TV and movie mogul Tyler Perry received some pushback when he boasted on Monday, Jan. 6, 2020, that he is the sole writer for all of his current shows. But he had a response to his critics.


While the Tyler Perry Studio owner mostly received props for his indefatiguable devotion to his shows, which include “The Oval,” “Sistas,” “The Have and Have Nots” and the upcoming show “Bruh,” there were pockets of critics who believe he would benefit from a true “writer’s room.”
