Would you take care of someone who had abused you as a child? It’s a hard question to answer and, really, it probably depends on a lot of variables but Tyler Perry recently revealed that he provides support for the man who raised him, despite a pretty dark history.
While opening up on Oprah’s Master Class, Perry talked about his current relationship with Emmitt Perry Sr., the man who he thought was his father growing up. The older man was physically and emotionally abusive and the Hollywood heavyweight explained, “from a child, I’d always known that this man despised me, and I could not figure it out for the longest … I could not figure out why he hated me so. And every action was about his hatred or his disdain for me.”
