Tyler Perry sued over Tyler Perry movie, the one starring Tyler Perry

11/28/2012

Call it "Tyler Perry Being Sued for Tyler Perry's Movie Starring Tyler Perry," if you want, but the director is on the receiving end of a lawsuit over the plot of his film "Good Deeds." Terri Donald says that Perry swiped the storyline from her book "Bad Apples Can Be Good Fruit," alleging that she sent a copy to Perry's production company before he started to work on "Good Deeds." Donald thinks his thievery is worth $225,000 in damages, as well as ensuring that her book is credited in the opening and closing credits. We're hoping that it would be written as "Tyler Perry's Tyler Perry Movie, Based on Terri Donald's Book." [Source]
