Tyler Perry is saying that Bobbi Kristina did not walk off his show despite earlier reports that she in fact did quit the show.

Here's what the television mogul said:

"I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of For Better Or Worse. NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finshed taping the season."

Apparently, people were running their mouths and not knowing what they were talking about.

Perry also expands upon why he cast Bobbi Kristina on his show in the first place.

Here's what he said:

"After Whitney's funeral, Krissi and I spent a long time talking about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to act. That’s when I decided to write her into "For Better Or Worse". I thought that there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her something to focus on. Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the acting or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother."

Wow, sounds like Perry really cares about her.

The director finally said:

"PLEASE LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE!!!! AND SHE IS A BABY!!! Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and grieve.
 
IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD WOULND’T YOU WANT THAT?"

Powerful, emotional stuff.

We're glad such a positive person has got Bobbi Kristina's back!

She definitely needs support through this emotional part of her life.

Way, way too soon.

In not-so-shocking news, Bobbi Kristina has walked off Tyler Perry's TBS comedy television show For Better Or For Worse.

The still grieving daughter felt she could not handle her responsibilities and was still VERY upset over the passing of her mother Whitney Houston.

Bobbi had been making $30,000 per episode, but apparently she has been receiving money from her late mother's estate, so money was not a factor in her decision.

Here's what one source said:

“She thought she was ready for this, but she wasn’t, Bobbi Kristina had a private breakdown and barely anyone saw it. She was crying and said she needed a minute, she needed a break to get herself together. But then she decided she couldn’t handle doing the show right now. She’s still mourning her mom.”

We don't blame her. She's so young and to lose the closest person to her at such an early age in life - this is to be expected.

Tyler Perry is concerned about the girl, but now he has to do major rewrites on the show explaining Bobbi's character sudden exit, so most of his time is dealing with that.

We wish the both of them the best of luck.

As reported earlier, Tyler Perry's digs in the ATL were set ablaze late last night.

While originally everything was hush hush, the director/writer's camp has released a statement to clarify what went down at Tyler Perry Studios

It reads:

Nope, it's not the name of his next multi-bagillion dollar movie, Tyler Perry's Atlanta studios literally caught on fire last night around 8pm!

Eeeeee!

Witnesses in a nearby apartment complex claim flames extended over six stories high and caused popping sounds inside the building.

But, by midnight, firefighters on the scene had localized flames to small hot-spots throughout the complex. Phew!

There is no word as to what actually caused

Not that kind of proposal, but rather, one that asks Tyler Perry for a role!

Gurl knows how to make a statement!

Racquel Bailey spent all the money she had on a self-promoting billboard in hopes of snagging Tyler's attention — and she definitely got ours!

The billboard, which cost around $1,500, is about two miles away from his studio in Hotlanta!

Here's what she said:

"I hoped he would see it while he was driving to work, or on his way home from work, or that someone would see it!"

We'd be pretty surprised if this didn't work out for her somehow — she even included a link to her website, which has her acting reel… for all to see!

And she ISN'T that bad!

What an out-of-the-box idea! We love it when people take initiative!

To serve, to honor, and to… Racially Profile?

Film director, Tyler Perry, says he was a victim of racial profiling.

He claims two police officers pulled him over for making a illegal turn and then the Atlanta boys in blue proceeded to interrogate Perry.

Serious incidents like this should not be happening.

Let's get on this, people.
