I don't think Tyler Perry should even question his decision. He is right on all counts.

Keisha is like 30! If not older! Please. Oh and she is sooooo pretty. Not cute! She is a beautiful grown a$$ woman. Let us not forget Halle (who now has an oscar) played a hype in Jungle fever. She rocked that role! Good for you Keisha:-)

For the first time, I agree with all of you (except kato1982), and I hope Bill Cosby NEVER makes that call to Tyler. I saw the play a few years ago and it was hilarious--can't wait to see the movie. Btw, Keisha Knight played a very "unRudy" character is the movie Beauty Shop.

i think that it was a good message if he didn't have her change and make something of herself i would have a problem but he did have her make some thing of herself and that will minster to real prostitutes so if you are mad or have a problem with it shake off and let it go

Mr Bill Cosby and Mr Tyler Perry are two of the most brilliant minds in America---the World! I hope this "Issue" brought them together for communication and collaboration that will lead to something FANTASTIC! It's time! They're ready! We're Ready! Let's do this!
