Tyler Perry Allegations

Wallace told Perry on last night’s (Sept. 25) CNN episode, “Over the years, there have been a number of people who say that you’re playing with negative stereotypes of Black men and Black women.”

Spike Lee’s 2009 comments blasting the Madea films as “coonery buffoonery” and insisting that “we can do better” than films like Perry’s were specifically mentioned by the host.

“Emasculating Black men, I’ve heard it all,” Perry told Wallace, adding, “There’s a certain part of our society — especially Black people — in the culture, that they look down on certain things within the culture. For me, I love the movies that I’ve done because they are the people that I grew up with, that I represent.”

 “So when someone says, ‘You’re harkening back to a point in our life that we don’t want to talk about or we don’t want the world to see, you’re dismissing the stories of millions and millions of Black people. And that’s why I think it’s been so successful, because it resonates with a lot of us who know these women and these experiences and Uncle Joe and so-on and so-forth.” Continued Tyler

“What is important to me is that I’m honouring the people that came up and taught and made me who I am.” Perry said, insisting that he isn’t disrespecting anyone in his films.

Tyler Perry Wife And Kids

Gelila Bekele, a model and filmmaker from Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, is not Tyler’s wife, but she has travelled with him for decades. After finishing high school, the latter moved to the United States. While attending the University of California, Berkeley, she was spotted by a modelling recruiter at the age of 19. Ford Models New York and Ford Models Paris launched her modelling career in 2006.

Most people expected Perry and Bekele to marry after being together for a decade and having a son. So, why didn’t they get married? Perry appears to be a very busy man who devotes a great deal of time and attention to his trade, which he carefully considered when it came to marriage. Moreover, despite his aversion to marriage, Perry was head over heels in love with his now ex-girlfriend.
