Tyler Perry on Oprah, Reveals Childhood Molestation and Abuse
Tyler Perry revealed that he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, during an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Wednesday.
Perry, 41, opened up about being brutally beaten by his father, and being molested by a male neighbor, a nurse, a priest and a friend's mother.
"I was about five or six," the first time, he said. While building a bird house in his backyard , a male neighbor from across the street came over and put "his hand in my pants. I thought, 'What is this?'"
Next up? "A male nurse at the hospital . And he was doing the same thing. . .Then there was the man in the church who used God and the bible to justify a lot of the things that were going on. That was my first sexual appearance was this man performing oral sex on me as a boy."
This revelation comes ahead of Tyler's new movie, the adaptation of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf, which opens Nov. 5.
