Tyler Perry Had A Rocky Childhood

Tyler was born to Emmitt Perry Sr, who worked as a carpenter. So, naturally, the family didn't have much financial freedom back then. Additionally, the family consisted of three other siblings besides Tyler, making it even harder.

Tyler's father would always beat him as a child, pushing him into suicidal thoughts. However, his mother was much more kind to him. She would take him to church every week. When he was sixteen, he legally changed his name to Tyler from Emmitt Jr to escape from his father.

Tyler Was Not The Biological Son of Emmitt Perry Sr

Tyler revealed a shocking fact about his family after he stated that Emmitt Perry Sr was not his biological father. In an interview at 2014 Women's Empowerment, he said:

"I love my mother to death but she lied to me."

After the death of Willie Maxine Perry, he took a DNA test along with his brother, who opened up about the fact that they didn't share the same father. In addition, he took Emmitt Perry's DNA, which further confirmed the truth.

To this day, Tyler hasn't found his real father, but he continues his search.
