Sometimes I will stop and write letters to all of you just to let you know what’s going on with me or even just to say thank you. Some of them are my experiences from day to day and some are about what I’m doing next or just pages from my journal. I’m sorry that I don’t write often, but because I write all of them myself, and with my schedule… well you know how it is.

So, if you want to get them emailed to you personally, just sign up for the mailing list at the bottom of this page. I appreciate you.

I personally don't think it's fair that someone as rich as her can steal another person's dream spot. There are tons of people in this world who just "want to act" or "just want to sing" and their dreams don't come true like that. This is Whitney Houston's daughter, this girl doesn't need to do another thing in her life. Her life has been fantastic enough from birth. Tyler you struggled to get into this business. You wasn't just given a part just because. It saddens me to see this. Tyler I normally agree with all your work and support your movies. This time I must say, I turn the other way. No longer will I support. View More: Maria Thompskin, July 20, 2012, 9:08 p.m.
Tyler Perry, WOW!!! I have no idea how you have remained calm through this but I have just read 3 pages of comments from so called "grown folks" and I am blown away how these people have let this one girl get their emotions all out of wack. Kim Kardashian is NOT God!! She is just a person just like the rest of us who I am QUITE SURE have done some nasty things is our past it just wasnt put out for the world to see....but GOD SAW AND HE KNOWS and could've allowed our business to be put on front street. But some of us get so "saved" that we forget I slept around too, I made stupid decisions, I drank, I smoked, whatever the case was ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY!! I see no reason to boycott or choose to not support anything else that Tyler does. It's ridiculous! What if God chose not to bless us because of our past and punish us instead? Think about carefully...alot if not most of us would be sitting in a padded room somewhere wearing a jacket that makes you hug yourself. But Im soooo glad God is not like MAN! He forgives but we who are "supposed to be like him" choose to judge and persecute. I am amazed by the ignorance displayed in majority of the comments I read. Some of you even resorted to using profanity?!? REALLY??! Come on, it is really not that deep. Some of you need to brush the dust off your bible and remind yourself of the forgiveness of our Savior. Remember the woman caught in the VERY ACT of adultery and by law should have been stoned and Jesus himself said " He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." All of them left one by one, none of them could comdemn her and Jesus said to the woman that he also would not comdemn her and to go and sin more. If you need another example the criminal being crucified with Jesus asked him to remember him when he came into His kingdom and without hesitation or an assessment of his past Jesus said that "this day shalt thou be with me in paradise." There are sooo many others I could go on and on and on. Just understand that when God forgives that's the END of it and he doesn't bring it up again, he casts as far as the east is from the west. LET IT GO PEOPLE! Kim Kardashian has done nothing to any of you saying such harsh things about her. Why don't you pray for her (remember? the same way someone prayed for you?) that God will save and deliver her so that she can be used for His glory...because He can because HE IS GOD not any of you. You have neither a Heaven or H*** to put her in, just secure your seat in the kingdom. Because despite all our mayhem and foolishness He still loved on us! Check yourselves and get the beam out of your own eye. Sorry Tyler, I just had to go in on these folks just a little bit LOL! I still love and support you because you are letting your light shine by giving those a chance who others turn away just like someone we know named JESUS!! Peace and Blessings to you!! (praying for your strength as well) Christa ;) View More: Christa, Nov. 18, 2011, 3:46 a.m.
Sorry to hear that. God is telling you som ething. Sit down!!!!! You had some competition huh? I'm going to see my other baby daddies, brian mcknight and joe. I would like to see cede, and r kelly.... And a few others! Its going down in texas! Its always something to do! Get some rest! I paid $75 a ticket a few years ago when you said it was madeas last play. You owe me $400 or something! Now I can get the scsi for $7.50 at walmart on sale!! 7 really??? I have nothing is playing by whitney as I type last time it was donny hathaway. I'll dedicate this song to you also big country! :) I just had to throw some silly in my message. I have a ?. 1800 choke that hoe! Why? Why you make that song? I was watching the movie the other day and that song didn't sound anointed by god. The devil may have chosen it but god ain't nowhere in that's! A woman is being choked now and she's not laughing neither are her children. View More: Fee fee, Texas Sept. 18, 2012, 10:28 p.m.
Tyler, I commend you for your stand and your heart to bring healing to a community/my community that has been hit by divorce, abuse, drugs, neglect and the like! But I'm not sure I agree with you keeping Kim Kardashian in your movie. I don't beleive she married for love, nor do I think she cares about anyone other than herself. Is there hope for all? Yes. Should she be given a chance? Yes. But I also believe this might be a good opportunity for her to realize that you can't do people and marriage any kind of way. Maybe a slow d** from the top will bring her back to reality! Of course you will do what you want, but be ready if your fans don't like the decision you make! ~Tera View More: Tera, Los Angeles Nov. 17, 2011, 12:28 a.m.
GOD bless you!!!!.....You don't know how much I needed the email you sent today. I am a 38 yr old mother of 3 who in December 2010 was diagnosed with non hodgkins and hodgkins, and a low grade bone cancer. I have been cancer free for one year. No one in my family has a has been or is a homowner but I am and no one in my family has a degree but I am on my way. I wanted to break the cycle but got side tracked with health issues. I was actually thinking about quiting school because I was giving up on myself and going against GOD in a way. I was thinking why continue with school, I'm too old to start a new career is what people have been telling me and in the back of my mind I've been telling myself that the cancer may come back and kill me anyway. Receiving this email today is what I needed to push me forth. I should have realize that GOD pulled me through for a reason.............thank you so much View More: June Hamilton-Dawson, Charleston, SC July 30, 2012, 3:45 p.m.
So you made an erratic traffic maneuver, you were pulled over, you had tinted windows and made sudden movements in front of police officers…and then they let you go because you were famous? You really know how to relate to the common man. Good thing you put your two cents in about the terrible killing of a young man and made it about how you are allowed to drive poorly.

