Perry’s projects not requiring him to wear a dress and brandish firearms typically do less box office for him and his distributor Lionsgate. Another factor at play here: “The Marriage Counselor” is 100-percent Madea-free.

Perry potentially has a lot to lose since he owes his success (not to mention that lavish Buckhead estate) to grassroots fans who go to see each movie, each play and purchase each DVD of each play and each movie at the Walmart with an almost religious fervor. Williams posted: “I will not support any more of your projects because of your association with Kim Kardashian.” Perry Facebook fan Lefty Lasley was succinct: “The Kardashian thing does not sit well.” You’ll be viewed as a joke just like her and her family.” Fan Kevin D.
Writes Kimberly Dillard Starks: “Don’t lower yourself and degrade your next film by allowing Kim K to star in in. In recent days, Perry’s fans have taken to Facebook to post increasingly negative comments about the casting. Why wouldn’t Kim Kardashian be invited into a film about faith, forgiveness and the healing power of God? What is wrong with that?” I believe my films speak from the inside out. If one of those young people see this film and find the strength to live a better life.then we have all done what I feel I’m being led to do here. To have the young people that look up to her see her in a film that is about what happens in life when you make the wrong choices. I thought and still do think that it would be very responsible of her to be a part of this film. In creating a film for younger fans, Perry says he went in search of a cast “young people are looking up to.” Of Kardashian, Perry writes: “She literally has millions of young people following her. You have been heard!” Perry goes on to explain that the idea to cast the inexplicably popular reality show fixture came well before her high-profile wedding and even higher-profile split from Humphries.
“I could not have imagined I’d be getting all these emails about Kim Kardashian,” Perry writes to fans in an email sent at 12:29 AM Thursday.
All month Perry’s fans have taken to his Facebook and Twitter accounts to express their displeasure after he announced the casting of the rich white lady who assists the global economy by purchasing $10,000 designer shoes on camera in his new ironically titled comedy “The Marriage Counselor.” In an email to fans, Perry has at last responded to the outrage over his casting of the 72-day bride/E! reality show fame whore who is currently divorcing NBA forward Kris Humphries after an exhausting 10-week marriage. As the world slept overnight, Atlanta director and studio mogul Tyler Perry placed his fingers on the home row keys to address one of the greatest maladies currently plaguing the Earth: Kim Kardashian.
