“Big Mama’s House” star Tyler Perry spoke out against what he refers to as the “voter suppression law” Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed last week.
The legislation has gained ire from liberal celebrities for requiring absentee voters to use state-issued ID’s to verify their identity when requesting a ballot, restricts early voting hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., makes weekend hours optional, limits the use of drop boxes, and condenses runoff reelections from nine to four weeks.
“As a Georgia resident and business owner I’ve been here a few times with the anti-abortion bill and the LGBTQ discrimination bill,” Perry, who owns a giant Atlanta film studio, remarked in a statement. “They all sent a shockwave through Georgia and the nation but none of them managed to succeed. I’m resting my hope in the DOJ taking a hard look at this unconstitutional voter suppression law that harkens to the Jim Crow era.”
He also encouraged his peers not to turn their backs on the state. “As some consider boycotting, please remember that we did turn Georgia blue and there is a gubernatorial race on the horizon — that’s the beauty of a democracy.”
“Indiana Jones” director James Mangold and “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill are calling for a boycott with the Twitter hashtag #NoMoreFilmingInGeorgia.
“I will not direct a film in Georgia,” Mangold tweeted. “Georgia has been using cash to steal movie jobs from other states that allow people to vote. I don’t want to play there. I’m not telling anyone else what to do.”
When asked about the director’s call to boycott the state, Hamill commented that he “absolutely” agreed with the motion.

when it comes to those Hollywood people, I do not give a hoot what they think, say or do. They are not in a normal life setting.
Typical delusional liberal. Has no capability to use common sense.
I’m 100% he did NOT read the bill.
If it’s from the mouth of a Hollyweird libturd, pay zero attention.
Obviously, this neanderthal doesn’t understand a single thing about “honest, legal elections’. As for the snowflakes’ threats to boycott Georgia and stop filming there; I say GO FOR THAT – -Georgia residents won’t have to keep cleaning up their trash!
There is so much Misinformation, Obfuscation and flat out Bald Faced Lies being made about Georgia’s Legislation, that realistically, there needs to be a multitude of Cease & Desist lawsuits being made to individuals, an entire industry, an entire political party, and numerous businesses.
Add Tyler Perry to the list of individuals telling bald face Lies.
What are they afraid of, losing fairly, nothing wrong with showing an ID you have to have ID to get tobacco, alcohol, in to certain buildings, get over it and play fair.
They can’t win without cheating 😊
I had to show my ID to buy lottery tickets so what’s the problem. These people are just plain idiots that want to get their 15 mins. of fame by making fools of themselves.
O h I guess you missed it where is stated he is a big time movie studio owner.. So now you should follow exactly what he says, as “THAT” status somehow makes him an authority on the matter!!
They are afraid of losing the voter Fauds.
You need ID to borrow a book from the library yet for something as vital as voting for the party of your choosing and for your rights , no need for ID here …. move along .
Perry’s IQ OF 24 Is being challenged by Hamill’s 26 . Please leave the planet .
You are right about showing an ID. You need one to get on welfare, get a drivers licence, collect your welfare check, are almost everything you do anymore.
These “stars” should actually read the bill before they open their mouths and spread false information.
Amazing how relevant these people think they are.
Let them do Georgia (and all of us) a favor and stay in California.
Who the heck is Tyler Perry! There they go again Liberals cannot stand it when they take
away their “Cheating and not obeying Law and Order” Get with it Liberals! Do things the
right and Lawful ways and you will actually feel better!
What else can we expect from the millions of brain dead idiots in this country who never bothered to learn a single thing about U.S. history or its constitution or Bill of Rights. These group think morons haven’t had an original thought in their entire lives are too ignorant to even have an opinion. These people’s whole existence is based on how they feel about something…..facts never matter to them.
They never explain why they say it is bad for voters or how minorities are negatively affected. Everyone has some form of ID. When someone goes and applies for welfare and government assistance they ask for an ID. Why doesn’t facebook or twitter ban these idiots for spreading misinformation.Oh, yes. They are helping them spread the crap.
ID to see a doctor, get medication, which 90% of seniors who they say can’t get an id are on. It would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetic how they have derailed an election under this bullshyte! And then demand to be able to do it again.
Surprise, Surprise. If this law passes they won’t be able to cheat as easily. Ahhhhh…They are plain disgusting.
They are just actors acting like they know things that they know aren’t so.
How else would you expect them to perform?
They are actors portraying fictional characters in fabricated movie plots
They just was to continue voter fraud, they’re scared of voter ID! If they go that route then we shouldn’t have to get ID’s for anything! Democrat socialists liberals are brain dead!
any person entering a Federal building must show a photo ID! Democrats, hollyweird, the left, they, are true racists.
