Tyler Perry recently appeared on a recent episode of The View. While there, he revealed how Joy Behar’s advice recently helped him. He also took time to comment on his last appearance on the show.
Tyler Perry Had An Update Since His Last Appearance
Perry is an American actor, filmmaker, and playwright. He is especially known for his performance as the character Mabel “Madea” Simmons, which he has portrayed on stage and in films.
Perry recently appeared on an episode of The View. While there, he revealed he revealed that he received good advice from one of the co-hosts.
During his appearance, Joy Behar shared, “The last time you were here, you were talking about your documentary [Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story] and you bring out in the documentary the traumatic childhood that you had and I said to you, ‘Have you gone to therapy?’
“Because that seems to be my solution to emotional issues and I always think it works. It worked for me, believe it or not. So?”
Fortunately, Perry had good news for her. As he shared, “I really took your advice. I went to therapy for the first time at 54 last year.” This, in turn, caused Behar to respond, “Good for you.”
Perry felt that, “I’m living the freest, best part of my life.” He continued, “I’d been bound by so much trauma, so much pain, so much heartache and heartbreak and, you were right, Joy.”
“You were completely right and I would recommend it to anyone — the right therapist. Because the wrong ones will make you crazy as hell. But the right therapist, yeah, for sure.”
Perry Also Poked Fun At His Last Appearance On The View
Behar then commented that therapy can be helpful because talking about problems can help people heal from them. Perry added that talking also can help people “understand” the problems in their lives.
Perry noted, “I knew all the trauma and I had all the bells and tools to understand it, ‘cause as a writer I would always chase down the motivations of my characters and I used that for myself. But I didn’t have the understanding of, now I have the information, now what do you do with it? So, getting the information was so powerful.”
As noted by Entertainment Weekly, Perry previously appeared on the show in November 2023. While there, he needed to take pause when Sara Haines paid tribute to his mother.
During the most recent appearance, Perry poked fun at this earlier appearance. Pointing to Haines, he joked, “Last time I was here, she had me crying. So don’t start with me!” Haines, in turn, replied, “I’m not starting with you!”
