Meghan Markle treated Tyler Perry like 'a therapist' after fleeing royal family
foxnews.comTyler Perry is speaking out about his friendship with Meghan Markle. The filmmaker recently sat down with Kelly Ripa for her podcast "Let’s Talk Off Camera." The talk show host, who brought up the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during their conversation, noted that the "Madea" star "basically rescued" the couple when they arrived in California.
Prince Harry and Markle stepped back as senior royals in 2020. At the time, they cited what they saw as the media’s racist treatment of the duchess, 42, and a lack of support from the palace. "Everybody thought Oprah introduced us, but Oprah didn’t even know that I reached out to them," Perry clarified.
Perry revealed that he once shared the same publicist as the duchess. "I sent them a note… and just said, ‘If you ever need anything, I’m here,’" the 54-year-old recalled. "And she called me months later and just talked to me like I was a therapist.
