Christian
Keyes,
an
actor
and
model
who
has
several
credits
in
both
film
and
television,
revealed
that
a
powerful
figure
in
the
industry
sexually
harassed
him
for
years.
Keyes,
a
Michigan
native,
made
his
film
debut
in
Tyler
Perry‘s
Diary
Of
A
Mad
Black
Woman
along
with
other
productions
Perry
was
involved
in.
Via
an
Instagram
Live
video,
Christian
Keyes,
48,
shared
chilling
details
of
what
he
allegedly
endured
at
the
hands
of
the
unnamed
person
on
Friday
(December
15).
In
the
video,
Keyes
explained
that
he
was
propositioned
by
the
individual
several
times
with
requests
to
remove
his
clothing
for
money
or
visit
the
person’s
home
after
auditions.
In
the
video,
Keyes
clearly
states
that
he
didn’t
take
the
bait
or
engage
in
any
activity
to
gain
favor
with
the
person
who
allegedly
pressured
and
sexually
harassed
him.
While
he
didn’t
name
the
person
in
question,
Keyes
claims
to
have
recordings
that
back
up
his
story.
“The
good
news
is
that
they
don’t
even
have
to
believe
me.
Hopefully
they
do,
but
if
they
don’t,
they
can
hear
this
person.
Since
the
sexual
harassment
started,
I’ve
carried
many
recorder
devices
on
me:
keychains,
pens,
thumb
drives,
all
of
the
above,”
Keyes
said.
Keyes
went
on
to
say
that
he
wants
to
“air
that
sh*t”
out
because
the
person
he
is
accusing
of
harassment
is
a
beloved
figure
in
the
industry
and
has
several
supportive
fans.
Further,
Keyes
said
that
the
perpetrator
of
the
alleged
harassment
told
him
that
he
had
other
men
on
the
payroll
who
heeded
their
beck
and
call
in
a
bid
to
get
him
to
follow
suit.
On
Twitter,
Tyler
Perry
as
mentioned
above,
saw
his
name
trending
and
given
the
fact
that
Christian
Keyes
got
his
start
with
Perry,
folks
online
are
connecting
unconfirmed
dots
on
their
own.
Others
one
mentioned
Robert
Smith
and
Sean
“Diddy”
Combs
as
the
mystery
figure.
We’ve
got
reactions
below.

IG
Live
session
in
question
