The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Alfonso Ribeiro does not seem to be a fan of Tyler Perry, as he let a social media user know not to expect to see him in any Perry productions.
Alfonso Ribeiro did not specify why he has no interest in working with Tyler Perry. In a recent interview, Ribeiro expressed that portraying Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air hurt his standing as an actor. Tyler Perry has become a polarizing figure. Many of his supporters praise the billionaire filmmaker/playwright for employing Black talent who may get overlooked or rejected by the Hollywood establishment. In contrast, critics complain about Perry’s characterization of the Black community in his projects, particularly Black men. He also faces critiques for the overall quality of his television shows and movies.
