The Oval Actor Braxton Wells OUTS Alleged Abuse at Tyler Perry Studios: “They Covered It Up”

Actor Braxton Wells, best known for his role on BET’s The Oval, has come forward with explosive allegations of abuse and cover-ups at Tyler Perry Studios. In an emotional and detailed commentary, Wells reveals his personal experience of being sexually abused while working on the hit show — and claims the studio not only ignored it but actively tried to silence him.

Even more disturbing, Braxton alleges that a female actress working on Ruthless — another Tyler Perry production — was also assaulted, and similarly received no support or justice.

This chilling account suggests a possible pattern of misconduct being swept under the rug at a major Black-owned studio that has long been praised for its opportunities and representation. Wells’ bravery in speaking out may open the door for other victims and spark deeper investigations into how allegations are handled behind the scenes.

As this story develops, the question remains:
Will Tyler Perry respond?
