Tyler Perry says Lee's criticism is insulting
Tyler Perry responded on the TV program 60 minutes to Spike Lee's criticism last May which claimed that Perry's work demeans African Americans.
Filmmaker Perry responded to Lee's criticism Sunday saying it pissed him off and insulted him.
Read below Lee's criticism as quoted on 60 Minutes :
