Spike Lee Changes Heart About Tyler Perry

Spike Lee Changes Heart About Tyler Perry

Perry responded with varying comments such as “It’s attitudes like [Lee’s] that make Hollywood think that these people do not exist and that’s why there’s no material speaking to them.”

Since then, attitudes have changed and in Spike Lee’s visit to “Oprah’s Next Chapter” he expressed his love for Perry and said that they may one day work together.
