Jonathan Majors’ reputation has been in the ground. Ever since the actor was accused of assault by his ex-girlfriend, he lost everything within the span of weeks. Although he has served his punishment, not being given jail time, his image still finds it difficult to recover from such a major hit.

Simultaneously, the actor just announced his marriage to Meagan Good, having secretly conducted a ceremony. Amid so much controversy, one cannot help but wonder about the impact a marriage can have on another person, especially when their partner has such a bad reputation.

In a recent interview, Majors revealed that he asked Good to break up with him before they got married, and the reason is quite heartwarming.

Part 1 of Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black squeezed a lot of strip club scandal, murder, blackmail, and kidnapping into its ten riveting episodes. But, if you can believe it, Part 2 of the Chicago–set series — now streaming — has even more juicy drama and salacious twists, especially when it comes to Kimmie.

Taylor Polidore Williams, who plays the down-on-her-luck dancer, explains her character’s arc over the first season. “She’s desperate for a way out,” the actor tells Tudum. “She has dreams, she’s inspired to be more, but she’s both physically and mentally trapped. We watch her get pushed to her absolute breaking point through all of Part 1. By the end of the season, Kimmie is on the verge of discovering a whole new level of power.”

Critics have never been especially reliable supporters of Tyler Perry. The creator of the comedic Madea franchise, Perry began his career as a relatively unknown playwright. After adapting one of his plays, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, he rocketed into mainstream success and quickly became a prominent figure within Hollywood. He has since contributed to dozens of movies and TV shows as an actor, creator, director, writer, or producer. Perry's work has proven divisive, as many of his lowest-rated movies on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer have impressed audiences:

While audiences were still disappointed in some of those lower-rated movies, they were considerably happier than the critics were.

The 6888th battalion might very well “represent the best of America,” but filmmaker Tyler Perry’s The Six Triple Eight is still disappointing the critics. And, unfortunately, the results perpetuate Perry's poor scoring on Rotten Tomatoes, as the historical war drama currently registers only 49% on the Tomatometer against 35 reviews.

However, it’s not unusual for Perry’s movies to be glossed over. In fact, many of Perry’s most popular titles, including Madea Goes to Jail (29%), Madea’s Family Reunion (26%), and Meet the Browns (33%) all landed terrible reviews (per Rt), even though the fans adored them. So, it’s not that much of a surprise to see his newest Netflix flick being panned. 2024 has been particularly harsh for the filmmaker, with Mea Culpa registering only 18% on the Tomatometer, and then there is Divorce in the Black’s unprecedented 0% Rt score —zero! Even with its poor score, though, Perry has only...

Oprah Winfrey, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and Kerry Washington were among the A-list crowd who assembled to present Tyler Perry with the prestigious Paley Honors Award on Wednesday evening.

The Paley Center for Media’s annual fall gala, held in the ballroom of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, feted the billionaire media mogul for his achievements as an actor, writer, director, producer, philanthropist and the owner of the 330-acre Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. In addition to Winfrey, Washington and the Duchess, Perry’s cheering section was made up of an elite group of his close friends, collaborators and contemporaries, including the Honorable Nicole Avant and Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, Debra L. Lee, Ari Emanuel, Jon Feltheimer, Debbie Allen, Latanya Richardson Jackson, Cookie Johnson, Tina Knowles, Ebony Obsidian, Tika Sumpter, Diane Warren, Yvette Nicole Brown and more.

Actors Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good are engaged. The couple revealed the news at Sunday night’s Ebony Power 100 Gala event in Los Angeles, with Good showing off her diamond engagement ring on the red carpet.

In an interview with E! News at the event, the couple said the Ebony Power 100 Gala had a special significance for them as it was where they first in 2022. Majors, 35, and Good, 43, have been dating since May 2023, two months after the Lovecraft Country actor was arrested over an alleged assault against ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

Good publicly stood by Majors as he was later charged and stood trial for assaulting Jabbari in November 2023. The Shazam! actress was a near constant presence in court during the three-week trial. In December, Majors was found guilty of one count of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment, and in April this year he was sentenced to a...

Tyler Perry's recent Netflix series, Beauty in Black, brings consistent and entertaining drama and has many already waiting for season 2. Beauty in Black centers on two main characters, Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) and Mallory (Crystle Stewart), living in very different circumstances, as an exotic dancer and hair care company mogul, respectively. Despite their differences, Kimmie and Mallory's lives become intertwined as season 1 progresses, leading up to Beauty in Black's shocking season 1 ending.

Beauty in Black comes as a result of Tyler Perry's multi-year creative partnership with Netflix, which will see the multi-hyphenate creator release new shows and movies on the streaming platform. While Beauty in Black currently holds a meager 47% Rotten Tomatoes audience rating, its drama and several good performances from its stars have rocketed Beauty in Black to the top of Netflix's charts. Luckily, while fans of the show are waiting for new episodes of Beauty in Black,...

