Tyler Perry explains : “I’m getting calls that I fired writers for trying to unionize. What? I came to the WGA on my own to try to work with them!

Not true, and it pissed me off,” “Later on, my mom got sick. So I put a writers’ room in place for one of my shows. Now we’re a WGA show and I’m paying WGA rates. Scripts they’re turning in? Ratings are going down. So now I have to go in and give notes on how to rewrite them. And if I still don’t like it, I have to pay them again for another rewrite,”
