During the Women’s Empowerment 2014 event in Raleigh, NC, Tyler Perry made a shocking revelation during an interview with Cathy Hughes, the founder of Radio One. He said, "I love my mother to death, but she lied to me.”
He told the audience that he took a DNA test with his brother and found out that the man who raised him (who was also very abusive) was not his father. He encouraged women in the audience not to keep secrets from their children. Now.....he's trying to find out who is his biological father.
In other news, his latest film Single Mom Club took in $8M this weekend at the box office. It opened at #5 and is Tyler's lowest opening weekend ever.
In other entertainment news.....
Oprah Winfrey plans to sell Harpo Studios in Chicago to Sterling Bay developers. If you haven't had a chance to take a photo on the sacred ground, you have about two years left. That's how long they expect the studio will remain on the property.
A Harpo spokesman said, "We have entered into a purchasing agreement with Sterling Bay for the four-building Harpo Studios campus in Chicago's West Loop...We expect the transaction to be closed in 30 days. The property will be leased back to Harpo for two years and the studio will continue to produce programming for OWN."
