Fresh off his BET and BET + success, Tyler Perry is back with a new film for Netflix, Fall From Grace.

The film, which debuts on January 17 and was filmed at Tyler Perry Studios, stars Crystal Fox as Grace Waters, a woman who finds love with a handsome stranger (Mehcad Brooks) after her ex-husband’s affair. However, things aren’t quite what they seem and the only person who can help Grace put her life back together is a rookie public defender (Bresha Webb).

The film also stars Perry, Cicely Tyson, and Phylicia Rashad.

Take a look:

Now, just in case you may have missed it, the wigs on Brooks and Perry’s heads are quite perplexing. Like…were they even necessary to tell this story? That, and why does he keep doing this?

I mean, Sir? Explain yourself.

Since the trailer dropped on Friday, Black Twitter got #TylerPerry trending, not only asking questions about these wigs but also wanting to know why the media mogul is so obsessed with films about Black women suffering at the hands of evil men.

Here’s what they had to say:

1.

When will Tyler Perry leave black women alone https://t.co/O3gzOwdwau

Wait a minute. Tyler Perry really took the exact same plot line from his play Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned and turned it into this Netflix movie. And gave Mehcad Brooks a terrible wig along the way. WHAT IS HAPPENING.

Tyler Perry built an entire White House replica but still hasn’t evolved beyond beauty supply & drama department wigs for his productions.

Maybe he really is straight after all.

Tyler Perry making all this money and keeping the same $13 budget on wigs is a case study. https://t.co/W1LGGLH0rD

Tyler Perry spent all that money on that studio, but can’t afford decent man wigs for his actors. For shame 🤦🏾‍♂️

I loved what Tyler Perry did with his studio....

But that new Netflix trailer got me fed up.

That battered black women narrative. The heinous male wigs.

Did Netflix not give Tyler Perry a wig budget? Or were they like, "Here's your wig budget," and he was like, "Thanks, but nah. I got a box of wigs out back."

Is that what happened?

I truly hate this for us. I’m absolutely convinced that Tyler Perry hates black women. Why we gotta suffer and snap in all his movies. And let’s not get into the wigs. 😤

What the fuck is that thing sitting on top of Mehcad's head? He's finally been hit by the bad wig monster from Tyler Perry, huh? Jeez.

If there isn't a scene of Mehcad Brooks maniacally removing that lace front high top wig I am going to be so disappointed.

Tyler Perry refuses to produce a show that doesnt involve the emotional abuse, torture, and beating of the downtrodden black women https://t.co/RzFKCLhP1I
