EXCLUSIVE: Diary of a Mad Black Woman! Oprah is so furious with Tyler Perry for ignoring her suggestions for his TV show she excluded him from her annual holiday and cut off gossipy late night chats
Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have been friends since 2001 but in the past six months their friendship has been strained
A source tells Daily Mail Online Oprah finds Tyler difficult to work with and doesn't like that he can't take constructive criticism
Perry has three series on Winfrey's OWN Network - For Better or Worse, Love Thy Neighbor and The Haves and the Have Nots
Oprah suggested he hire extra writers because research found writing could be 'improved significantly' and Tyler to her 'let me do what I do'
Oprah reminded him that she gave him work when TBS let him go
The talk queen was also angry over a magazine headline that read 'The Brand Keeping Oprah in Business,' which featured Perry
They have been the best of friends since meeting fifteen years ago but Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry appear to be on the outs.
A source close to the two Hollywood moguls tells Daily Mail Online that the once practically inseparable pair barely speak to each other now unless it's regarding business.
Working together on programming for Winfrey's OWN Network caused the major strain in their friendship.
Perry, 46, has three series on the channel which include the sitcoms For Better or Worse and Love Thy Neighbor - along with the record-breaking drama The Haves and the Have Nots.
'When Tyler first brought his shows to OWN in 2012, it was a love affair between the two of them.
'Oprah was very involved in watching Tyler develop them creatively and they even shot promos together with her as Miss Sophia from The Color Purple and he as Madea.
'But that relationship has soured in the last six months because Oprah finds Tyler difficult to work with and he doesn't take constructive criticism well at all,' a source explains.
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/16/19/3241E48500000578-3494066-Kaput_Tyler_Perry_and_Oprah_Winfrey_are_barely_speaking_because_-m-4_1458156515213.jpg)
Things grew tense with the pair late last summer when 62-year-old Winfrey suggested Perry hire some additional script writers to help develop his shows, particularly the top-rated drama The Have and the Have Nots.
She shared with him research from focus groups and the general consensus from executives at the company was that the writing could be 'improved significantly.'
'That's when Oprah finally got to see a side of Tyler she hadn't experienced yet. He resisted her feedback, the same way he resists the feedback of critics and media people who chastise his work, and became extremely defensive with her.
'He told her, "Aren't the shows delivering ratings for the network? Well, then let me do what I do and you can keep your focus group research to yourself",' reveals the source.
Winfrey reminded Perry that the reason he approached her about doing a deal at OWN was because he lost his TV deal at TBS.
When the former playwright first launched his sitcoms Tyler Perry's House of Payne (2006) and Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008) at TBS, he scored huge ratings and the network created a new fully-staffed urban division just to manage his programming.
By the time his third sitcom For Better or Worse came around in 2011 - his shows had dipped drastically in the ratings and TBS laid off its entire urban division
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/16/13/3240341700000578-3494066-image-a-10_1458136699621.jpg)
Close knit: The two were best of pals - just two years ago Perry surprised Oprah with this over-the-top birthday cake for her 60th birthday
'Tyler didn't leave TBS because he wanted to go to OWN. His deal with TBS wasn't renewed because his shows had stopped generating ratings and Tyler wouldn't take network feedback to help save them when they tried to offer it.
'So when his contract was up, they weren't interested in re-signing it.
'Oprah basically had to remind him, "you needed me as much as I needed you when we decided to do this partnership and don't forget that",' tells the source.
The professional squabble caused the two to stop communicating as much personally.
The source adds: 'Gone were the days of them having long phone conversations and texting late into the night.'
But things went from bad to worse when Winfrey caught wind of a feature story on Perry in the December 28, 2015 issue of New York Magazine.
With a headline that read: 'The Brand Keeping Oprah in Business.'
Winfrey was outraged by the narrative presented in the article, especially because she conceded to be interviewed for the piece.
'She knows Tyler is a micromanaging control freak and she felt that he was aware of the story's title and didn't make sure it was killed.
'She believed it was done in spite and has told Gayle and her other close friends, she's putting space between she and Tyler,' says the source.
During the 2015 Christmas holiday, Winfrey took her longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham, best friend Gayle King and her two children, Hollywood director Ava DuVernay, actor David Oyelowo and his wife and children - along with her niece for a vacation together in Fiji.
However, absent from the trip was her regular vacation buddy, Perry.
'She just didn't want him there. She is not happy with the place their friendship is in and decided she didn't want any awkward moments on vacation,' the source says.
'Perry did however have a massive bouquet of flowers delivered to their residence in Fiji on Gayle's birthday.'
During press rounds to promote the new season of The Have and the Have Nots in New York earlier this month, Perry told attendees at a private press dinner: 'I need to clear up that New York Magazine headline.
'I'm not keeping Oprah in business. She was in business long before I was even doing I am doing and she was success before I was working in entertainment, so I just needed to say that.'
Only time will tell if the two friends will patch things up. In the meantime, they're keeping things professional and focusing on the work.
Oprah and Tyler became friends when he was invited to be on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2001.
Winfrey interviewed Perry about his rags to riches story - from being homeless to touring playwright to Hollywood box office gold.
I was wondering what oprah felt about these shows. I have a hard time believing she's proud of that shit. He definitely needs to hire writers. Lemme read this
queen wait
thats sad!
she gave him a platform and hes so stuck in his own way
srr' i'm with tyler on this
but the OWN network should be the Tyler Perry Network seeing as well he has the highest ratings ever
he should start his own mess if this is true

this looks promising!
lynn whitfield is amazing!
hoping she returns to HTGAWM very soon!
To me, she has no right. This is HIS show and it became successful from whomever he wanted to write it.
The show is really good btw. Caught my attention when I only watched one time.
She's not firing him from writing. She just wants additional writers. Tyler tries to do too much. That's why a lot of his movies are subpar. He thinks nobody can do it but him, but other writers would bring valuable contributions to the table.
I agree. The writing on his shows is terrible.
Havent watched the shows but yeah... whatever GODprah >

Im going to watch this for Lynn. :loose2when: I fucking love her
Love Op'
He needs to take her damn advice. This would be the perfect opportunity to give some aspiring black screenwriters a step in the door and elevate his awful shows past soap opera drivel.
Tyler is greedy and wants his name on everything tho, so I doubt it will change.
She wasn't lying. The shows need it.

