Tyler Perry has been accused of casting a lookalike of Mo'Nique in his new film in what some fans suspect to be a dig at his longtime nemesis. In Perry's "Divorce In the Black," which premiered Thursday, actress Ursula O. Robinson plays Linda, the mother of Cory Hardrict's character Dallas.

Tyler Perry Shocks Fans With Mo'Nique Lookalike In New Film, A Likely Dig At Nemesis

One of the most enduring mysteries in the entertainment industry is Tyler Perry, whose adamancy in proudly putting his name in the title of execrable garbage like Divorce in the Black is utterly mystifying.

His first release for Prime Video—and the first of a four-film deal with Amazon—is atrocious.Perry opens Divorce in...

Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict sing Tyler Perry‘s praises for how he directed them in his latest film, Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black. “It’s been incredible. I mean, Tyler is an angel and a genius and a beautiful spirit. And for us to be able to do this movie together, we had a lot of fun,” Good said in a recent interview with Blavity’s Shadow and Act.” We just got to kind of go for it and I also just think that the way that Tyler directs for me–I mean, I think Cory would probably agree–it’s wonderful because it’s like, we go in and it’s definitely a challenge and you’ve got to be completely over-prepared, but you’re also able to play. And then,he also challenges you to try different things or to approach it a different way. So the experience across the board was awesome. It was really, really, really fun.”
