show, where Tourette's advocate John Davidsonhurled a racial slurwhile"Sinners"starsMichael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindowere onstage presenting an award. During the ceremony, Cummingbriefly paused the show to address Davidson's involuntary tics.

In anInstagram poston Monday, March 2, the "Traitors" star spoke about the incident and apologized to the Black and Tourette's communities.

"I'm so sorry the Tourettes community has been reminded of the lack of understanding and tolerance that abounds regarding their condition," he added.

2026 BAFTAs:Alan Cumming addresses tic outburst from John Davidson

Cumming: 'We were all let down' that the slur was broadcast

Scottish actor and presenter Alan Cumming poses on the red carpet upon arrival at the BAFTA British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, in London, on February 22, 2026.

The racial slur was audible on the BBC television broadcast, which was aired on a two-hour delay. It sparked backlash andprompted apologiesfrom the BBC, the BAFTAs, and Davidson, who condemned the slur.

"The only possible good that could come of this is a reminder that words matter, that rushing to judgement about things of which we are not fully cognisant is folly, that all trauma must be recognised and honoured," Cumming wrote. "We were all let down by decisions made to both broadcast slurs and censor free speech."

Days after the BAFTAs, on Feb. 28, Lindo expressed gratitude at the 57th NAACP Awards, while presenting the best supporting actress in a movie award alongside directorRyan Coogler.

"I'd just like to officially say, I appreciate, we appreciate all the support and love we have been shown in the aftermath of what happened last weekend. It means a lot to us," he said at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

Jordan, who was also in attendance, did not address the moment during the broadcast but said, "I love being Black" when he accepted the award for best actor in a movie. He dedicated the honor to his late "Black Panther" costar Chadwick Boseman.

Christina Applegate Reveals Who She Ditched Brad Pitt for After Bringing Him as Her Date to the 1989 MTV VMAs

Christina Applegate reveals which rock star she left the 1989 MTV VMAs with despite bringing Brad Pitt as her date

NEED TO KNOW

  • She previously was asked about the rumor on Watch What Happens Live in 2015 but wouldn't name the mystery man

  • In her new memoir, Applegate says Pitt was "very mad at me" afterward

Christina Applegateis reflecting on the time she leftBrad Pittin the lurch after bringing him as her date to an awards show.

In her new memoirYou With the Sad Eyes, out now, theDead to Meactress, 54, at one point recalls inviting Pitt to the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles after they'd already been "platonic pals for the longest time."

Applegate, who was 17 at the time and at the peak of herMarried... with Childrensitcom fame, wore a classy Ceil Chapman gown to the ceremony that made her feel so "incredible."

"In fact," she adds in the book, "I felt so powerful and sure of myself for once that when the awards show was over, I left withSebastian Bach, not Brad Pitt."

The actress said she had been eyeing Skid Row frontman Bach, now 57, the whole night. She pointed out that Pitt, now 62, was "still making his way as an actor, and he wasn't yet THE Brad Pitt, the man of so many people's dreams." (The eventual Oscar winner's big break would come with a memorable role in 1991'sThelma & Louise.)

Applegate, who is nowmarried to musician Martyn LeNoble, 56, writes that Pitt "was left to sullenly drive" her mom and a friend home from the event after ditching him for the rock star.

"Not surprisingly, [he] was subsequently very mad at me. We didn't talk for many years after that," writes Applegate, adding, "Eventually, we agreed that I'd been a kid, and though he'd deserved much better, it was time to forgive the child who dumped him for the lead singer of Skid Row."

While onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenback in 2015, Applegateplayed "Plead the Fifth" andwas asked about the rumor that she ditched Pitt at the award show.

Cohen asked Applegate who the other man was that she left Pitt for that night, to which she responded coyly, "How many fifths do I get? ... I have to say it? I don't have to do nothin'!" She confirmed the mystery man was famous but not an actor and that they didn't go on to date after that night. She also said she did not date Pitt after that.

