Scandal hits the most prolific Black filmmaker in history. We just
learned that Tyler Perry is heaped in the midst of quite a scandal.
According to a person close to one of Tyler's former writers, Tyler
fired a number of black writers for his TV show House Of Payne. Here's
what the insider told us:

TYLER PERRY just fired his whole staff of black writers in Los
Angeles....over the phone...the writers of HOUSE OF PAYNE were
unceremoniously FIRED by ROGER BOB from ATL office

The new head writer is WHITE and the most inexperienced on the
crew...so much for black empowerment...these are the same souls who
slaved over his 100 episodes in one year.

Now that the show is on FOX, all of their hard work is rewarded with a
ticket straight to the unemployment line...what happened to Christian
values and black empowerment?

Wow, that's quite a charge. And while we can't say for certain what's
really going on - we can report that something is definitely poppin'
off on the set. Here's what the NY Times reported yesterday:

The Writers Guild of America West said Thursday that it had filed an
unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board
against Tyler Perry's production studio after it fired four writers for
the popular TBS situation comedy, "House of Payne" who were seeking
union representation.

Jeff Hermanson, an assistant executive director for the Writers Guild,
said that the four writers, who were based in Los Angeles, were fired
earlier this week after negotiations between the Writers Guild and
representatives of Mr. Perry's production company, which is based in
Atlanta, broke down.

The four writers also were working on the development of a new comedy
being produced by Mr. Perry, "Meet the Browns," a spinoff of his recent
film of the same name that is scheduled to premiere in January on TBS.
The four writers who were fired include more than half of the seven
writers working on the new series.
