But let's 38 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: talk about how Lonnie Love is trending. After she took 39 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: to X to offer her advice to Tyler, screen Rant 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: shared on X that Tyler's latest movie, Divorce in the Black, 41 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: got zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Lonnie responded with 42 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: this post. She said, I love that Tyler is paying 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: black actors now. She loves that he's paying black actors. 44 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: She said she wishes he would hire black writers and 45 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: directors who have the experience to help him with his movies. 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: He can improve the movies and make them award worthy 47 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: if he would stop trying to save money by doing 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: the writing and directing himself. Wow. In a twenty twenty interview, 49 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: Tyler Perry admitted that he doesn't hire writers for any 50 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: of his projects. Tyler said, I have no writer's room. 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: Nobody writes any of my work. I write it all. 52 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: So what do you guys think about that? Let's talk 53 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: about it. I mean, do you Tyler hire black writers 54 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: and directors there are plenty of them out there, or 55 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: what's your take on it? Because ty Tyler does and 56 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: has been doing all the work. 57 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: Y'all gonna throw me out in the spot. Okay, let 58 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: me say that I think Careful could be in a movie. 59 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: But let me just be real. I just I'm just 60 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: gonna be as real as I can. I think there's 61 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: some phenomenal writers, and there are there's some phenomenal directors 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: out there that can do the job. I say open 63 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: up the floodgates. I say, let some of those people in. Now, 64 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be as real as I can. That 65 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: was a moment where Tyler was accepting material and I 66 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: went through the formality of sending in a project that 67 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: I thought was going to be incredible. I say, man, 68 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: Tyler's gonna love this. Never I never got a response. 69 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: I don't think it was Tyler. I think it's the 70 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: system that I went through. My I don't think my 71 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: information ever got looked at. So I just don't know 72 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: how that works. So I'm I'm not privy to know 73 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: on all of that, how that works, how that machine works. 74 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: It was very difficult for me and that we never 75 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: discussed it, never talked about it. I don't bring it up. 76 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: If I see him, I don't bring it up. I 77 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: just it just didn't happen. But I do think there 78 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: are good writers that that Tyler should be comfortable using. 79 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: I think there's great directors out there that Tyler could 80 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: be comfortable using. 81 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: The thing is, though, is she's saying, first of all, 82 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: she started with Lonnie Love. I'm glad that he's paying 83 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: access now, So is this is this kind of shady? 84 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: Is she's saying he's cheap, that's why he wants to 85 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: do it all? Or does Tyler want to do it 86 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: all because he can do it all? 87 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: That he has that right to do it all. If 88 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 2: he wants to do it all, he definitely has that right. 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 2: But I definitely commend him on plant the way he 90 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: pays people.
