When I was a kid in Houston I used to hear on the radio (Majic 102) advertising a play named ‘Diary Of A Mad Black Woman’ all the time(they would also play small excerpts from it). So I thought I was crazy when this movie came out and I was already familiar with it. This was like in the late 80s or early 90s. I like Tyler Perry but I have to say I think this lady is telling the truth and Tyler just put a little spin on this and called it his own.

Can’t say I’m a big Tyler fan either, but I’m with Flawdagurl on this one. Why is there nothing in the article about how Diary was originally a play, first staged in 2001?? And is there any proof Tyler was ever in Dallas back in 1991? He still lived in New Orleans back then. And if he allegedly stole this woman’s play, why did he wait ten years to do it–? Too many things don’t add up here…

@Sam

There’s nothing wrong with Tyler Perry Movies, I guess some of you don’t have brains enough to comprehend.

Actually that’s the problem with Tyler Perry’s movies—you DON’T need brains to comprehend.

Perry’s movies cater to the black lower class (ghetto, in other words) and the church-going crowd. Sorry if that offends some of you, but the truth hurts.

I am not a fan of Tyler’s either, his movies and plays are for the non-thinking. the only thing he was smart enough to do was to market his material to uneducated black folks, that is the truth.

the man was homeless now he has cash everybody wants a piece. Why wasnt she suing him for the play when it came out in 2001? If he didnt do so well and never made a movie she would be nowhere to be heard of.Some people cant stand to see others doing good and what woman hasnt tyer p. based his story on?

I believe he stole that ish although for the life of me I can’t imagine why anyone would want to take credit for that ish that Perry produces.

Hopefully President Obama will outlaw coonin’ and bafoonin’ so we’ll never have to see another Tyler Perry production again.