So Tyler is a Constitutional lawyer too? Hardly. He’s the best example of a poor, oppressed Black. I call bovine excrement.
P
Oh the trouble of it all. you can’t get a f n vaccine without an ID. Their welfare check without an ID. is it that the blacks and minorities are too lazy to get an id? Was ByDumb right when he said they can’t get on line?
Systemic FRAUD at the ballot has been going on for DECADES! It’s about HIGH TIME IT STOPS! Tyler Perry can go play dress up, and create another stupid black movie flop, but stay away from politics and his next award should be a big glass of STFU!
LISTEN UP….AMERICA Needs ELECTION and IMMIGRATION REFORM. The US GOVT Needs to Get OFF their BEEHIVES and DO Something. What is TAKING SO LONG??? From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
What a dumbazz. He doesn’t even know when he is being insulted. What the left is telling you is that black people are too dumb or lazy to have an ID card, and can’t be trusted to take care of their own business. In other words just stay on the plantation a be a good servant and they will call you when it is time to vote and maybe give you some freebies and a free ride to the polls. How dumb can one be to buy into that crap?
I say stay in Hollywood. The fact that he surely DID NOT read the law or the Constitution. The states control their elections.
nazi’s be like nazi’s, always accuse others of what they’re doing themselves!!!
I guess I won’t be watching much baseball especially the all-star game this year..
Just remember snowflakes “Jim Crow” and all his policies were DEMOCRATE The party then and now of RACISM AND SEGREGATION……. read a friggin book and stop relying on google and the Nazi owned arian nation runned cnn and mslsd. They are eaten up with the dumba$$, low I.Q. knuckle dragging morons, I can’t believe we allow them to breed.
Exactly. For the life of me I just don’t understand why they don’t know the facts you just stated. My husband was having a conversation with a black DEMONKRAP not long ago, and he had no idea that Lincoln freed the slaves.
I was cringing.
He had no idea about that but I bet he knew everything about getting the free stuff.
” The late Nancy Reagan and Pope were ridiculed for their statements on drugs and abortion namely: just say no, and abstain. Another one was ,” you make your own bed and sleep in it.”
How is it all these people shop, work , barber ,visit , worship , vacation AND CANNOT GET TO A VOTING BOOTH?
For Tyler’s concerns , let the state, county, parish, municipality , provide transportation to and from the poll, put them to the head of the line, let them vote , and bring them no home. Suppose they are on vacation, traveling out of state, wedding , funeral , board exam- THEN TOO DAMN BAD.
How about a nice state issued voter ID when they graduate high school, or when they get their drivers license. Then every month, they can call the preceding year and give it, also they can do it when the drivers license is renewed.For those who can’t wait : CourtHouse , police sStation , Post Office .
NO ONE WANTS TO SUPPRESS VOTES ; BUT IF YOU THINK WE CAN HAVE; BALLOTS LAYING AROUND FOR MONTHS , NO FORENSIC BALLOT EXAMINATION, NO FORENSIC VOTING MACHINE EXAM, AND NOT CONDUCTED BY FBI , CIA , NSA,
YOU SHOULD THIONK AGAIN . THE 2020 ELECTION WAS SOUTH AMERICAN THIRD WORLD IN ERVERY ASPECT ; AS STALIN SAID ,” IT’S NOT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE THAT COUNT; IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO COUNT THE VOTES.”
Hahaha, let me do that again. Hahaha
You turds from all walks of Hollyweird.
Guess what??? NO ONE, NO ONE cares or gives a rat’s behind about your thoughts, feelings or opinions. GO AWAY!
Duh, we had to present our ID to get our COVID vaccine today. You need ID to get a drivers license, buy alcohol, visit a doctor office, go to the emergency ward, rent a car, get on an airplane, buy a firearm, buy cigarettes, drink in a bar, buy a car, buy a house, rent an apartment, get married, borrow books from a library, get employed, pay taxes, get a credit card, get an internet account, get a hotel/motel room, cash a check, register for a social security card, in many states you can get a State ID card for those who do not drive. To type this response I had to establish identity by providing ID ! I’m sure there are more that I may have missed.
My question is ..What are these complainers doing to make sure those who have somehow have “fallen through the cracks” get the needed ID?
Exactly, only idiots and democrats think otherwise…
The sad part of this controversy is that the real wording of the bill is being misinterpreted just as every thing else the Democrats don’t want to stop them from doing the same thing they did in 2020. God Bless the constitution and keep the elections in the control of the individual states.
A typical elitist of the fantasy world of hollyweird and their insane idea that their opinions really count. Well they DON”T. And talk about racist, this person is one of the pushers of racism. Just watch some of his productions, if you can sit through any of them.
Nobody, I repeat Nobody gives a rats rear end what Hollywood thinks about anything in the ” real world”.