Quick Links Tyler Perry's Movies Have an Important Purpose Tyler Perry's Brand of Racial Comedy Will We Soon Change the Critical Way We Review Movies?

Tyler Perry's poor relationship with critics is not found in his connection to audiences. His newest project, Beauty in Black, has found an audience on Netflix, and his previous movies have had significantly better audience scores than critical scores. His last film, Divorce in the Black, scored 0% on Rotten Tomatoes but found an audience on Prime Video and scored 73% on Rotten Tomatoes from viewers. Before that, he directed Mea Culpa, which saw a 17% critic and 37% audience score, but it was a hit on Netflix when it was released. His track record with critics is rivaled only by someone like Adam Sandler, and like him, Tyler Perry is a sort of audience darling. His projects prove the flaws of critical reviews, providing a compelling argument for their limitations.

Tyler Perrys Beauty in Black is another instant hit for Netflix as part of the writer/director/actors collaboration with the streamer. However, the new series has also continued a trend of appalling critical reviews and love-it-or-hate-it audience reactions to Perrys exclusive releases on the platform. Netflix has previously come under fire for their long-term deal with Perry from fans of the many positively received shows that have been canceled in favor of trash developed by the writer.

Tyler Perry has been on quite a rollercoaster ride with Netflix since signing an extensive deal back in 2023. That deal was for Perry to deliver eight movies over four years, and shortly after, he did confess in an interview that he had no idea what he was going to do. Now, alongside those movies, which include the panned 2024 movie Mea Culpa, Beauty in Black is proving that his TV series releases proving to be huge crowd-pullers,...

Taylor Polidore Williams and Crystle Stewart lead the cast of Tyler Perry's new soap opera Beauty in Black on Netflix as two very different women whose lives unexpectedly collide. Perry has produced the show as part of his creative partnership with Netflix. Under their multi-year first-look deal, Perry is contracted to write, direct, and produce movies and TV shows, and Beauty in Black is the latest project to come from that deal. Part 1 of the new series drops on Netflix on October 24, and it consists of 16 hour-long episodes.

Set in Atlanta, Beauty in Black revolves around two women on two very different paths in their lives. One of them, Kimmie, is struggling to scrape by after being kicked out by her mother, while the other, Mallory, is running her own successful business. Before too long, these two characters get swept up in each others lives. Polidore Williams and Stewart...

Exclusive: Tika Sumpter (Sonic the Hedgehog 3) has co-written and is starring in a new Tyler Perry rom-com for Amazon MGM Studios, Deadline can exclusively reveal. She comes to the project after collaborating with Perry on films like A Madea Christmas and shows like The Haves and the Have Nots.

Currently in production, the film known for the moment as Unt. Sisters in Italy will feature a supporting cast including Bresha Webb (Run the World), Egot winner Whoopi Goldberg (The Color Purple), Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters franchise), Godfrey (Regular Black), Giulio Berruti (Downhill), Edmond Laryea (FBI), Sarayu Blue (Expats), and Justin Chatwin (Reagan). Pic will mark Perry’s final effort under a four-picture deal with the studio, announced in the fall of 2022.

The story follows two estranged sisters who, after their mother’s death, are called to Italy to discover that their mom owned a bed and breakfast in the Italian countryside.

Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman's ending sees Helen (Kimberly Elise) make a critical decision regarding her husband Charles (Steve Harris), raising questions about her motivations. One of Tyler Perry's Madea movies, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, is the film that launched the actor and filmmaker into his career, grossing nearly 10 times its budget with a $50.7 million box office run. The film's commercial success established Perry's marquee style, which has carried on into the 2020s with movies like Mea Culpa and Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black.

The Diary of a Mad Black Woman cast is led by Helen, a woman who's thrown aside by her husband of eighteen years. While she spent much of their time together as a housewife, Charles has accumulated wealth and influence, moving on with a new woman immediately. Helen eventually meets a man named Orlando (Shemar Moore), with whom she falls in love,...

Netflix has unveiled a trailer for Tyler Perry’s original wartime drama “The Six Triple Eight,” starring Kerry Washington.

According to the official logline, “‘The Six Triple Eight’ is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.”

Washington plays Major Charity Adams, who, in the trailer, commands a battalion of women soldiers and gives them some stern words of encouragement before starting their training. “I am giving you my best, and you will give me yours. A lot of people do not want us to succeed. We have the most to prove,” she barks. “Welcome to the Women’s Army Corp.”

Other cast members include Oprah Winfrey, Susan Sarandon, Ebony Obsidian, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery,...

Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black was a smash hit movie in the summer 2024. Naturally, fans almost immediately started to ask the question if a sequel could be in the works.

While a definitive answer hasn’t come from Perry or Amazon who distributed the film yet, there are some very good signs that neither will let the golden opportunity of a sequel pass them by.

Let’s dive in…

In 2022, Tyler Perry inked a four flick deal with Amazon. Under the agreement, Perry would write, direct and produce four new movies for release on Prime Video.

Given the success of some of his other films for the streamer,...

The Boys ascended to its highest mark ever in Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the week of its fourth season finale, and Netflix’s movie Hillbilly Elegy had a resurgence after Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance — whose memoir is the source material for the film — became the Republican nominee for vice president.

The Boys recorded 1.33 billion minutes of viewing time on Prime Video for the week of July 15-21, finishing first among all titles in Nielsen’s rankings for the first time (the season four finale debuted July 18). That’s the biggest viewing total for the series that Nielsen has ever recorded — slightly ahead of the 1.29 billion minutes it had the week of June 17-23.

Two other original series crossed the billion-minute mark for the week: Cobra Kai hit 1.09 billion minutes for the week of its final season premiere (the first of three parts) on Netflix, and Love Island had 1.05 billion across Hulu,...

Tyler Perry is known for pumping out movie after movie despite what critics have to say about them, and while Divorce in the Black, his worst movie to date with a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes, has certainly garnered a lot of negative attention, Perry can feel vindicated knowing that it has now driven more subscriptions to Prime Video than any other original Amazon MGM film in the platform's history.

Per Variety, 498 million minutes of Divorce in the Black were watched during its first four days, equaling about 3.5 million views. For the week of July 8-14, the film managed to crack the Nielsen Top 10 streaming charts, coming in at number three behind Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, and John Krasinskis If. In the weeks that followed, Divorce in the Black captured an additional 93.2 million minutes watched for the week of July 26 to August 1, and while that drop off might seem significant,...

Tyler Perry’s latest film “Divorce in the Black” not only drew strong viewership — Nielsen reported that it hit more than 498 million minutes watched in its first four days of availability on Amazon Prime Video — but according to Amazon, the soapy drama has also driven more sign-ups to Prime Video in the U.S. than any Amazon MGM Studios-produced movie to-date.

The declaration comes after “Divorce in the Black” made its debut on the Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming chart, where it came in as the No. 3 movie of the July 8-14 viewing window behind Netflix’s “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” and “If” on Paramount+. When divided by the film’s nearly 2.5-hour length, its 498 million-minute total during that window (the film began streaming on July 11) translates to an estimated 3.5 million views.

“House of the Dragon” might’ve already closed out its second installment with a season-high viewership on HBO and Max, but its Season 2 midpoint is breaking Nielsen records.

After the “Game of Thrones” spin-off series debuted its explosive Episode 4 on Sunday, July 7, “House of the Dragon” tallied up 1.27 billion viewing minutes during the interval of July 8 through July 14, per Nielsen. For the first time ever, “House of the Dragon” ranked as the most-watched streaming program after slowly gaining traction during the first half of Season 2.

Viewership for “House of the Dragon” during the week of July 8 exceeded that of “Bluey,” which took the No. 2 spot on the overall most-streamed programs list with 1.08 billion viewing minutes on Disney+, as well as “Suits,” which is seeing another streaming resurgence with 1.07 billion...

Overall streaming numbers for July 8-14 came down a fair amount from the record-breaking previous week. HBO’s House of the Dragon, however, was virtually even with its prior viewing total — which was good enough to move it to the top spot for the first time.

House of the Dragon amassed 1.27 billion minutes of viewing on Max (not including viewing on HBO’s cable channels), just a smidge below the 1.3 billion it had the week before. With the two titles ahead of it the previous week, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and Suits, each falling by significant amounts, the HBO show moved up to No. 1.

Suits fell by 28 percent week-to-week to 1.07 billion minutes of viewing on Netflix and Peacock, which was good for third place overall, slightly behind Bluey (1.08 billion minutes on Disney+) and just ahead of The Boys (1.05 billion for Prime Video), which had its fifth consecutive week over the billion-minute mark.

Strike first and strike hard, indeed. Netflix’s “Cobra Kai” and Peacock’s “Love Island USA” topped the Luminate streaming originals TV series charts for the July 19-25 period. On the film side, Netflix’s new rom-com “Find Me Falling” and a resurgent “Hillbilly Elegy” led the field.

The Season 6 debut of “Cobra Kai” delivered 716 million minutes watched in the show’s first full week of availability, following the July 18 premiere of the first half of its final season. The July 21 season finale of relationship reality show “Love Island USA” drove that show to rack up 631 million minutes watched.

