TYLER PERRY makes LAWYER RICH BABY!

Tyler Perry, who owns Tyler Perry Studios (you go boy!) has finally came to a SMART agreement with
the Writers Guild of America! It took like five months on the table (your lawyer thanks you for sending his grand-grand children and a couple of dogs to college) to come to an agreement. Big shout-out to Vic Bulluck, executive director of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau who helped make this happen.”

The incredible Perry had this to say:

"We are pleased to have come to a resolution with the WGA, and thank the NAACP for their support during negotiations. We look forward to many years working with the talented writers who are members of the Guild."

Tyler continued: "With a continued focus on fostering young, diverse talent, we are eager to continue our dialogue with the WGA to dramatically increase the number of minority writers working in Hollywood today."

The contract with the WGA was the last union agreement outstanding for Tyler Perry Studios, which had previously brokered deals with the Teamsters, IATSE, SAG, DGA, and others. Acknowledging that some of the writers on the TBS series House of Payne and Meet the Browns will not be returning, Perry thanked them for their services and wished them well in their future endeavors.

Check this, Tyler Perry Studios is 100% financed by Tyler Perry in an entrepreneurial endeavor, and is not backed by a studio or other investors. Yes, the man owns it all!

The studio produces both Meet the Browns and House of Payne, as well as several feature films a year including the upcoming Madea Goes to Jail. Perry recently announced the formation of another production arm, 34th Street Films, which will develop projects written and directed by talent other than Perry under the Tyler Perry brand.

I tell you, it’s enough to make you want to put on a dress, a gray wig and go make millions.

We ain’t mad at-jah Perry, the opposite, much-respect!
