Tyler Perry Responds To Reactions Of 'Divorce In The Black' Movie - HP News 

Want to watch Tyler Perry's 'Divorce In The Black'? amzn.to/4eTWxOh

I just don't like how he put men down so much. Give us more movies where a black man is winning.

I once heard a Hollywood executive say that Tyler Perry has the one thing that every filmmaker wants - a loyal audience. As with any film, some will like it some won't. That's actually how it is with any artwork, film, TV show, song, book, etc.

There is enough room in this world for T. Perry's work and anyone else's. As consumers, we have choices. You are free to watch what you want, and others have the same freedom to watch what they want!

This man is living by the motto " "if it ain't broke don't fix it"...I don't know why y'all expect anything less from him 😂😂😂

I may not be a fan of his movies but I will say I love that he gives black actors and actresses that would've otherwise been forgotten or never discovered a platform ❤

All of his actors praise their pay. Let this man cook. Also this movie was able to showcase the acting skills of Cory and Meagan… they were great

I actually enjoyed the movie! it was great. I think that he's doing the right thing by ignoring the negative commentary. It doesn't matter what the naysayers think or say as long as his loyal fanbase enjoys them! Those who don't like his films, should just stop watching. 🤷🏽‍♀

The pastor from this film is actually the best character T.P. has ever written.

say what you want but hes feeding his core and paying top dollar to under appreciated black talent - cant hate that regardless if you like his work or not

sad thing is its 2024 and TP is the only prolific producer providing opps for black actors

As long as folks keep going to see them, Tyler will keep making them. Everything is not for everybody. Go see what YOU like and keep it moving. Tyler has his own audience.

They mother was crazy I know a couple of mothers like that wow.

He has his own style just like any other producer, keep ignoring the hate Tyler!!🥰💪🏽

Be thankful we have someone that’s giving African Americans work. If everyone is complaining then why keep watching his movies. I just wonder if they have the same negative energy when other movies come out

Divorce in the Black is a good movie. The cast was great. ❤️

Responding to non fans is just like thanking your haters. Why give time and space to negativity.

He should ignore the hate. You can't please everyone. When you present all good we say it's not realistic. When you present all bad we say it is stereotypical and shows us in a negativity way. No one wants to see the bad. We'd rather pretend that it doesn't exist. This movie had some of the best acting of all of his movies and I thought it was better than average of his movies. I would have liked to have seen maybe flashbacks of Dallas's childhood and young adult life to better understand his relationship with his mother and his earlier relationship with his wife. I thought Corey Hardrict did a great job.

The movie is number one on Amazon prime right now…people are going to watch his films no matter what

Happy for Corey!!

The most important part is Tyler pays his actors better than “hollywood” and he created an infrastructure. These same critics could never

A Tiger is incapable of changing its stripes, nor should we expect Mr. Perry to change his movie production format! 🤔🐅🐅 👈🏾

The issue with TPs movies is that the characters are always one dimensional. No layers. The spouses are just mean for no reason and as an audience member it’s hard to connect with. In real life, there are ebs and flows in relationships but TP just shows the character in one personality which is unrealistic. Hell, even IKE and Tina had some good moments with one another on screen, between the slaps 🤷🏽‍♀️

To those complaining about Tyler Perry movies stop watching his movies if you don't like them.🤦

From my perspective, this is one of Tyler Perry’s better films.

It was a good movie people pls stop hating!!!

The movie was Good! It told a story about how we lower our standards for someone because we love them and don't love ourselves enough. It proved that it's never to late to love yourself!!

While it wasn’t the best Tyler Perry movie I’ve seen. I did enjoy it. I also like that he’s paying black actors what they’re worth.

The Family That Preys Was Good! The Black Man Won! 😂

I just finished watching it, and I thought it was fantastic! The best thing about it was that it was BELIEVABLE, and the actors, writing and directing made that happen. I’ll be watching that one AGAIN! ❤

1. Seen it. Loved it. 2. People have likes and dislikes. No big deal. 3. All of his movies are not against Black men❤. 4. Definitely, Tyler, keep making movies and keeping people employed. 🎉. If you promised God, He's keeping His promise to you. Be blessed.