Basically.
Lol. His show does need some fresh blood in the writing department. As epic as "The Haves and the Have Nots" is, we shouldn't have to sit through a whole season where we've only seen 3 days of drama and mess. It's so annoying.

!!! He had to really battle his way into Hollywood (and still does in many ways) and now that's he "made it", he doesn't wanna hear anything anyone has to say.
I could see if this was some random critic, but it's Oprah :dead: Her advice isn't something to scoff at.
its a catch-22
tyler may need to hire new writers
but his shows is what got the OPRAH network on track
My own family, male family members are glued to that show
:dead:
And now even have a better outlook on gay characters and individuals in general.
wow so yeah King Tyler >>
tyler made that fucking network horrible writing or not huns
I wonder what Greenleaf ratings will give I can't wait whew

Tyler needs some more writers. The show is good, but it can be GREAT with better development. I don't see why that point is being missed.

they don't even do that on soaps :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
stupid self
and fuck SLavennah
Oh dear...I haven't read the full article, I skimmed but here's my two cents...
I am a fan of his show For Better or Worse, and casually watch House of Payne. Tyler's shows are...nothing groundbreaking honestly, mediocre at best...some good TV to pass the time...But he's not without his flaws...IMO the biggest problem with his shows is originality, plot development, and PACING.
Tyler found success in theatre and stage production, but he's limited as he uses the same approach for his movies and TV shows. The pacing in his shows is glacial as he tackles them as if they were plays. He also recycles plot points between shows. His character Angela from "Better or Worse" used a pregnancy plot that was used on his older show "House of Payne"
So yeah, he needs to improve on the pacing on his storylines. If he does that, his storylines may improve, be more original, and his character development won't be as boring as watching paint dry. His drive and self-sufficiency is admirable, but there's strength in knowing that you can't do everything on your own.

RIGHT. I love Tyler, but I hate he rehashes certain things from his previous work. "The Haves and the Have Nots" is nothing more than a tv-version of his movie, "A Family That Preys". Same plot and everything
I still haven't seen this show :dead: A lot of people seem to love it tho

Bitch your network was close to tanked before Tyler stepped in.
Let's not act like you weren't tuned into Oprah's Next Chapter. The Rih, NPH, Beyonc? and a few other interviews slayed and got major ratings.
She could've gotten someone other than Tyler to do shows but chose him cause they were friends.
With that being said, he is a sorry ass friend to not take criticism from another friend and instead get mad at her. Really sad. Acting like the petty queen everyone believes him to be.
QuoteAmong all of OWN programming since the network's January 2011 debut, only a March 2012 Oprah?s Next Chapter interview with Bobbi Kristina has drawn more viewers (3.5 million) than the February 4, 2014 episode of The Haves and the Have Nots.[25] The Haves and the Have Nots episode in question is "Why Didn't You Tell Me?" On Tuesday, March 11, 2014, however, the mid-season 2 finale of The Haves and the Have Nots set a record for all of OWN programming, scoring the highest ratings in the station's history. The record-breaking episode brought in 3.6 million viewers, surpassing the 3.5 million that tuned in for Oprah Winfrey's interview with Bobbi Kristina.[25] Not only was the episode the most watched broadcast in all of OWN history but it came in at number 1 among all of cable television and number 4 among all shows on television for its airing night
ACK
oh and by the way the season 3 finale got a 3.7 Million mess owt WHEW
only tyler huns :supluv: :supluv:
He's still a terrible writer
Yea he def needs some additional writers!!! Oprah is Right!!!

Let's not sit here and pretend that Tyler's shows didnt improve her ratings for OWN. Im not even a Tyler fan, but fact is fact.A lot of people in this thread calling for new writers, which I agree with them, wouldnt be doing so if they didnt watch the shows themselves. I just do not like Oprah's approach....fuck it, I just dont like Oprah.
Imagine you own a retail store. You hire a new associate and they are opening credit cards in record numbers..however, customers say that his breathe smells bad.
Are you going to ignore your customers (focus group) simply because they are opening tons of new cards? If you're a good boss you'll always appreciate the new money, but in order to make the shopping experience better you have to address Tyler's breathe.
Oprah is still his boss! He doesnt get a free pass because he brought some light to the network ESPECIALLY when it was the same reason for his downfall at another network. Just because the ratings are good doesnt mean they can't be better....and how long will that last with shitty writers. Im sure FOX has a say so in its writing and production teams!
Frankly, It would be pretty difficult for Tyler to find another home for his shows. Oprah can have producers and writers beating down the door to get a time slot.
Im sure BET or VH1 would pick up Tyler's shows.

i mean ... ok :dead: its not like Oprah wanted to get rid of his show or change EVERYTHING
if she hated it that much, she'd just snatch it from the network IMO lol Tyler is probably just
sensitive as fuck, assuming this report is even true.

And if she did want him to change something, he said, it's Oprah's network, so he would change it. He says the only thing truthful about the entire write up was that they'd spelled he and Oprah 's names correctly.
