Tyler Perry’s response to actress who paid $2000 for billboard asking for a job is must read

A young actress, Racquel Bailey, seeking a breakout role with Tyler Perry Studios dished out a whopping $2000 for an advert on a billboard to get the producer to cast her in a leading role.

While her effort did not exactly elicit the reaction she wanted, it sure as well brought her profile to his attention.

The actress had advertisers place the billboard near Perry’s residence. “Attention Mr Perry, Racquel Bailey is your next leading lady,” the billboard reads with the actress’s social media handle and website address.

Well, Tyler didn’t miss the advert, which some might consider a bit stalkerish considering it was placed near his home.

He literally told her off, telling her that the old fashioned audition was all she needs to get his attention. He also noted that the money she spent could have been put to better use. Tyler, however, did try tamper his irritation with some encouragement as he tells her he had seen her performance and In The Night Of. But he stands by his advice: “AUDITION and it’s FREE!”

Check out his full reaction 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!!”