Taking the body out the casket was crazy 😧

0:26 Dallas was crazy

This movie was good as heck

He does more for black people than any of the haters

I loved this movie….things happen within the black family and he put some of these things in this movie…Tyler Perry also showed how black families ride for each other whether they are right or wrong…Thanks for this movie…it brought something’s that happened to me within my marriage but I stayed and tried to change him but it didn’t work till I out myself first..

Tyler Perry needs to “Pause” and get some writers, editors, & producers! He needs to tell Winston Jerome to get out of his head & he needs to get some real help! 😂😂😂😂

He should continue doing what hes doing. You can never please everybody and the crabs in the barrel mentality that pervades our people is real. He's successful at what he does & has millions of positive fans who love and support his work . Ignore the haters Mr. Perry and keep on living and having a successful, prosperous life that you worked hard to achieve while doing the good works of equity that you do. Plus who cares about the trolls and unwarranted haters when you can just delete their words of vitriol. Press on Tyler Perry and live your life. They'll be awight.❤😊👍🏾 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽💯🙋🏾‍♀️

And to the actors in the movie keep up the good work of portraying us in this manner. GET THAT BAG ! YOU EARNED IT ! Job well done.

I scrolled past that title a couple times on Amazon Prime. Had no idea it was a TP movie. I'll watch now that I know. His dramas are usually pretty good.

This was a good movie. This was probably one of the best he's done. I am grateful for the cinema he produces consistently, the storylines he highlights, and the fact that he treats the talent well. I have my own criticism of the plot and development of characters, but it has improved. Keep going, TP! I have watched movies from Bollywood and Nollywood, whose directors develop similarly over time. It takes time, but I am happy with the growth in what is produced. I wonder if anyone ever thinks about how telling these stories has given people hope and the strength to leave certain situations......

I watched the first scene and turned that shit off and unsubscribed from Prime

I loved the movie, he should continue making his films.

I LIKE DIVORCE IN THE BLACK & MEA CULPA. THEY WERE GOOD MOVIES AND CAUTIONARY TALES.

I think Tyler Perry should ignore the haters and continue to make content for his loyal followers. After all he made it to the point he has his own movie studio and pays the black actors more money than the so called mainstream producers. 👏🏾👏🏾

I'm on Year 19 of NEVER seeing one Tyler Perry movie. I'm in the South and didn't hear about him until "them folks" started saying Hellur or whatever and saying it was Shenaynay. Once I looked it up and saw a brotha dressed as Big Momma, I made my decision not to support his films. His philanthropy is amazing though.

I think black directors should take notes from directors like Tyler Perry: If one day you wake up to get a phone call from Fox News to ask you about your life, and how you overcome your obstacles from nothing and became something, you must be doing something wrong at the drawing board. You need to go back, erase, and go over it again.

I totally agree with your statement. If you’re a TP fan or typically enjoy his work, then you’ll enjoy this film. However, if you weren’t already a fan or typically dislike his work, this won’t make you become a fan. In my case, fan or not, I base my feelings on a project by project scenario. I like this movie.

If you don’t like his movies STOP WATCHING! He is paying Black Actors more than anyone! Give him some credit!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤this movie and all the movies he makes, truth it’s about the truth and the reality of life that a lot of us women and men go through with marriages and relationships. I know a fact because that movie represent my marriage sad but it’s true. A lot of us try to suppress what we’ve been through in our lives, which the reality is, it’s not good, we’ve been through it. We grow through it as the Bible said yay though walk through the valley of the shadow of death we go through it !!thank you Tyler Perry love this movie.🙏❤️

I’m glad they were paid well!