Applegate's new bookYou With the Sad Eyesspans her childhood, past abusive relationships, motherhood, and her experiences with both breast cancer and MS.

"We all have come from somewhere, some places more painful than others, and it's what you do with it, I guess," she told PEOPLE in a recent cover story. "This is not an inspirational book by any means. But it can inspire."

You With the Sad Eyesis out now wherever books are sold.

An Oscar race that looked like a runaway may be a close call, after all

NEW YORK (AP) — Who says to beware the Ides of March?

Associated Press

A March 15Academy Awardsmay feel late. By then, it will be almost a year since"Sinners"sunk its teeth into moviegoers last April. Some nominees have been on the campaign trail since theCannes Film Festivalin May.

But the upside of a prolongedOscarrace has meant some unexpected late drama. Think about the same movies long enough, and minds can change. For months, Paul Thomas Anderson's"One Battle After Another"sailed through awards season, picking up prize after prize. But the wins for "Sinners" and Michael B. Jordan atSunday's Actor Awards— along with some other recent developments — have given the Oscar race what Smoke or Stack might call fresh blood.

An Academy Awards that had looked like a runaway might be a close call, after all. With Oscar voting ending Thursday, let's survey the top categories

Best Picture

WHERE THINGS STAND

"One Battle After Another" has won at theGolden Globes, theBAFTAs, theProducers Guildand theDirectors Guild. But its nearly unblemished record was shaken up at Sunday's Actor Awards (formerly the SAG Awards), where "Sinners" took the top prize. You'd have to have quite a few rounds at the "Sinners" juke joint to convince yourself that anything else has much of a chance.

WHAT HAS THE EDGE

The tea leaves are strongest for Anderson's "One Battle After Another." The Producers Guild, which uses a preferential ballot like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does, is among the most predictive of bellwethers. Their winners have matched the last five years and in eight of the last 10 years.

The actors guild best ensemble prize, on the other hand, has a shaky track record. In the last 31 years, the SAG winner has matched the Oscar champ only 15 times. The win for "Sinners," though, came right in the midst of Oscar voting. It was a good time to show out. So this race feels close to a coin flip, with a Warner Bros. movie on both sides. The awards season resume makes "One Battle After Another" the front-runner. But "Sinners," even witha record-setting 16 Oscar nominations, gets to play the underdog.

Best Actor

WHERE THINGS STAND

This has been one of the most competitive and hard-to-call races of the season. Look at Leonardo DiCaprio. He gives one of the best performances of his career, in the best picture favorite, and he's still a long shot. Instead,Timothée Chalametwas widely perceived as in the lead after early wins at the Globes and the Critics Choice Awards for his frenetic performance in "Marty Supreme." But the BAFTAs muddied the waters (Robert Aramayo, not in the Oscar mix, was the unexpected winner). And "Sinners" star Michael B. Jordan, much to his surprise, won at the Actor Awards.

WHO HAS THE EDGE

Chalamet's maybe meta campaign, full of swagger and braggadocio, rubbed some voters the wrong way. At the same time, many in the academy felt the 30-year-old should have won last year, for his Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown" — a year when he won with the actors guild but lost toAdrien Brody ("The Brutalist")at the Oscars. Chalamet will hope the reverse happens this year. But the academy is notoriously resistant to rewarding young stars. Jordan, 39, isn't much older. But it now suddenly feels like his moment.

Best Actress

WHERE THINGS STAND

Since the fall festival launch of "Hamnet,"Jessie Buckleyhas been the favorite. She's won at the Globes, the BAFTAs and the Actor Awards. Her closest competition is probably Rose Byrne, who won at the Globes in the comedy/musical category for "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You."

WHO HAS THE EDGE

This one's easy. Fortunes have fluctuated in most of the top categories, but Buckley has been entrenched as the front-runner for months.

