Tyler Perry responds after an online article claimed he blamed Jill Scott and Janet Jackson for holding the release of the third film ‘Why Did I Get Married?.’
According to Entertainment Tonight, Tyler blames Jill and Janet for prolonging a third ‘Why Did I Get Married’ film. The inaccurate claim came after Tyler interviewed with the publication.
“If Janet [Jackson] and Jill Scott say ‘Yes,’ there may be a Why Did I Get Married Again?” Perry said to ET’s Kevin Frazier. “So, waiting for them to say it. Waiting for the word.”

Tyler later addressed the comment and clarified his statement.
“I guess people write these kinds of headlines for click bate.” Perry wrote in an Instagram story post. “It’s sad. I didn’t call out Janet and Jill and they are not holding up another Why Did I Get Married. I haven’t written a word on a script, but I do have an idea and a concept of where our lives, and love would be fifteen years since the first one.”
He continues, “We’re fully grown now and I think some of our marriages would be solid. We wo uld be dealing with what most married couples are dealing with at our ages. Menopause, mid life crisis, our kids going off to start their own lives and marriages and our parents getting older. Also how you mature, in marriage it just starts to get better or fall apart. But again no one is holding up anything and I’m not calling anyone out. Stop the bs.”
Tyler released the ‘Why Did I Get Married’ in 2007 and the sequel in 2010.