Just heard about your loss, although i haven't known you for long, but i know within this short time of my knowing you, i have come to like you, and i know that just like you came out of you childhood abuse and overcome it, so shall you overcome this grief that you feel with the help of God, i feel your pain and the loneliness you feel right now, wish i could help you come out of it but i am far away and all i can do is pray and wish you well.

Due To Circumstances That I Can't Control...

Unfortunately, due to circumstances that I can't control, we've had to cancel this leg of the Madea Gets A Job tour.

Here's why. I set a ticket price for the show starting at $25. The reason I set the price so low is so that everyone could get a chance to come out and see the show. I know how tight things are right now. I GET IT! I do not tour to make a living, I tour because I love staying connected to all of you. I love seeing your faces, hearing you laugh and seeing you enjoy yourselves. It gives me great joy. Even though it's a lot of work, I really don't mind doing it. Because of that, what I do is make sure that the promoter sets a reasonable ticket price and the prices are $25, $45 and $65. Even though I set these prices so that they are affordable, fees are added that are out of my control and the price of the tickets can almost double. Add to that, when you go online looking for tickets, IN LOTS OF CASES, you are being led to a bootlegger and you don't even know it. There are a lot of ticket bootleggers and scalpers that buy lots of shows and sell them to the public for double, sometimes triple the price. I've been dealing with this for years but now with the internet I've never seen it this bad.

Also, there are some horrible people who are pretending to be me or representing me on Facebook and charging people money to do a meet and greet on the tour. They are telling people that they are me or working for me and charging them $150 for a meet and greet after the play. DON'T FALL FOR THIS!! That's not me.

This is so frustrating! Why are people so evil? Why can't people just get legitimate jobs and stop trying to do the wrong thing all the time? If they put the same amount of energy into doing the right thing as they do in doing the wrong thing they could make it. It's so sad.

To all of you who have bought tickets and made plans to be there I am so sorry. I really am but my hands are tied.

This was the last live Madea tour and I'm super sorry that you won't get to see it live. All refunds should be given back to you.

OMG, I was sooooo looking forward to the play. I have even picked out my cloths for the show but I can truly understand where you are coming from. People can be so stupid at times but I still love me some Tyler and Madea. I am a big fan and always go for what's right. Take care and God Bless You.

Tyler, I, too am disappointed to know that my mother that lives in Fayetteville, NC and myself, living in the Bay Area, CA will not get to see you up close and personal this one last time. My mom, age 59, doesn't have a life full of social activities or money to match, but every since Fayetteville was added to your playlist, I make sure I get a ticket for her and surprise her with it in the mail. I try to 'give back' to the lady that raised me. I'm not sure how many people have gotten sucked into bogus tickets, backstage meet & greets (thousands I'm sure), but I'm sure that you feel equally as bad for them when they've lost hard earned money. At the end of the show, we all know you have to pack up and move on to the next city. I think I speak for everyone here-we don't only want to see you on the big movie screen or on our home tv's. It sure was a beautiful thing to have you in our hometown, interjecting little things in the play that only a native of the city could have told you about. Madea once said, "God can take care of folks far better than you can". So, don't worry, all those people doing all those evil things will have to answer for their wrongdoings. ONCE THE DUST HAS SETTLED, AND YOUR SOUL IS MORE AT EASE WITH IT ALL, PLEASE CONSIDER TOURING YOUR INSPIRATIONAL PLAYS AGAIN, THAT ALWAYS SEEMED TO DELIVER A TAKE-AWAY MESSAGE!

