Fire investigators continue to sift through the charred rubble this morning to determine if arson sparked a 4-alarm blaze at the renowned Tyler Perry Studios in southwest Atlanta Tuesday night.
“The fire’s out, but the cause remains under investigation,” Capt. Jolyon Bundrige with the Atlanta Fire Department told the AJC just before 11 p.m. Tuesday.
As many as a dozen fire trucks lined Continental Colony Parkway around 9 p.m. as 100 firefighters battled the blaze that caused one building to collapse inside the massive complex.
No one was injured and the structure was empty at the time of the fire.
A nearby highrise was evacuated as a safety precaution.
Perry arrived on the scene after the fire was extinguished Tuesday night and spoke with Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran, according to the AJC.
The multimillion-dollar 200,000-square-foot facility sits on 30 acres in southwest Atlanta near the Greenbrier mall. The studio opened to much fanfare in 2008 as invited guests mingled with superstars such as talk show host Oprah Winfrey and actor Will Smith.
Protestors and fired script writers also turned out to picket the event on opening day.
Last month, Perry hosted a fundraiser at the studio for President Barack Obama.

If I didn’t sign onto Twitter last night I wouldn’t have heard about this…craziness…
This was on GMA this morning. Sad. Morning Fefe
See promising those lead roles to struggling actors in return for “favors.”
Glad no one was hurt. Hope it wasn’t arson
:hugs: @Eazy
@Man
@Mother Jefferson :hugs:
Thankful everyone was ok and I’m sure Tyler had A1 insurance. He’ll rebuild
Word on the streets is that Roger Ebert did it.
*Sips coffee*
Serious comment 1st – I am glad no one was injured and that the damage was somewhat contained to one bldg/area
Clowning comment- Folks on twitter aint ish they had me
w/all the jokes abt who started the fire esp when they said Spike Lee 
That’s terrible!
Good Morning
O yeah, he will rebuild this as soon as he can get an adjuster out there
Feee :2dance:
I didn’t read the post did Tyler release a statement yet?
Word on the streets is that Roger Ebert did

Dawn for her comment on Twitter….that girl is a FEWL!
Yikes!! There wasn’t much coverage on this last night, glad no one was hurt though
Anyone watched that Uprising special about the LA Riots last night on VH1? Man Cali was wilin out!
He’ll rebuild
I wonder if this foolishness will cause Tyler to come out with an additonal Medea movie by years end to re-coop the costs…dang you arsonist! dang you!
@Mother I was so DONE
@GiGi I recorded that special
@Gigi
Girl, I meant to set my DVR to record that…I remember vividly when those riots were going on…
Either the cops who profiled him or one of his bitter gay lover Juanita Bynum ex husband burnt him… He goin learn today
@Daisy Tom Joyner said this morning he didnt yet, he also didnt speak to the media that was there either…he must know something that everyone doesnt

I personally like Tyler. Any black man who can come from nothing, build a brand and still make it his mission to keep other black actors employed gets kudos from me. He not only keeps young black actors employed but he also remembers older black actors that the white stream media has forgotten about
@Fefe and Daisy: I only remember the Rodney King video since I was very young at the time (7) but watching the special yesterday was like
Hello All!!!
I just hope no one did this on purpose.
@Mother Thanks I only listen to Tom for abt 10-15 mins each morning. We shall see how this story plays out.
Maybe the girl who spent her last $1500 on that dumb azz billboard did it. :fire:

@CD I LOVE Tylers story and vision. Some of his movies are better than others but I just chalk it up to everything isn’t for everybody but I def don’t knock his hustle. I just want to see him to grow as a writer/producer and listen to feedback sometimes. He is A ok in my book though.
I love Tyler Perry but I hope this was not purposely done, sounds suspect
@CD
that dont make his movies good though.
Really, Sandra?
Where is the resolve to salute people who make major accomplishments in life when you’re blasting the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

I loved his movie with Sanaa Lathan!
The first “Why Did I Get Married” was ok.
And the Madea movie with Blair Underwood. Thats it. Everything else been junk.

Ok last time I checked no one is putting a gun to people heads to make them go see his movies, plays or dvds. But to constantly bring up him having a boyfriend to me is null and void. This man has admitted that he was molested more than once as a young boy so to keep throwing out these accusations is not funny to me. If he does have a boyfriend who gives a fukk. Some of the main people who blast him for the content of his movies wouldnt give a black homeless man $1 let alone an acting role. IMO of course
He’s had a couple good ones….The 1st Why Did I get Married, A Family that Prays, and I’ll give Diary of a Mad Black Woman a pass since it was his first…I’m verjoyed that he employs his people…With that said, since he has more money, he CAN afford better scripts…thats all…I just need more depth…He can leave the simple ish on the stage…jmo, please don’t e-bully me…I’s a lover not a fighter

