As reported by The YBF, during an interview with Hello Beautiful, Tyler and “A Fall From Grace” star Crystal Fox recall how they had a “knock down, drag out argument about the wigs in one of the scenes.”
“In one of the scenes, it was very emotional for her [Crystal],” Tyler said.
As a woman of color, “our hair is part of the journey,” Crystal noted.
“I think hair is very, very important, but figure that sh*t out before we go on camera is my whole thing,” Tyler responded. “As long as y’all figured it out before it’s time to shoot, I’m good. I don’t got time to waste five hours and spend spending $10 million to figure out which curl is better for you.”
Tyler also addressed fans who are fed up with his portrayals of the culture and capitalizing on Black women’s pain and trauma.
“I’m always trying to send a message that you don’t have to deal with this sh*t,” the Hollywood mogul said.
“It’s not about making money off of a woman’s pain, it is about telling a story and I wish that people, especially black women, would get off the fact of saying, ‘Oh, he’s making money off of black women.’ “

Meanwhile, Perry previously responded to criticism about him not having a writers room, as he writes all of his scripts on his own.
“About ten years ago. I had a writer’s room. It was a really bad experience for me,” he said on “Sway In The Morning.”
“They were turning in scripts that I had to pay for, repay for if they were bad. I was just like, ‘I’ll just do it myself.’ And my ratings started to take a dip. So I was like, ‘I’ll just write my own stuff.’ Listen, “The Have and Have Nots” is still the number one show on Tuesday nights. “The Oval” and “Sistas” are still the number one shows on BET. So, somebody’s loving my writing. So I’m going to focus on that. But as far as Tyler Perry Studios, there are other projects that we’re working on that there’s going to be a showrunner, there will be other writers that are not what my audience is expecting from me. So yeah, there will be other opportunities. But as far as self-care goes, I’m good.”
