Tyler Perry Rejecting Social Media Criticism of his All-White Cast

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on December 31, 2016 at 10:00pm

Tyler Perry is known for creating opportunities for black actors. But recently the African-American filmmaker weathered a backlash for assembling an all-white starring cast for the TLC drama series “Too Close to Home.”

Perry rejects the criticism, much of it on social media. Some questioned his casting choices, with one calling the show an “all time low” for the producer when the series aired this year.

But by the end of the season, those harsh words turned mostly into praise of the series.

Others might have acquiesced to Winfrey. But not Perry.
