Tyler Perry Breaks Down Crying on ‘The View’ Talking About His Late Mother
During his discussion of his new documentary, “Maxine’s Baby,” which bears his mother’s name, Tyler Perry broke down in tears. 2009 saw the passing of Perry’s mother, Maxine Willie Perry. After watching the documentary, Sara Haines said she thought she had gotten to know his mother. Perry is a 54-year-old director.
Perry was visibly emotional as he replied ,”OK. Wait a minute. That took me… You met… Wow. You met my mother? You met my mother through it? Wow. Thank you. Oh my god. Wow.” He continued through tears, “To say that you met her through that, that takes me somewhere, because this woman endured so much pain, and she didn’t have some legacy but she had me. To say that I was able to introduce her to you, you got me there, man. I’m sorry. Lord have mercy. Thank you for that. I appreciate that very much. Wow.”
“I just imagine a woman who’s lived her entire life with so much pain, and she was always worried about everybody else. I watched her get sick, I watched her get cancer, I watched her have all of these things, because her intention was, ‘Are you happy? Are you OK?'” he said. “She never put herself on the list. She never thought she was important, and she never thought anybody would care. So to say that this documentary… introduces her to the world, that moves me ’cause she was very much that special to me.”

Perry talked about the documentary on CBS Mornings Tuesday, mentioning that they filmed him for a decade to create the film. He emphasized, “It’s not a story that I’m telling … It’s my life,” expressing his desire to inspire others through his own challenges.
Perry added that all his efforts were dedicated to his mother, focused on providing for her and ensuring she had the necessary care and medication. Money was never his primary goal; it was about taking care of her.
Perry came clean about feeling like he had lost all motivation after his mother passed away. Like a car that requires a different kind of fuel, he made the comparison. The emergence of diverse talent in the industry, particularly those who were previously unemployed, serves as his source of motivation today. He continues because of this inspiration. November 17 is when “Maxine’s Baby” will be accessible on Prime Video.
