*A Fort Worth woman who accused Tyler Perry of stealing her script and lost a lawsuit over it was threatened online by a fan of the director/actor, according to a police report.
61-year-old Donna West called police Tuesday to report the harassment. In one post, the fan commented “asking Tyler Perry for $20,000 for victim’s murder.”
She told police the harassment began after a February article in the Fort Worth Weekly about her lawsuit against Perry, in which she accused him of stealing. West claimed that Perry stole portions of her play “Fantasy of a Black Woman” to create his 2005 breakthrough film “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.”
She filed the suit in 2007 and lost the case in 2008.

When one of West’s friends posted the article on Facebook, some random Perry fanatic jumped into their conversation. One post stated, “it is clear that you have no knowledge you are a monkey, monkey see monkey do.”
The fan messaged West’s friend with this statement, “I don’t believe it as you can see she has no common sense and tell her for her own good to not to respond ____ her.”
That person even posted on West’s Facebook page, making the threat to kill her.
Although she became quite emotional after reading the threat, West told police she wasn’t going to walk away from her legal fight with Perry. And she has posted on her Facebook page how Perry’s fan had threatened her.
Police have advised West not to communicate with the crazed fan.
