Actor Christian Keys, the handsome man who is best known for starring in Tyler Perry’s stage films movies and tv shows, is claiming that he has been abused …. by a rich and powerful “gatekeeper” in the industry. Media Take Out learned that Christian has not yet named the man whom he claims abused him.
Christian made an explosive video, where he claims that he has a lawyer, and enough evidence to bring down the unnamed beloved wealthy gatekeeper. And Media Take Out suspects that Christian is looking for a Cassie style 9 figure multi-million dollar payout to keep quiet.
Christian says that the man who abused him is a man that he considered a brother, friend and mentor. He added that the alleged abuser is “deified” by the community, and he believes he will immediately be crucified for speaking out bc of how he is cherished as this “deity”
He claims that he wanted to go back to Michigan around 2008/2009 because – according to Christian – work was slow, & the work that was being offered “came with a side of penis” & he wasn’t going for it.
WHAAAAAT!!
Christian says he has receipts, including voice recordings of the alleged abuser offering him money to see him n****.” The receipts also allegedly reveal all the other male celebrities that the abuser had “on his payroll” whom the abuser claims are paid six figures to “grab their ankles” whenever he asks.

And Christian is looking for a CASSIE STYLE PAYOUT!!
Christian says that a police report will be filed, and that he’s in talks with his attorney and plans to turn over all recordings of the harassment over to the authorities

Christian says that the abuser tried to climb into bed with him, and when Christian refused his advances – the powerful wealthy abuser tried to grab his penis TWICE on the way out.
Christian added that he regrets not speaking up sooner bc of how many other young men over the years have prob been harassed & gave in because they needed an opportunity that bad (he starts to tear up on this part).
