Tyler Perry: “Diana Ross Will Not Return My Phone Calls”
Posted by Media Outrage on June 28th, 2012
Film making machine/mogul, Tyler Perry, says that Diana Ross will not return his phone calls y’all! Wonder why???
Via Eurweb:
*Tyler Perry has hit a roadblock in his pursuit of movie making.
The filmmaker expressed interest in producing a film with Diana Ross, but apparently, she won’t return his calls.
“She’s been ignoring me for years,” Perry told Essence.com while promoting his latest movie, Madea’s Witness Protection. “She’s the only person that I have dreamed of working with that will not return my phone calls.”
But he does recall a time when they had a short conversation.
“That was it, she never called me again. She said, “No!” And that was it.”
He says not even having a close association with Oprah Winfrey can’t get her to call back.
“Not when it comes to Diana Ross,” he jokes. “You can be friends with Obama, Oprah, Trump — that is Diana Ross! So, no.”
Not all is lost, however. Perry has managed to get two other childhood idols, Marla Gibbs and John Amos, into his latest movie.
“To be around Florence from The Jeffersons and James [Amos] from Good Times… to stand in the presence of people that I’ve admired is amazing.”
MediaOutrage- Diana must not be a FAN of his work in the least bit to just plain ol’ ignore the brotha like that. In the words of Malik from “The Game” “man you’re like a Tyler Perry movie…you got the same story every time!”

Maybe there’s something about him she just don’t like. Some old school people are like that. Who you are don’t matter to them if they don’t like you, they don’t like you..end.of.story. lol.

Ms. Ross is not a superficial person. She’s very family oriented, and culturally diversified. I’m taking a guess, but I think there a some things that she is aware of about Mr. Perry not been forth-right about. Ms. Ross is loyal to her fan base, which is LBGT. There are so many closeted people that work with Mr. Perry, as is obvious with the ‘pretty boy’ characters, entourage, and even the movie story lines. By joining this culture, she may feel she would be compromising her integrity.
