Tyler Perry spoke candid to Oprah Winfrey yesterday, about the sexual abuse he endured at an early age.
The very popular and prominent stage playwright, actor, director and producer said, he suffered sexual abuse at the hands of various adults.
Though they’re close friends, Oprah says she never realized how brutal Tyler’s childhood really was. Oprah asked Tyler to describe his childhood years and he said: “It was a living hell!”
To endure the violent beatings, shouting and name-calling, Tyler says he used his imagination to escape.
“I could go to this park [in my mind] that my mother and my aunt had taken me to. … I’m there in this park running and playing, and it was such a good day,” he says. “So, every time somebody was doing something to me that was horrible, that was awful, I could go to this park in my mind until it was over.”

Let’s not forget that Tyler has always said that he was abused at some point in his life, he just never went into detail. So this isn’t a “new” revelation, just filling in some blanks.
Now, this does not excuse some of the BS he pushes like Meet the Browns or House of Payne, but just because he says he was molested by four people doesn’t mean it’s not true.

I am bewildered by his story. He was molested by four different people. WTF! Where were his parents? Why didn’t he tell anyone when he was a child? I watched him on Oprah and I got the feeling that his father suspected he was gay and tried to beat it out of him. His father wanted him to change tires and do “manly” things but all Tyler wanted to do was read and draw. His daddy knew Tyler had a feminine nature. Opening up about this issue as an adult is courageous, but we have to teach our children to speak on it when it happens so that the abuse doesn’t continue and the molesters can be dealt with.

Tamala, I do believe O like a lot of these “powerful media types” have hidden agenda’s. however you will not be able to fool everyone, as Bob Marley sang “you can fool some of the people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.
I do believe TP is telling the truth, incest is very prevalent in our culture, the reality is a child is usually victimized sexually by multiple predators in the family and community. the shame and stigma attached to it, is what leads many to keep those dark secrets, and suffer in silence or wait until adulthood when they feel safe enough to reveal the trauma they faced as children, its a harrowing journey that few ever heal from. this is why there is so much turmoil in our communities, for black men its particularly hard, given the homophobia in our culture and to have their sexuality questioned. incest is vicious cycle often the perpetrators themselves were victimized and “choose” to victimize others. the show in November hopefully and with the eddie long scandal will open the flood gates and allow for more black men to come forward. its long past the time for this epidemic to be exposed and eradicated, so we can heal and move on as a people. TP doesn’t need to use a movie to come forward with a made up story about incest, given how hateful and homophobic our culture is towards those who choose same sex unions. I hope this will be the catalyst for healing on a massive scale. predators need to know they will be exposed, hunted down and taken off the planet. they cannot be rehabilitated and should be killed off to prevent them from preying on other children.

It is estimated that one out of every three to four girls and one out of every six boys are molested by age 18.
The FBI reports that the National Institute for Mental Health found that only 1% to 10% of victims ever tell that they were abused. Boys report far less than girls.
•The average child molester will molest fifty girls before being caught and convicted.
•A child molester that seeks out boys will molest 150 boys before being caught and convicted and he will commit at least 280 sexual crimes in his lifetime.
•The standard pedophile will commit 117 sexual crimes in their lifetime.
•Most sexual abuse happens between the ages of 7 and 13.
•There are over 491,720 registered sex offenders in the United States.
•80,000 to 100,000 of the above offenders are missing.
•Molesters known by the family or victim are the most common abusers. The “Acquaintance Molester” accounts for 70-90% of reported cases.
It is not so surprising that multiple people have molested Tyler. Predators know when children are unprotected and sniff them out very easily.

I just read it all again and I just hope the dude isn’t being untruthful, because that would be the ultimate clown move x 10. It’s hard to trust any card-carrying member of hollywood, but I’m not sure I think even Tyler Perry would pimp a false story of molestation for film buzz. So be it.

Oprah gets on my nerves. What was the point of him putting his business out there? For some reason I think Oprah gets a kick out of things like this. I didn’t watch! I didn’t want to hear the shit!

I don’t think she gets a kick out of it but I think it’s still therapy from her ordeal. Knowing she wasn’t alone in the abuse she suffered. Not a fan of her but JMO on this one.

If he’s gay like everyone speculates, then this is the reason. That’s some wild shit to overcome.

GTFOH: I agree with you Adam,
Tyler Perry is an opportunist!
He waits until his movie is about to drop to tell this story.
I don’t get how you idiots could be so supportive of Tyler perry when he says he was molested but then literally attack Eddie Longs abuse victims.
Tyler Perry is an idiot. I do believe he was molested and i think thats why he hates black men so much and he doesn’t know what it means to be decent. No decent man would ever promote the kinds of negative images he promotes in his film.
He is just laying the ground work to tell the world that he is gay. But surprise only fat black church women thought he was straight to begin with.
