An aspiring actress paid of a series of large billboards, asking Tyler Perry to hire her. According to The Blast, she included her website and Twitter handle on the billboard. However, Perry made it clear that is not the way to get his attention.
He wrote on Instagram, “Auhhh…. soooooo…… here’s the deal. This is not the way to get my attention if you’re looking for a role in one of my shows. Please DON’T DO THIS, SAVE YOUR MONEY!! This is the third time that someone has done this. PLEASE STOP! To audition is FREE!! I’m sure you can use that money for a better purpose.”
Perry added, “I love that you want to work with me, and I love that you invest in yourself. But when you do things like this it puts my team on high alert and makes me look at you sideways. I know the message that you want to send is a positive one, but this comes across as the opposite. Again, the best way to work for me is to AUDITION and it’s FREE! We post breakdowns all the time for actors. JUST COME AND AUDITION. God bless you dreamer. I have no doubt you will make it one day!!”
