The former host of The Real slammed the media mogul for not hiring more Black writers and directors and accused him of being stingy with his resources.

Loni Love made the address on X (formerly Twitter) after Tyler Perry’s latest project failed to perform up to critics’ standards. The comic reposted a report about the Amazon Prime movie Divorce In The Black, starring Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict, and how it received a “shocking and exceedingly rare 0%” on Rotten Tomatoes. As a caption to the post, Loni Love wrote:

In case you’re unfamiliar, Tyler Perry’s choice to write and direct the majority of his projects on his own has faced continued criticism in the latter half of his career. Back in 2020, the Madea franchise creator caught backlash after revealing he was writing many of the episodes for his TV projects, such as his drama series Sistas, by himself.
