Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry can look back on his life now and be proud of all of his accomplishments but growing up, things weren’t so positive for the filmmaker. During an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Perry revealed for the first time publicly that he had been the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of four different people. On top of that, he suffered constant physical abuse at the hands of his father and grandmother. The molestation, particularly by the men, left Perry confused about his own heterosexuality, something that he battled internally with even in his twenties.
