WTF? :: TYLER PERRY FIRES his WRITES after he gets his own STUDIO
POST by NVus
After a glorious weekend (well at least for TYLER PERRY) the light has shine on some shadyness inside the HOUSE OF PAYNE.
Outside four writers who were fired after they tried to get a union contract with Tyler’s Production company as well as Writer’s Guild supporters picketed throughout the event. According to the writers, they have written over a hundred episodes of House Of Payne and were hoping to secure a contract that included health care, pensions and residuals for an upcoming “Meet The Browns” series but Tyler said “no” and sent them on their way”. “Perry doesn’t believe in paying his writers union scale. He believes in being blessed and being blessed means working without benefits and being paid next to zip.” - per email
“It’s very disheartening considering that this is a studio run by African Americans. What Tyler Perry is essentially saying to us is that ‘you’re black and there’s not a lot of opportunities for you so you’ll take what I give you’ – whether it’s fair or not.”
“I feel like I was slapped in the face, like we were used” said writer and WGAW member Teri Brown-Jackson. “We were good enough to create over a hundred episodes, but now when it comes to reaping the benefits of the show being syndicated and having other spin-offs from it, he decides to let us go unless we accept a horrible offer.”
WHATTHEFLUCKKKK…
Come on Tyler without the “LIL’ PEOPLE” you would not be as far as you are…You gotta treat ya staff right
