Tyler Perry Tell-All

Melvin Child's, a former Tyler Perry associate, is releasing a tell all book about the famous, or infamous, Tyler Perry.

"Producer Promoter Melvin Childs describes his disappointment after seeing Tyler Perry again for the first time years after the abrupt and painful parting of the ways.“That night was a turning point for me. Until that night, I had defended Tyler to anyone close enough to me to know the true story. I’m talking about the truth; not the spin he puts out on Oprah or the half-truth you can read on his website. I’m talking about the real story of how he went from being a failed playwright performing in churches for fifty people, to being Tyler Perry. I’m talking about the time in the beginning when I had lost my job and would take money from my wife and send it to Tyler to help pay his bills. I know what happened because I was there and, what’s more important, Tyler knows I was there. His words, “Melvin here was my first promoter,” rolled around in my mind as I got closer and closer to home. The more I thought about it, the more it started to piss me off. Was I just a promoter when you came to me for a loan because you didn’t have the money to pay your cast? Was I just a promoter when you called me to borrow money to buy;food or when I personally paid for the hotel you were living in while you were supposedly homeless? Maybe I was and if that’s the case, then so be it. But guess what? Regardless of what he wants to call me, I was there. And because I was there, I also have a story to tell."

I don't know what he feels Tyler owes him because I'm sure Tyler broke him off something once he made it. I'm sensing a bit of jealousy. How do I sense that? When he name dropped, Oprah, I knew he was jealous. I believe this man feels like he should reap more of Tyler's success because he was there when he had nothing. In the text, I see that Tyler acknowledge Melvin during that meeting, so I'm confused. Does he want more money? To sit next to Tyler on Oprah's couch? More acknowledgment? I'm not understanding what he wants. Everyone feels like they're owed something and that's not the case. Unless he details hot, butt naked sex between him and Tyler, I'm not going out of my way to read this book.
