American actress Taraji P. Henson has opened up about her relationship with filmmaker and actor Tyler Perry, describing him as a very good friend and expressing appreciation for the way he has treated her throughout their professional relationship.
Henson made the remarks while reflecting on her experiences working across different film and television productions. According to the actress, Perry personally contacted her and asked if she would like to travel to Italy, an invitation she happily accepted.
“Tyler Perry called and asked me if I’d like to go to Italy, and then I happily said yes to him,” Henson said.
The actress went on to describe Perry as a close friend and said she appreciates the manner in which he treats her.
“He’s a very good friend of mine, and I love how he treats me,” she added.
Henson also spoke about the financial aspect of her professional relationship with Perry, using humour to explain why she has no complaints about working at Tyler Perry Studios.
“I complain about working in many studios but I don’t have no problem with Tyler Perry’s studio because he rewards me professionally by sending me zeros,” she said.
Her comments highlight the relationship between professional recognition and compensation in the entertainment industry, particularly for established actors whose careers span multiple productions and studios.
Henson and Perry have worked together on several projects over the years, with their professional relationship extending beyond individual productions.
The actress has previously been vocal about issues surrounding compensation and working conditions in Hollywood, making her comments about being professionally rewarded particularly notable.
Her latest remarks, however, focused largely on her positive personal and professional relationship with Perry, whom she credited for making her feel appreciated for her work.
The comments have sparked reactions among fans, with many amused by Henson’s humorous reference to receiving “zeros” while also celebrating the friendship between the two Hollywood figures.
For Henson, the relationship appears to represent a combination of friendship, professional respect and financial appreciation—factors she says have made working with Perry a positive experience.
