I try not to be too critical of Tyler Perry because he employees so many black people, but he is pushing it. Joel Osteen doesn’t need another $250k and he certainly doesn’t need someone standing up for his scammish behavior, but that is exactly what Perry did.
“I know that there’s been some controversy about Joel Osteen and him not opening doors of the church. Let me tell you something: Joel and Victoria are amazing people. There is no way they would lock people out of the church and not let people in for shelter. There were some safety concerns. I spoke to them on the phone, and it all made perfect sense to me so before you just run and judge somebody really quick, you need to know the whole circumstances…
This million dollars, I’m breaking it up into quarters. I’m sending $250,000 to Lakewood to make sure that they can get all the supplies that people need. I know that they will, I know for sure that they will, because that’s the kind of person he is.”
Some thing Perry is a scammer as well, but I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Trust me a lot of that $250k is going right into Osteen’s pocket.