Amazon Prime Video's "The Boys" also had a strong frame thanks to its Season 4 finale bowing July 18. The superhero sendup finished out with 431.6 million minutes viewed. The conclusion of Season 1 of Apple TV+'s David E. Kelley drama "Presumed Innocent" took that show up the charts in a big way to 424.1 million minutes watched.

Tyler Perry isn’t letting the “highbrow” critics of his movies deter him from sharing stories related to Black communities.

“I know for a fact that what I’m doing is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing,” Perry said during a recent appearance on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast. “Because for everyone who is a critic, I have thousands of — used to be — emails from people saying, ‘This changed my life. Oh my God, you know me. Oh my God, you saw me. How did you know this about my life and my family?’ That is what is important.”

Perry’s latest drama film “Divorce in the Black,” starring Meagan Good and Cory Hardict, has been widely panned by critics and even earned a rare 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the film currently holds a 75% audience score.

Tyler Perry received a zero percent rating from Rotten Tomatoes for his latest movie, Divorce in the Black. The film starred Meagan Good, Cory Hardict, and Debbi Morgan and premiered on Amazon Prime in mid-July 2024. The stars of the movie raved about the treatment and the pay they received working for Tyler, but movie critics slammed the movie, attacking the storyline and character development. The criticism was not unexpected because Tyler Perry's immensely successful career has been shadowed by harsh words from his peers about the writing and production quality of his films and television programs.

Quick Links Who Is Tyler Perry? What Is Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black About? Tyler Perry's Production & Reception Since 2019 Why Tyler Perry Needs to Pump the Brakes

One of the most prolific content creators working in Hollywood today, Tyler Perry remains busier than ever. In the past five years alone, Perry has written and directed seven feature films, created eight TV shows, and still has six upcoming projects in various stages of production in 2024 and beyond. Perry's most recent release includes Tyler Perry's Divorce in Black, a dramatic thriller premiering on Prime Video on July 11, 2024.

With Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black earning abysmal critical reviews (0% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a low IMDb rating (4.4), it's worth wondering if and when Perry will slow down the production of quantity-over-quality entertainment. Then again, as long as his projects prove financially viable, the chances of Perry limiting his creative output are slim to none.

The two most-watched streaming originals in the U.S. during the week of July 12-18 were Peacock’s “Love Island USA” Season 6 and Disney+’s “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” topping Luminate’s TV and film charts, respectively, with 1.1 billion minutes watched.

This was the second week at No. 1 for "Love Island." Season 6 viewership improved slightly from last week's 919 million minutes watched after the release of Episodes 28 through 33. "The Rise of Red" debuted on the the first day of this viewing window, giving it a full week to accrue its total.

In their first full weeks of availability on Netflix, Season 3 of "Vikings: Valhalla" was second-most-watched (1 billion minutes) and docuseries "Receiver" took third place (886.5 million minutes). "The Boys" Season 4 took fourth place with 577.8 million minutes watched in the first full week of availability of its penultimate episode and the first few hours of availability of its finale.

Spoiler Warning: This story discusses plot points from “Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black,” now streaming on Prime Video.

Tyler Perry’s latest drama “Divorce in the Black” stars Meagan Good as Ava, a banker with an abusive husband. Their turbulent marriage is punctuated by a series of explosive incidents — beginning with the film’s wild prologue, set amid a small-town funeral that quickly (and meme-ably) gets out of hand when their families clash rather spectacularly. Then, when Dallas decides to abandon the marriage and file for divorce, Ava reconnects with her long-lost soulmate and the drama heats up even further. Although Ava used to be willing to fight for their relationship, she finally sees Dallas’ malicious behaviors in the truest light. The trouble is, her ex-husband isn’t willing to give up so easily.

While Season 6 has consistently ranked on Luminate’s charts since its debut during the June 14-20 window, this has been its biggest week by far, marking a 61% jump in viewership from the previous week and a 257% increase from its debut week. Of course, much of the increase is due to the sheer amount of content now available — 27 episodes had been released by July 11 — but it’s clear that the series’ popularity has seen solid growth over time.

The No. 2 title of the week was “The Bear” Season 3, which hit 630.7 million minutes watched in its first full week of availability on Hulu. “The Boys” Season 4 followed with 471.4 million minutes watched during this window, which...

Tyler Perry's latest movie, Divorce in the Black, has received a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics, continuing his trend of poorly received films. Despite negative reviews, some audiences found highlights in the movie, such as Megan Good's performance, showcasing Perry's ability to connect with a minority.

But this new Amazon Prime feature doesn’t just fail to live up to that billing. It’s easily his worst film to date.

Perry – who, as ever, hordes credit for producing, writing and directing this 132-minute film – sets up the disappointment early, opening at the funeral of a young man for a heavy dose of exposition.