I support the cancellation. I am very glad that Tyler Perry has made a stand against those who have tried to steal from the pockets of others by taking advantage of them. I personally paid $274 for 8 tickets for my family and friends which is being refunded by Colonial Arena. I am willing to pay a fair price for tickets. I believe the amount I paid was fair. It is disconcerting to see the level of greed that causes people to charge excessively for tickets. Thank you again Tyler for doing what others would not have done. This is truly commendable. -----Rissa D.

H*** to the no!! Now Tyler, you better put on your wig, put on your support hose, and put on your big girl panties, because your b*** needs to be in Columbia on October 13th. Now baby, we love you too much to let the troubles and tiresome, trifling people of the world get in our way. Now, recall the cancellation and make us all laugh. Lord knows we need it! ps - I love you, I think you're medicine for the soul.

It is down right shameful that people have to resort to such drastic measures to make a buck! Why can't they earn their money legitimately? Oh well, such as life, I guess.

Tyler, I decided to post again because I have been reading some of the posts from other fans. You sent out warnings and advised people about the tickets and prices ( that video was so funny) in the end we, your fans have the choice to make. It sounds like so many of your fans would do whatever it takes to get tickets because they love you and sometimes need the encouragement and laughter ( a special hiatus from everyday life that is full of joy and excitement) you bring into our lives with these plays. I read once, or twice, or maybe more times than that how your fans and support mean so much to you that you can't say it enough how much. We, your fans have that same problem but for a different reason our relationship with you is even steven. We support you and you bless us with your gift, no one looses. I said it before please don't punish the good (your fans) for what the bad (bootleggers,scammers liars,etc) has done. Your courage and determination not to let anyone or anything dictate or control what you do are two of the most inspiring things about you. It doesn't sound like you to quit so easily???!!! I will be in prayer about the bootlegging issue ...but again we make the choices on where to purchase our tickets. Warning us is all you can do untill you find another way which, I know you are thinking hard about right now. I will continue to love and support you and your work no matter what but, God doesn't punish us for what evildoers do so, imitate the father. You still can have the ability to make the decision to do what you want to no matter what's going on or whois doing it. Sincerely, StephanieT

  I totally agree with Stephanie T....it's hurtful to know that the good has to suffer...Tyler you are an amazing inspiration to those who support you...I am a living testimony...I felt like I could not go on with the drama that was going on in my Life and I wanted to end it, but finding my Faith again, help from family and watching your plays and movies...got me back on track...But like I said you have my support in whatever you decide but just hoping you reconsider...I just want to say Thank you..God Bless! So, I guess I will have to wait for you to make the movie "Madea Gets a Job"...hint hint....lol Got to keep the sense of humor to keep from crying

I call BS on cancelling the tour. I have been a Tyler perry/Madea fan for a number of years. I have every play, movie and your book by Tyler Perry. However, after this I will not support you anymore. The last Madea play that was touring was cancelled on the "last leg" as well. If you commit to do something you should s**** to it. What about all of your "fans" that are out money that they can never recover from scalpers? (I can recover my money for tickets)Don't forget where you started Mr Perry do not let the money and "status" go to your head! Because just as sure as you made it to the top you can fall to the bottom . These actions do not go along with everything that your plays convey to people. I am very disappointed in you not in the play being cancelled but in your excuses.

Hi Mr. Perry, I was very upset about the news of you canceling the Madea play, I was preparing to be there on next week Sept 28. in Mobile, Al for my birthday. I have never been to one of your plays but I am a real big fan I buy all your movies and plays. However the reason I'm posting this comment because I purchase my ticket at a ticketmaster retail location and I'm having the most terrible time with receiving my money back. I'm a single mother and I can't afford to just give away almost 40.00 dollars. So I think the scammers are Ticketmaster and Walmart too, They know the show has been cancelled and the tickets have barcodes and all types of numbers on them I know they can be trace or scan its CRAZY....