Public Service Announcement: Not liking Tyler Perry MOVIES doesn’t a hater make. (I think the TERM “hater” is overused) I don’t care for Tyler Perry’s script by numbers style of writing and I think he has yet to make the transition from stageplay writer to film/television writer EFFECTIVELY because there is defintely a difference in the STYLES of writing.
Does that mean that the people who don’t like Tyler Perry’s FILMS “hate” on Tyler Perry? I think not. I LOVE what Tyler Perry has done with his empire. I love that he employs black folk (many of them undeserving, but still). I love that he’s a POSITIVE brother… but being black and positive doesn’t make me change my taste if film/television.
I own Nickelback, Aerosmith, Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, and Rascal Flats cd’s whereas most of my friends don’t… are they “hating” on those artist, or is that simply not their style?
Same thing with Barack Obama… not liking his POLITICS doesn’t take away from his accomplishments as the most powerful man on planet earth.
I REALLY wish people would stop blurring the lines of the two. I can respect who you are as a person and still disagree with something you do.

I’m almost CERTAIN that he’s made it possible for more black folk to get up and go to work than can fit into the ENTIRE Tyler Perry studios.
I guess a REALLY good question is, Are you, Sandra Rose, comparing Tyler Perry’s film studios and the hundreds he employs in Atlanta Georgia to the President of the United States and his work?

Carrington: I wouldn’t call you a hater but people who come out in the OPEN and bash this man because he is making an honest living (SPIKE LEE for example) living is just ole plain HATE (in my opinion).
I love Spike Lee’s films just like I like SOME of Tyler’s films. I don’t care for his plays but does that mean that he should just cease from existing? HELL NO!
Its like when another person does well in the same field as some people they can’t congratulate and I see this ESPECIALLY in our community. They always have to throw some sort of shade. Yall both can live. Spike can do his deep shyt and Tyler can do his chitlin ciruit/”simple”/”stereotypical” shyt too. Different strokes for different folks and we should accept it.

@carrington I think people expect too much from Tyler’s movies, he is only ONE director/producer/actor. The problem is there arent enough black film makers out there. Tyler Perry is not the voice of all black film makers, so people should stop treating him that way. The brother can make movies about whatever he feels like.
I also am looking forward to someone making a film about his life one day, his WHOLE life.

NOTHING…
So yeah, everyone deserves criticism. Tyler Perry will definitely get no HATE from me, but I will not deny that I fukking HATE the Madea movies or any movie with Madea in it! That shyt is cool for the plays, but on the screen there needs to be more order, depth, and clarity in his scripts…
I don’t think Spike was hating though he just voiced his opinion and we all have one. I support BOTH Spike and Tyler they both have had good and bad films to me.
Well hell I don’t like Kung Fu movies so u know what I stay my azz at home, just that simple
I mean the way folks go hard in the paint bout his movies and how terrible they are, apparently he doing something right

President Obama came into a hawt mess that was created by the dumbest President we ever had. President Obama has cleaned house and straightened out a lot of issues that Bush ignored. I don’t give a rusty damn, how many jobs he has or hasn’t created, what I do care about is that he ended a war that has killed over 4,804 military/civilian personnel. Something that Bush couldn’t do. I give credit where credit is due. As a DoD employee of 17 years, we were facing a rift last April, and President Obama fixed it where I wasn’t laid off and am still gainfully employed. Noone can tell me shyt about President Obama :obama: and if he’s doing such a shytty job, go to another country where your political needs can be met

“Forward” meaning put on your blinders and do not look over your shoulder at the blazing mess Obama has created in only three years. Obama cannot look back wards Obama would like the failed stimulus, home foreclosures , no jobs for college graduates or anyone else. The unrecoverable tarp money sent into the black hole.. The sidebar scandals I.e. Fast and furious, Intimidation at the election poles. Sixteen trillion wasted debt. A health bill that no one sane wants. Obama would like us to look forward. All I see the Bataan march to oblivion. The alternative I want to look forward to is his moving truck in front of the Peoples House next January.

Carrington: I wouldn’t call you a hater but people who come out in the OPEN and bash this man because he is making an honest living (SPIKE LEE for example) living is just ole plain HATE (in my opinion).

I don’t necessarily think that Spike’s distaste for what Tyler does is hate. It could be the same thought process, but maybe, for Spike, since they are in the same business, it’s a little more “offensive” than it would be for the average joe.
Maybe, the average person’s opinion that Perry’s flicks are gobbage won’t be taken as seriously as Spike’s because, he too is a film maker.
If I said I don’t like Oprah’s interview style because she’s always making people cry, it would be perceived as my simply my opinion…
If Barbara Walters said it, it would IMMEDIATELY become “hating” to some people.
And that’s where the difference lies – for ME.
Good Lord MsOnederful!
Hey your opinion, but remember the President introduces the laws, Congress passes them, and the Supreme Court decides if they are constitutional.
Yeah Fast and Furious was bad I can’t lie about that, but Intimidation at the polls is a state thing that the FED is trying to crack but you do know that the constitution bars the Fed from stepping in some state matters right (see the Civil Rights Movement)?
The Mid-year elections brought in those idiots (Tea Party) who are failing this administration. Remember that.
@One you are more than entitled to your opinion but what you’re saying sounds like some bullchit rhetoric you copied and pasted…I don’t know what your education path has been but I fondly remember taking social studies in the 6th grade where we learned the 3 branches of government and the checks and balances of government…what is a Democratic BLACK President supposed to do when the House and Senate is Republican Dominated…what is our President supposed to do when the Republicans have come out and said they WILL NEVER SUPPORT anything he comes up with simply because he’s black…please tell me specifically what President Obama has promised you that he had the power of delivering but couldn’t deliver based on his own doing
OH WE ON OBAMA…WHY?? THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TYLER… I SWEAR BEY AND PRESIDENTE OBAMA :obama: STAY ON EVERY DANG POST..

