An actress spends $2,000 to
put up a huge billboard in Atlanta asking Tyler Perry for a job; an opportunity
to be a lead act in his movie.
Actress Racquel Bailey paid
thousands of dollars to put up billboards in Atlanta asking Perry for a job.
She included her website domain name and social media handle.
She wrote;
“Attention Mr. Perry,
Racquel Bailey is your next leading lady,” the billboard reads with the
actress’s social media handles.
Tyler Perry is however not
impressed with the actress. Making it clear to aspiring actors, Tyler Perry who
responded via Instagram says do not to pay for billboards in his neighborhood
asking him for a gig. See his reply below;
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.
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.
And by the way, you were
great in THE NIGHT OF! It was my favorite show a couple years ago. I ALREADY
SAW YOU!! So just audition and keep your money!! Again, I appreciate your
effort, but that’s not the way to work for me.
God bless you dreamer. I
have no doubt you will make it one day!!
