Tyler Perry’s “Divorce in the Black” Sparks Controversy and Criticism

Tyler Perry’s latest film, “Divorce in the Black,” has sparked controversy and criticism like never before. With a 0 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and a bizarre opening scene involving a Mo’Nique clone and a former Beyoncé in-law, viewers are left scratching their heads in disbelief.

Despite the backlash, Tyler Perry remains a polarizing figure in Hollywood. Known for his prolific output of films featuring predominantly Black casts, Perry has been both praised and condemned for perpetuating stereotypes and tropes in his work. While some actors credit Perry for giving them early opportunities in their careers, others criticize his lack of diversity in storytelling and reliance on outdated narratives.

In a recent podcast interview, Perry dismissed his critics as “Highbrow Negroes” who demand a higher standard of filmmaking. His refusal to collaborate with a writers room and his insistence on maintaining creative control have only fueled the debate surrounding his work.

As the backlash against “Divorce in the Black” continues to grow, many are questioning Perry’s future in the industry. While he may have amassed a fortune and a loyal fan base, the tide seems to be turning against him. With calls for more diversity and representation in Black storytelling, Perry’s outdated approach may no longer resonate with audiences.

Whether Tyler Perry can adapt to the changing landscape of Hollywood remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the clock is ticking for the controversial filmmaker, and he may need to rethink his approach if he wants to stay relevant in an ever-evolving industry.
