Famous actor, director, and comedian, Tyler Perry is the last person you would expect to be a victim of abuse. He always seems so out there and so carefree. But in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey he revealed everything he went through as a child, and it was nothing short of horrific. His father was physically abusive towards Perry and his three siblings to the point where Perry once attempted suicide in order to escape the beatings.
He was molested by his mother's friend when he was ten years old, as well as by three other men prior to this. Our hearts break to think of Perry as a small child, having to go through all of this. We're so happy he managed to achieve success despite everything that happened. It takes a really strong person to do it.