Oh well, if a actor speaks, we must all pay heed! NOT!
The so-called director is really wanting to be a dictator where there is no vote but the rulers are installed by force, threats and intimidation.
Who in the hell is stupid enough to listen to actors and directors. They are often more stupid than the average citizens on the street. They think because they make films, some not very entertaining, they know it all. A conservative former Hollywood actor who made a success of themselves in the real world says the majority of liberals in Hollywood can’t think for themselves. Parts are written by others, produced by others, directed by others and they think they were the ones who made a film good. Once off the sets most of them, the non millionaires, are lucky to find a job doing anything, they don’t know how to work after play acting on film or stage. Look at the thought pattern of a liberal, they think that requiring ID to vote is racists, but not when you have to show ID to get welfare, to get on a plane, to go into some government offices, for most anything. They don’t want to insure a fair election, they want to give the criminals the chance to steal an election like they did in 2020.
Washed up hollywood idiots think they have the power to tell state officials what to do? When was the last time mark hamill had a job? Loser.
One question for this Hollywood sicko Did you read the bill? If you had you would not be so ignorant.
TYler Perry should read the Georgia law and then he will not appear to be as stupid as he does. The law is better for Georgia and Biden has been either lying or he is as goofy as he sounds.
They can’t stand to be told no cheating an lying allowed..holding them accountable ….get over yourself Mr Tyler Perry ..here’s a tissue for your issue!! DOJ should investigate AL Sharpton, Mitch McConnell and his wife, Nasty Nancy, the Clinton’s..the Obidens and Obama lama ding dong….
Are these people so STUPID? So thick-headed? What is suppressing the vote of anyone? I still think that ANY voting outside the ballot box, except for absentee voting for military, ill and the like is the only legitimate way to vote. If one can’t get off their arse, grap their DL or State ID, then they don’t deserve to vote.
It seems as though the racism is getting worse by the day. Now the racists are attacking a perfectly fair, pro American voting law change in Georgia, and begging for the federal government to do their bidding. This new law is designed to control and eliminate vote cheating in elections, like we all saw in the last crooked elections won by Democrats. All these people, and especially the Hollywood types are the verey worse racists in the country. They are also the most hard-over anti Americans in the country. Of course they are cheered by the crooked MSM, like the NY Times and the Washington Post, and ALL of big tech.
You dont know what unconstitutional is you idiot. Just keep dressing in womens clothes and stay out of politics.
Maybe the next time I watch I should check and see if he produce it and if he did watch something else
so ignorant. I hope somebody is compiling lists of these nonsensical, devoid of Critical thought actions. MLB ,Coca Cola, Delta … this guy . If you can get to 7 eleven for a 6 pack of beer or coke, you can manage a photo and a registration at a city hall , to vote. Absentee voting is legitimate if you’ve first furnished a photo and your signature to a lawful voter registration employee..
Americans will not be censored. The 2020 election was fraudulent. The mob Democrats, the media and Dominion worked in concert together to put Biden in office. We have the evidence which will soon come out.
Great keep the Hollywood leftist out of Georgia.
If it is unconstitutional to require an ID to vote then it is also unconstitutional to require an ID to:
•buy alcohol.
•buy cigarettes.
•obtain a marriage license.
•board an airplane.
•open a bank account.
•obtain medical assistance.
•purchase a gun.
•etc.
The Hollywood crowd is infested with Satanist, adrenochrome drinking, child abuse and pedophilia actors/actresses. The child sex trafficking problem is caused by supplying these sick, individuals with kids for their abuse, both sexual and psychological. The drug cartels help supply the kids for these people.
It must be nice to be rich and not know what the real world is like, ID for driving, flying, taking a cruise, cashing a check, signing a contract, watching an R rated movie etc.
Actors, directors and all of them did not read the bill. They are going on some dumb ass old man who also has been lying about what is in the bill. I am sick of all these liberal assholes commenting on things that they really know nothing about. I wonder what would happen to them if they had to get a real job and live in the real world.
Left-Wing douche-bag with zero knowledge of voter laws.
I don’t give a crap about Tyler Perry…never saw his horrible movies. Hollywood doesn’t elect officials…people do! So they your low pay jobs somewhere else.. in fact you re dive corporate welfare…so Shove it…
WHY doesn’t ANYBODY ACTUALLY READ IT BEFORE CONDEMNING IT!
Maybe dumpshits like Perry should take the time to read the bill. Before regurgitating Democrats Comunistic talking points.
By the Constitution. Voting should only be on Election day. And only citizens of the United States are allowed to vote. And if you can’t prove who you are you don’t have the right to vote.
Period end of discussion
I don’t know who Tyler Perry is, or why she seems to think her opinion has any more weight than any other American, but she can go jump in the lake.
