Last week in Georgia, an 88 year old woman and her four year old great granddaughter lost all of their possessions in a fire. Well, Tyler Perry heard about their plight and decided to find them a new place to live and pay for it while their old house is being rebuilt. He has also offered to pay their utility bills for a year and to buy them new furniture. Probably also a collection of all of his movies. These are the kinds of stories I love and I think it is great!
OT: Teena Marie died yesterday. :(
ReplyDeleteTyler Perry had a lot of bad press after it was revealed he refused to hire WGA union writers for all of his shows. I think the loophole was he built his own studio outside of LA in Atlanta. The non-union writers he did hire got paid little and no benefits or residuals. And fired anyone who brought up the WGA.
ReplyDeleteAfter a lot of pressure he finally buckled and hired union workers.
He makes gabillions off his tv,movies and stage plays.
It's nie he did it and good PR. I just don't get the feeling this guy does anything unless he will get a lot of good press over it.
Even if it was just for the good press, I'm glad he helped that family. They wouldn't have much of a chance otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about him, but I bet the family didn't care why he did it. It was Christmas. He's obviously not a complete ass and he's made a few good movies.
ReplyDeleteGood for him. I totally do not get Madea or any of his movies but it was a nice thing he did. I think he also helped some low income kids a few summers ago who had been kicked out of a public pool.
ReplyDeleteKellyLynn FTW.
ReplyDeleteRandom act of kindness, or does he have some kind of connection to her?
ReplyDeleteGood press or not at least someone is helping people who need a hand up. For that I will not slight him.
ReplyDeleteFor how he treated his writers he needs hit with a stick.
I saw this story on the local news. The Coweta County Fire Department deserve a shout out too, as they went way beyond the call of duty, and were asking for donations for this woman and her great-granddaughter (she is raising her) to help them rebuild. They interviewed the lady and she was a sweetie! Good for Tyler Perry for helping her out. It is rumored that he does a whole lot of good around Atlanta anonymously.
ReplyDeleteThat breaks my heart! I'm glad they got out ok & good for Tyler Perry.
ReplyDeletevery nice and interesting post
