Tyler Perry Dismisses ‘Highbrow Negroes’ Criticizing His Films
Tyler Perry is shutting down criticism of his films from “highbrow negroes.”
“No, no, no, no, no, you gotta drown all of that out, because if you let somebody talk you out of a place that God has put you in, you are going to find yourself in hell,” Perry told podcast host Keke Palmer. “I know for a fact that what I’m doing is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing, because for everyone who is a critic, I have thousands of — what used to be — emails from people saying, ‘This changed my life. Oh my God, you know me. Oh my God, you saw me. How did you know this about my life and my family?’ That is what is important to me.”
“A large portion of my fans are disenfranchised, who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend,” he continued. “So, you’ve got this highbrow negro who is all up in the air with his nose up looking at everything, then you got people like where I come from, and me, who are grinders, who really know what it’s like. Whose mothers were caregivers for white kids, and were maids, housekeepers…beauticians. Don’t discount these people and say their stories don’t matter. Who are you to be able to say which Black story is important, or should be told? Get out of here with that bullsh*t.”
Perry’s comments come after his film Divorce In The Black received a 0 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Divorce In The Black star Cory Hardrict dismissed the low rating and praised Perry for his work.
“I don’t know nothing about it. I didn’t see that,” Hardrict said. “I mean, the people love the movie and we do it for the people–that’s who I do it for. If the culture’s rocking with it, it’s all love. So it’s fine. But as long as the people see it, my neighborhood see it, South Side, Chicago, L.A. see it, everybody see it, then I’m happy, it’s all love.”
“Shoutout Mr. Perry, I love Mr. Perry, though. That’s my guy. He takes care of his actors, it’s a loving set and we’re gonna do it again,” he added.
