Who is Tyler Perry’s stepfather Emmitt Perry Sr.?

Emmitt Perry Sr., a carpenter, was a man “whose reaction to everything was to beat it out of you,” according to Perry, who has opened out about his upbringing.

The beatings eventually became so severe that his mom’s sister, Mayola, brandished a gun at his father and warned his mother, Willie Maxine, to always take Perry with her when she left the house on errands going forward.

He has three biological children who are Emmbre Perry, Yulanda Wilkins, and Melva Porter.
