Christian Keyes Claims “All The Queen’s Men” Went Left Once Tyler Perry Started Running It [Video]

The tea in Atlanta is officially boiling over as actor and writer Christian Keyes takes to social media to drop a massive bombshell regarding his hit series “All The Queen’s Men” departing Tyler Perry Studios.

Keyes, the mastermind behind the original book “Ladies Night,” on which the show is based, didn’t hold back when expressing his thoughts on how things are being run at Tyler Perry Studios. While fans might be shocked to see him go, the talented creator revealed that things behind the scenes went left once he lost creative control of his own project. According to Keyes, he is actually relieved to be moving on from the production, stating, “I’m not sad that my show isn’t there anymore. After season five, it won’t be there anymore, and I won’t have to deal with that shady, corny leadership over there.

The drama apparently started when Keyes noticed his name being systematically erased from his own creation, which forced him to take professional action against Perry to protect his work. He revealed the behind-the-scenes battle, explaining that he had to call a union to have the situation rectified. While Perry is famous for his hands-on approach and writing his own scripts, Keyes claims that “The Boss” essentially locked him out of his own kitchen after the debut season.

Keyes explained the original vision for the series, noting, “I wrote the book…I wrote the pilot…I wrote that first season…Then the ‘Boss Man’ went in there and added 10 to 15 minutes to each episode writing-wise and wrote the 10th episode himself.” Apparently, this took place without Keyes’ consent.

As the show progressed on BET+, Keyes says the vibe shifted drastically, and the professional relationship became increasingly strained. He claims he was completely pushed out of the creative process that he started, which led to a decline in the quality of the storytelling.

Season two and season three is when ‘All The Queen’s Men’ got weird. Dudes started getting raped with dildos and all that weird s**t. Don’t nobody wanna see that s**t…Put that bulls**t on your show,” he stated directly to Perry.

It is officially clear that the honeymoon phase between Christian Keyes and TPS is a thing of the past. With season 5 serving as the final curtain call for the show, Keyes seems more than ready to take his talents and his ownership elsewhere to start a new chapter.
