Tyler Perry, our favorite multi-hyphenate superstar, is officially DONE with insurance companies, and honestly, can you blame him? Watching the chaos of the L.A. wildfires has him clutching his pearls – and not in a Madea way. He’s appalled, disgusted, and frankly, ready to put some people in their place.
Here’s what went down: Perry stumbled upon a gut-wrenching Instagram video of a woman refusing to evacuate her parents’ home because their fire insurance was unceremoniously yeeted into the void. Cue the Tyler Perry dramatic gasp. This wasn’t your average, “Aw man, that sucks” reaction. Oh no, Perry hit the ‘Gram early Sunday morning with a message that was basically, “Is anyone else seeing this nonsense or is it just me?”
He didn’t hold back. “How is it that insurance companies can waltz into communities, rake in billions over decades, and then hit us with a, ‘Sorry, not sorry’ when things get hot – literally?” He’s calling BS on their ability to ghost on the very people who made them rich, and honestly, we’re here for it.
Now, because Tyler Perry is Tyler Perry – a man who probably hands out kindness like Oprah hands out cars – he’s not just venting. Oh no, he’s already brainstorming ways to help. If history’s taught us anything, it’s that when Perry says he’s “looking into it,” that probably means big checks, heartfelt gestures, and solutions we didn’t even know we needed.
Meanwhile, insurance companies are scrambling to explain why their idea of “fire safety” is apparently to cancel 70,000 policies faster than you can say “Pacific Palisades.” Yes, that’s right, State Farm, we’re looking at you. Oh, and don’t think we forgot about that whole 70% of Pacific Palisades being uninsurable. Turns out, the area’s been all but charbroiled, making it look less like luxury real estate and more like a post-apocalyptic set from one of Perry’s films.
California is now staring down what experts are calling an “insurance crisis.” Translation: Insurance companies might just collectively throw in the towel and leave homeowners to fend for themselves. And while the state debates what to do, Perry’s out here taking names and (probably) writing checks.
Tyler Perry is mad, and you should be too. Whether it’s fixing the system, helping L.A. recover, or simply dragging these companies on Instagram, you can bet he’s not done yet. Watch this space – the Perry Payback is coming.
