Tyler Perry says he's committed to filming in Georgia despite backlash against the state's 'heartbeat' abortion law.
Tyler Perry said he cannot"just up and leave" filming in Georgia despite Hollywood's backlash against the state's"heartbeat" abortion law.
But Perry, whose hits include the"Madea" franchise and"Why Did I Get Married" films, said he is committed to staying put. Some actors and actresses such as Alyssa Milano, Mark Hamill and Mandy Moore have suggested a boycott against filming in Georgia. Others, like Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams are proceeding to shoot their HBO show"Lovecraft County," but said they will donate all of their"episodic fees" to organizations fighting the law including the ACLU of Georgia and Fair Fight Georgia.
"I don't believe any man should be able to tell a woman what she can do with her body or reproductive organs," he said.