Best Supporting Actor

WHERE THINGS STAND

Sean Penn, a two-time Oscar winner, has done nearly no campaigning, yet he finds himself the favorite after winning at the Actor Awards and the BAFTAs. But several other nominees remain in the mix.Stellan Skarsgård("Sentimental Value") won at the Globes and is the kind of widely-liked veteran actor the academy likes to reward. But so is Delroy Lindo ("Sinners"), who was a surprise Oscar nominee. In the eyes of many, Lindo has quickly joined the contenders.

WHO HAS THE EDGE

Penn's recent wins put him clearly in the lead, and he might stay there. But this remains a category rife with possibilities. The academy's strong international leanings should help Skarsgård. And it wasn't an accident that when "Sinners" won best ensemble at the Actor Awards, Lindo gave the acceptance speech.

Best Supporting Actress

WHERE THINGS STAND

This category has been all over the map. Teyana Taylor ("One Battle After Another") won at the Globes. Wunmi Mosaku ("Sinners") won at the BAFTAs. And Amy Madigan ("Weapons") won at both the Actor Awards and the Critics Choice Awards.

WHO HAS THE EDGE

Any of those three could win. Two of them — Taylor and Mosaku — have the benefit of co-starring in films the academy obviously loves. "Sinners" and "One Battle After Another" have 29 nominations between them, while "Weapons" has only the one. Yet the 75-year-old Madigan, another celebrated character actor who's been great for decades, has the momentum thanks to her charming Actors Award speech.

Justin Timberlake Files Petition to Stop Release of Body Cam Video from Drunk Driving Arrest, Says It Would Cause 'Irreparable Harm'

Justin Timberlake was arrested on a DWI charge in Sag Harbor, N.Y., on June 18, 2024, and pleaded guilty in September 2024

NEED TO KNOW

  • Timberlake's lawyers said the release of the footage would "subject" him "to public ridicule and harassment, and serve no legitimate public interest"

  • Following his guilty plea, Timberlake was ordered to pay a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge and complete 25 hours of community service at the nonprofit of his choice. His license was suspended for 90 days, and he was required to make a public service announcement about the dangers of driving impaired

Justin Timberlakeis taking legal action to block the release of the police body cam footage from his June 2024 DWI arrest.

Timberlake, 45, was arrested on aDWI chargeafter leaving the American Hotel in Sag Harbor, N.Y., on June 18, 2024. He was initially charged withone count of driving while intoxicated and two citations, one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in the lane. The star's lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., maintained that Timberlake was"not intoxicated"when he was arrested. In September 2024, Timberlakereached a plea deal, PEOPLE confirmed at the time, where he agreed to plead guilty to a lesser offense.

On Monday, March 2, the singer filed a petition in Suffolk County Supreme Court, alleging that releasing the police body camera footage of his arrest would invade his privacy, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

"Public dissemination of this footage would cause severe and irreparable harm to [Timberlake's] personal and professional reputation, subject [Timberlake] to public ridicule and harassment, and serve no legitimate public interest," the petition read.

Timberlake's attorneys, Edward Burke Jr. and Michael J. Del Piano, claim that public distribution of the video would expose the footage inside Timberlake's car, as well as "expose highly personal details unrelated to public oversight of governmental operations."

Timberlake's petition comes after the Sag Harbor Village Police Department, Department Chief Rober Drake and the Village of Sag Harbor received a request for the release of the footage under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

His attorneys claim that with the release of the footage, it would reveal "intimate, highly personal, and sensitive details concerning [Timberlake] and his family, and includes information of medical, familial, otherwise confidential nature that is not necessary to inform the public about governmental operations or the performance of official duties."

Burke and Del Piano then requested the court "enter an emergency stay prohibiting disclosure" of the footage.

His legal counsel requested "an order and judgment" that would prohibit the dissemination of the bodycam footage "in whole or in part" when requested in any FOIL request and by any third party who does not have a court order.

They also requested that Timberlake and/or the court would have the opportunity to "review the body-worn camera footage with proposed redactions to assess the privacy interests." The final request is to grant any "other, further, and different relief" the court may deem.

PEOPLE reached out to Timberlake's attorneys and the Suffolk County Supreme Court for comment.