“Forward” meaning put on your blinders and do not look over your shoulder at the blazing mess Obama has created in only three years. Obama cannot look back wards Obama would like the failed stimulus, home foreclosures , no jobs for college graduates or anyone else. The unrecoverable tarp money sent into the black hole.. The sidebar scandals I.e. Fast and furious, Intimidation at the election poles. Sixteen trillion wasted debt. A health bill that no one sane wants. Obama would like us to look forward. All I see the Bataan march to oblivion. The alternative I want to look forward to is his moving truck in front of the Peoples House next January.

@Tatted
U see I had to throw that law on Sandra this morning.
Folks who coulda did this:
Shemar Moore in retaliation for that fuggin cornrow wig
Spike Lee has been in the movie industry since what 1988-1989. Please tell me what he has done other than go to the Knicks game and make us sea sick with his cinematography. I love Mekhi but I hated clockers but I still supported him. We have about 5 good black movie producers and he had the nerve to talk against one of them. Bill Nun-He employed him as Radio Raheem so he isn’t gonna talk about him. Sanaa Something or other-I think they were already friends. John Singleton-He has never said anything about him. Malcolm Lee-Is his cousin and then there is Tyler. When a community is that small I don’t understand why there are problems. To me Spike did it to be relevant. I know that yall didn’t forget about Bamboozled. Come on son! He wants to talk about the bafoonery in Tyler’s movie but she’s gotta have it was soft porn at the least bad acting and all.
U see I had to throw that law on Sandra this morning
AND THEN AUNTIE CONFESS HER

I love that people come to Sandra Rose’s site saying, “If Spike Lee has nothing positive to say, he should keep it to himself.”
Again, you came to SANDRAROSE with that statement?
Yeah, I agree with THAT statement, especially since Sandra is the moral authority on all things positive in black america.

Spike is capable of greatness, don’t get me wrong but let someone else be great also. Maybe it’s not his thing what Tyler does but everyone doesn’t want to leave a theater angry.

ok ok ok … with this said im back with Obama.. That was copied and pasted from a New York Post commenter, a white woman that looks to be in about her 70’s. From her comment I interpreted that a lot of it is truth. I have a B.A. from North Eastern University. After your reading this: (3 branches of government and the checks and balances of government…what is a Democratic BLACK President supposed to do when the House and Senate is Republican Dominated…what is our President supposed to do when the Republicans have come out and said they WILL NEVER SUPPORT anything he comes up with)this is true! :obama:

Tyler needs to GROW in his craft…tis all….
————————————————————
I think I know WTF is SOME of Spike’s prollem too. Spike is a TRAINED filmmaker. Like that is his CAREER. Tyler Perry didn’t een get a high school diploma (testament that education is not everything but I digress). He kinda happened into the industry whereas Spike has been active for YEARS. Pure has a Master’s degree in it.
So somebody who did not study the craft just comes along and steals your shine so to speak…I think that would piss anybody the heck off. To say it WOULDN’T would be a lie. I liken it to…I am an attorney I been practicing for 20 years and all of a sudden it only takes Joe Schmo two years in law school but back in the day it took MEH four…come in and get all the good big capital cases…yeah I would be pist.
Hey Fe Fe
Maybe its just me but just because its black own doesnt mean that i will support it. If your business whatever it might be is legit and has good quality then i will support it no matter the color.
@Candi,
u gonna put that poor dog in a basket?? oh i can’t with u… c’mere chile

Wrong! I’m not even a democrat… I’m VERY independent in my voting and thought processes.
My point about Obama is not about stanning… it’s to illustrate the point that even THOUGH I don’t agree with your positions, I can still support your ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
I never heard much in Obama’s ORIGINAL campaign that made me a huge Obama fan… but what I heard from Sarah Palin and John McCain was enough to make me vote for HIS a$$…
And, even though I’m STILL not a democrat, what I hear from Mit the $hit Romney is not enough to make me vote for HIM either – and Obie will get my vote AGAIN.
I don’t stan for ANYONE, I am an independent thinker all the way around.
#I am that I am
@Carrington
everybody can have and voice their opinion but Spike #chileboo this coming from one who likes and support Tyler and Spike.
White folks have public issues/spats it is what it is.
At the end of the day Pay to see what you want to see no harm ho foul