I'm not a fan of every Tyler Perry movie, but Divorce in the Black was a good movie. Personally, I'm wondering if the "powers that be" are not happy with Tyler's status and are "planting" negative narrative(s) within our community to foster "crabs in a bucket" mentality against him. 🤔

My people are working… Tyler is killing the game!! I rather enjoyed the movie! ☺️

I enjoyed this film from Tyler Perry. It was so real and deep. It shows that if a man is not healed from past traumas it will carry over into adulthood and relationships. What I enjoyed about the character of Meagan Good was a woman like many BW who remains in a relationship to change a man or situation when they have no control over it, and is well aware of the background of the family because you're not just marrying the person, you're also marrying the family, and that goes for both genders. Corey and Megan Good played the hell out of their character, and I am glad Tyler allowed them to be in his movie. People could say what they want, but Tyler has shown he is grassroots and provided opportunities for many Black Americans.

Keep ignoring haters! We know his style by now. If you don’t like or at least you contributed to the streams. It’s really a blessing that he’s able to pay black actors as well

Real question is after John singleton passed what happened to real deep hood movies? Or maybe I haven’t looked that hard. But man do I miss a good hood movie, that’s not a tubi special.

Cory Hardrick was very good! He put Charles McCarter to shame! Diary of a Mad Black Woman remake!

All these people complaining about Tyler Perry on social media have no friends. Before social media, you had to actually have someone close by to vent these insignificant thoughts . Now people just get online and start diarrhea’ing useless opinions about people they don’t like. Y’all already know what time it is with his material before it even comes out. I hope TP puts out ten more movies this year and a Madea’s Greatest Hits album just get these losers aggravated.

Every Black man in Tyler Perry movies acts like David Alan Grier in Tales from the hood 😂

Tyler slept in cars, starred out with brilliant, hilarious SKITS, back off this man, a genious discovered, backed him, and he worked wonders, totally SUCCESSFUL in so many LAYERS. investments, real estate anthropologist and consistent in his dreams, Proud of you Tyler, keep workin it

I never ever listen to critics I am intelligent and I use good judgment. Critics try to influence the public also trying to become relevant.

Remember when Spike Lee brought up issues with Tyler Perry and his movies, a lot of Black people said he was wrong and to stay in his lane. In all actuality, he saw what was coming down the pipeline and was right

Funny how people criticize Tyler Perry’s movies, but be the main people referring trash ass movies on TUBI 100x’s worse than any Tyler Perry movie..

He should absolutely ignore the hate and criticism when it comes to his films because to me he’s done more good movies than bad and on top of that he’s continuing to give black actors jobs and for that reason, I will continue to support him. I haven’t watched this new movie yet I’ll just have to see for myself for an opinion on it.

I’m a Lifetime and Hallmark type of lady, so I liked the movie….I also liked Why Did I Get Married…and II. What the problem?! 🤷🏾‍♀️

These Crabs are determined to pull another back down in that bucket. This is all comedy hype does, attempt to pull others down while claiming to be for us. You're only for us, if we arent ahead of you

Tyler Perry have daddy issues😂

Don't understand the hate on Tyler Perry movie it the same as those lifetime movies... Handled your business Tyler Perry and ignored the haters....

You are not going to please everyone no matter what the storyline of a movie is, TP don’t listen to critics he just do what he do, and I applaud him , some gona love it some gona hat it.. do you tyler

Why is everyone attacking this brother for the films he makes, if you don't like the films he is making, then making your own fcking films.

The crab in the barrel mentality really needs to cease amongst us for real!

Put the personal feeling aside and actually watch the movie. It was absolutely exceptional. It gave me a twist of Ike and Tina Turner and ENOUGH. I enjoyed it. ❤

I liked it very much. I looked at it as a movie. Did not take it personally, because it does not reflect my life. It’s a movie. Damn. What I did not like was Cory acting that didn’t seem real. Meagan did her thing, and she seem realistic

Leave him alone we need Black Jobs!!

I enjoyed it. I went in with a fair amount of trepidation but I gave it a chance and it was cool.

I watched it last night and it was definitely not the worst movie yet. I had fun watching it. I don’t think he should address the hate. He clearly has a fan base so he should continue making films for the people who watch them. The same way certain artists isn’t for everyone but people love their music

It's a movie something to watch. It's not that serious. If you don't like it, don't watch it. It's really that simple.