At the time of the arrest, Timberlake told his arresting officer that he "had one martini" and was following his friends home,according to his arrest report, which was obtained by PEOPLE. An officer observed the singer's 2025 BMW run through a stop sign and fail to stay on the right side of the road, per the report. It also said that Timberlake's "eyes were bloodshot and glassy."

Timberlake was arrested and taken to Sag Harbor Police Headquarters for processing, but he refused multiple times to take a chemical test. He was held overnight and arraigned the following morning.

In September 2024, he agreed toplead guilty to a less serious offenseof driving while impaired after initially being charged with driving while intoxicated. He wasordered to pay a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge, complete 25 hours of community service at the nonprofit of his choice, and have his license suspended for 90 days. He was also ordered to make a public service announcement about the dangers of driving impaired.

Prince Andrew

Ex-Prince Andrew'snickname is resurfacing as diplomats revisit his trade-trip reputation. As per a new report, ex-diplomat Simon Wilson cited "His Buffoon Highness." That moniker is repeating after his arrest. The label links back to his years as a trade envoy, from 2001 to 2011. Major outlets reported he was set to step down. Now, older travel complaints are back in the spotlight amid theformer duke'srecent arrest in Sandringham.

Ex-Prince Andrew's brutal nickname given by diplomats resurfaces, claims report

BBCsaid the former Duke of York took the envoy job in 2001. For context, the BBC said he worked for UK Trade & Investment and did not receive a salary. UK Trade & Investment called it "promoting UK business internationally." It also said he had "unrivalled access" to leaders and executives. Meanwhile, a cable said he spoke "cockily" and "verged on the rude." Some papers called him "Airmiles Andy." Still, his private secretary said the claims were "without foundation."

In turn, Wilson said, "He was rude and arrogant." He added, "The term 'His Buffoon Highness' was used among diplomats."

Meanwhile,The Sun reportdated February 28, 2026, also repeated Ex-Prince Andrew's nickname as HBH/"His Buffoon Highness". It said the former duke made 76 foreign trips from 2001 to 2010. It claimed public costs averaged £51,000 per trip, excluding security. In addition, it said MPs want documents on those trips made public.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck returns to 'The View' after slamming Joy Behar

Elisabeth Hasselbeckis back on"The View,"over a decade after leaving her post at the morning talk show in 2013.

USA TODAY

Hasselbeck,a onetime"Survivor" contestantand current-dayconservative commentator, returned to the show Monday, joining hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro for the "hot topics" segment.

Joy Behar, a "View" titan who does not appear on Mondays, was absent − perhaps for the best given Hasselbeck's comments in 2025 slamming the 83-year-old comedian's criticism ofCarrie Underwood'sperformance at President Donald Trump's second inauguration.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck attends the 4th Annual KLOVE Fan Awards at The Grand Ole Opry House on June 5, 2016, in Nashville.

Rosie O'Donnell calls fight with'The View' co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck a 'set up'

"Civil discourse is not dead. We might have differences of opinion, but we love each other and we're stronger," Hasselbeck said during her appearance March 2. "I actually think for the young people watching it's important to see that … we can hold our positions in one hand, and each other's hand in the other, and be able to just live as Americans with the freedom that we have and speak our hearts and minds."

"We get to do that all week. It might get a little spicy at times, but we do not hate each other, we love each other," she continued. "We have the freedom to do it, and it's important to remind everybody of that."

Following comments from Behar calling Underwood "Un-American" for performing at Trump's 2025 inauguration, Hasselbeck took her former coworker to task, accusing her in a Fox News appearance shortly after of attempting "to attach her name to Carrie Underwood's name so that she maintains relevance because she knows the ship is sinking."

Whether the two are truly ready to bury the hatchet remains to be seen, however, with Behar's return to the table slated for Tuesday.

Hasselbeck is one of several temporary guest hosts scheduled to fill in for Alyssa Farah Griffin, "The View's" current conservative commentator and former Trump White House staffer. Griffin is on maternity leave after welcoming a son earlier this month.
