‘Bro, You Been Here All Day’: Tyler Perry Confronts Uninvited Guests, Fans Are In Stitches

Tyler Perry is getting his Dr. Dolittle on while he works!

The actor and producer is currently holed up in a beautiful unknown setting while writing season 4 of his BET series “Sistas” and has been joined not once, but twice by a large uninvited guest. Perry shared images and videos to his social media of his up-close and personal encounter with a moose, who decided to hang out in the mogul’s backyard and fight with a few of the “Ruthless” creator’s outdoor chairs during his visit.

“Excuse me. Is there a reason why you’re tearing up my chairs?” Perry asks the moose in one of his videos. “You should maybe scratch yourself on a tree or something.”

On Aug. 28, the media mogul shared his first moose encounter with fans in a selfie with the animal in the background and a peek at his in-progress script in the foreground.

Whether the same moose returned or the first one told a friend is unclear, but it decided to make a day of the staycation. Perry eventually offered him a ride so that he can get wherever else he needed to go. “Bro, you been here all day. Don’t you think it’s time to go? I been trying to write, sit in my spot, you tore up those chairs…where do you live? Do you need an Uber?” he asked.

Fans were simultaneously in awe and in stitches while watching the massive animal hang out at Perry’s crib.

“Madea and the moose coming soon!”

“That’s a big body right there 😭 scenery is beautiful tho!”

“That’s crazy and amazing at the same time”

“He like I live here, you visiting, he saying you disturbing him😂😂”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