Great Movie!!! Ladies need to keep a piece to have some peace!!!❤

Tyler Perry isn't my go too for a show .But his fans are happy and so are the actors so that's a win , he doesn't need to address the ones who dislikes the movie , because no matter what he says they won't change their minds , so congratulations to him

He’s given so much hope and recognition to so many black actors and actresses they can hate all they want it may have similar plots but it all has teachings and lessons to learn still in this generation. If the haters don’t like his films they can stick with simple Hollywood no one forcing them to watch his films they choose to watch knowing how his films are

Tyler has a fan base who loves his work and content, the man is a billionaire, why should he change up his formula, plus I like that he does pay his black act and actresses good money.

honestly I didn't understand the plot. the opening scene promised some MESS but it was boring to me and the plot was kind of dumb

Don’t worry about the haters. Take all type of people make the world go around good in the bad

ATP, I could care less. Why complain about his movies if you’re going to keep watching them. He has no reason to stop.

If you don’t like Tyler Perry movies then *STOP WATCHING IT* lmao the community has had this same conversation over and over for the last 20 years.

Well... I'm about to check it out RIGHT NOW as a type! I didn't know it came out on prime... soooo .... wish me luck! ... I'll be back with my commentary soon!..

The script is horrible along with the premise of this movie. It’s all over the place trying to find its own way but fails miserably. This movie also suffers from his cookie cutter blueprint.

I loved the movie! ❤️Looking for a strong black male, what about her Dad, her best friend’s husband, her childhood friend,the men in the church!!!!? All good Black men! Like every other race we have cruddy Black men/women too. Everyone has good and bad! But it’s a movie about ‘Divorce’ as a BW who managed in the court system watching this everyday, there is Rarely a hero in the scenario. The Heroes are the Black Men/Women who are NOT divorced and make good choices when selecting a spouse!!! BTW - White Divorce is just as Ugly but that would call for an all white ‘cast’ . We need to heal our own and we do that by facing the truth and doing better. If we HEAL our men, we heal the family, if we heal the family, we heal the race! See the Bigger picture! She said in the movie, she was tired of living in the RED, she was ready to be in the Black. Thus the name of the movie Divorce in the Black. Being in the Red is a financial term which means in the ‘negative’. SHE WORKED IN A BANK.

Tyler Perry does not go home with any of those people. He should not care what they say. They’re are critics everywhere even in your house.😮

Tyler knows how to get a reaction out of people

Two things can be true at the same time. Horrible writing ⚖️ being paid well 🤷🏾‍♂️

Most people that critique Tyler movies are not watching the movie ,, they watching themselves in the mirror!!!

Tyler doesn’t have to change because he has a big following. He knows his audience and what they like. His movies aren’t made for everybody to like. If you don’t like Tyler Perry, you don’t have to watch his films💯

I stopped watching Perry movies years ago and was officially done with him with that tv show Sistahs.

He has two speeds: Comedy Black women struggle Don’t expect steak from a pastry chef . Let him cook. Choose where u eat wisely. If few black men watch his content because it’s not appealing, leave it. He has a target audience. Continue to stand strong in your masculine frame.

I can relate to this movie, I think that’s why I liked it. I’ve been divorced from my ex husband who was and still is an abusive controlling narcissist for the past 10 years. Black men like Dallas really exist and they’re hurt from childhood. My ex husband witnessed his dad beating his mother to the point he punctured her arteries. His parents were both on drugs really bad when he was growing up. He’s a hurt person and it’s caused him to be the way he is.

Some of these folks probably never even watched the movie 🍿! And if you watch it, you’ll know it was good! The opening scene is a critique on black family and responsibility!

Why does it always seem like Perry paints his pictures with a broad brush on a dark black canvas? 🤔

This movie topic is so played. How many black men who stalk and beat their women movies do we need. TP needs to just go back to his plays, because his movies are played.

This is the wonderful thing about choices, don’t watch his movies if you’re not a fan.
