Tyler Perry is giving $1 million to Harvey relief—but there's a controversial catch

in #news7 years ago

Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry announced on Thursday that he's giving $1 million to aid relief efforts in Texas, which seems great and generous. But there's a weird catch.

Some of that money is going to controversial televangelist Joel Osteen who has been under fire for initially not allowing folks to take shelter in his church, Lakewood.
"I was trying to find the right charity to donate to because in the past I have given millions and millions of dollars to charities and was just really disheartened to find out the money I had given didn't actually get to the people," Perry said, explaining that he was looking for people doing work on the ground in Houston.

“I know that there’s been some controversy about Joel Osteen and him not opening the doors of the church,” Perry said. “Joel and Victoria are amazing people; there’s no way that they would lock people out of the church or not let people seek shelter.”
