Taraji P. Henson’s next movie Straw, is almost out. The movie also happens to be the latest project of Tyler Perry is set to premiere in June, and its said to have been shot over the course of four days
Perry took to X with a post of stills from the film. He wrote: “IM IN MY BAG YALL!! This movie is so good.
I mean so good! I can’t wait for y’all to see it. #STRAW on @netflix June 6th.”
The snapshots include a picture of a makeup free and sad-looking Taraji Henson wearing a uniform and sitting on a bed.
However, the internet has some thoughts.The film sees Henson as a single mother whose “world unravels” in chaos. Sound familiar
But this wouldn’t be the first time Tyler Perry is receiving backlash but despite the backlash, Perry seems to remain completely unbothered.
“I don’t take in the criticism,” Perry told USA Today back in December while addressing the lack of writers on his projects.
“Because if people understood why there were no writers or if they understood what I had to deal with, if they understood what I had to endure…
So if people really understood the backstory of a lot of things, I don’t think there would be as much criticism as there would be an understanding.”
He also addressed haters on Keke Palmer’s podcast last summer: “Great, have your opinion… I live from this seat tempered, measured, patient, prayerful, and disciplined. […]
You got to drown all of that out. If you let somebody talk you out of a place that God has put you in, you are going to find yourself in hell.
I know for a fact that what I’m doing is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing, because for every critic, I have thousands of emails from people saying, ‘This [movie] changed my life.’ ”
Despite the mixed reactions, some fans cant wait to see this movie. Below is therefore few so the reactions from x, formally known as twitter.
mmm lemme guess. She struggling, daddy r*ped her when she was 5, she can barely take care the baby, and her baby daddy drunk & be beatin her till she meet a fine black man wit braids & fall inlove and all the pain go away.
