Tyler Perry reveals childhood abuse.

After producing a film detailing the emotional and physical abuse of a young girl, actor and producer Tyler Perry has publicly recalled various incidents from his own childhood. For the first time, Perry has revealed tragic details concerning his own experiences of abuse via his website. Apparently, Perry was physically abused by his father, was sexually harassed and assaulted by the mother of a friend, and even abused by his own grandmother who tried to rid him of his germs by bathing him in ammonia.

His stories are graphic and heartbreaking, but we applaud him for being brave enough to not only speak out about his own experiences, but work on a film that may encourage others to come forward with their own stories as well.
