Is Tyler Perry Being Sued Again?



Play and film maker Tyler Perry is under the radar yet again! First, he was accused of stealing reality star Poprah's phrase "What Would Jesus Do" and making it his own. Now it's being said that he's being sued for false representation and fraud.

According to TheWrap, an entertainment company in Georgia is suing Perry for attempting to defraud government officials just so he could turn a military base into a movie studio. The writer/actor and the McPherson Implementing Local Redevelopment Authority (MILRA) has been accused of violating the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the U.S. Constitution.

In the court documents Ubiquitous Entertainment Studios proposed the idea to transform the McPherson military base into a studio and entertainment complex back in 2011. Perry then tried to prevent the UES from getting the deal by trying to convince McPherson that they should give him the deal. Also according to the lawsuit, a rep from McPherson gave Perry the UES's site plans, construction plans, drawings, and business plan. 

UES is also seeking compensatory damages!

Unfortunately, although this is something serious Perry has refused to comment regarding the matter!
