Criticism

This section needs expansion. He has been widely criticised but this article only cites two people. Also, a couple quips by him does not warrant a "Response" section — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.90.111.115 (talk) 03:35, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well when a person can’t handle the truth, negativity comes about. You messages in everything that you do, are superb to me, but those in denial are having a problem with change as well as understanding and trying to apply it to their everyday lifes scares them. I say terrorize them, it just might lessen the hatred being displayed! Continue to do your thing, Mr Perry. I’ll support you, still. Pharon Donez (talk) 18:38, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you knew who he truly is and what he has done..,you wouldn’t be his loyal fan 2601:47:4C01:4570:EC59:3933:68B:C3D5 (talk) 11:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice to have something concrete instead of rumors and innuendo. I'm not doubting you, but where can I find more concrete(-ish) evidence? 209.6.200.92 (talk) 12:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do people always say negative things about Mr Tyler Perry you haven’t been through what he has gone through to get where He is today stop And think about that everyone has a pass some good and some not so good nonetheless I believe he is a phenomenal man whom came from nothing and created his life and goals and made it an reality showing others you can make it and never give on your goals and dreams I salute you, Mr. Tyler Perry because of you I have written my book. I’m not done with it yet almost there thank you. 2600:6C51:627F:DBC9:1D28:2DA6:BB80:4B28 (talk) 02:50, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop being a fanatic. You can admire his work all you want, but stop acting like he walks on water because he had a hard life and made it big. So didn't a lot of people. People who do good things publicly can still be shitty privately. Plenty of bad people hide in plain sight and do good public deeds to hide their bullshit and people like you are the fuel that keep them going. 209.6.200.92 (talk) 12:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing an edit to be added at the end of the Reception section. Please forgive my formatting!

A Strange Loop Tyler Perry's writing is a central theme in the 2022 Broadway musical, A Strange Loop. The play's main character, Usher, is simultaneously critical of Perry's work and envious of his success, as his mother implores him to write a gospel play like Perry. The show features multiple references to Perry's work, including the musical number “Tyler Perry Writes Real Life” and charicatures of Usher's family members that resemble characters found in Perry's works. Though Perry admitted not having seen the musical, after hearing about it from others he contacted the show's writer, Michael R. Jackson, to joke about "beating [his] ass" and ultimately congratulate him on his Pulitzer prize and the show's success.

@Wiiformii reverted changes most recently, could you revert this most recent vandalism? How can this page be protected against this repeated vandalism? SilverXnoise (talk) 15:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Perry

Do you give money to people who are on your fan page? I believe it's on Facebook. My 86yr.old mother believes that you are going to send her money by Fed 2600:100A:B11C:9BE1:0:29:2C55:9A01 (talk) 13:45, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 12 October 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Explanations: The airstrip mentioned is too short (1000 ft) to be used for real aircrafts. There are videos of him flying his RC planes on that airstrip.

Video: ^[1]

Original: "Perry owns a 2,100-acre (8.5 km2) estate in Douglasville, Georgia, including a 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) châteauesque house, and an airstrip.[111]"

Please Append qualifications below to the above, original statement: "The airstrip is for his giant RC (Radio Controlled) airplanes. As an avid RC hobbyist, his hangar includes many large-scale RC airplanes." Bokeoyaji (talk) 02:57, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. YouTube is not a reliable source. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 17:14, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
