Yesterday, a billboard was put up in Atlanta by actress Raquel Bailey who was trying to get noticed by Tyler Perry.

Well, Raquel Bailey got noticed by Tyler Perry, but NOT in a good way because he responded and this was NOT what she wanted to hear…

CelebNMovies247.com reports that Tyler Perry saw the actress Raquel Bailey’s billboard that read “ATTENTION MR. PERRY Raquel Bailey is your NEXT leading lady.”

Tyler Perry saw the billboard and had this to say to Raquel Bailey:

Auhhh…. soooooo…… here’s the deal. This is not the way to get my attention if you’re looking for a role in one of my shows. Please DON’T DO THIS, SAVE YOUR MONEY!! This is the third time that someone has done this. PLEASE STOP! To audition is FREE!! I’m sure you can use that money for a better purpose.

I love that you want to work with me, and I love that you invest in yourself. But when you do things like this it puts my team on high alert and makes me look at you sideways. I know the message that you want to send is a positive one, but this comes across as the opposite.

He goes on to let her know all she has to do is an audition for him and he will decide if she is his “next leading lady or not.”

Again, the best way to work for me is to AUDITION and it’s FREE! We post breakdowns all the time for actors. JUST COME AND AUDITION.

And by the way, you were great in THE NIGHT OF! It was my favorite show a couple of years ago. I ALREADY SAW YOU!! So just audition and keep your money!!

Again, I appreciate your effort, but that’s not the way to work for me.

God bless you dreamer. I have no doubt you will make it one day!!

Yeah, Tyler NEVER forgets and will always make sure to bring it up to Raquel Bailey if she ever auditions for him now. Good Luck girl.
