UPDATED SEP 5, 2018

Geoffrey Owens, 'The Cosby Show' actor who was subjected to "job shaming" after photographs of him working at Trader Joe's made rounds of the internet, has received support from all quarters and a job offer from filmmaker Tyler Perry.

Taking to Twitter, Perry wrote, "I'm about to start shooting OWN's number one drama next week! Come join us!!! I have so much respect for people who hustle between gigs. The measure of a true artist."



 

On Tuesday morning, Owens appeared on 'Good Morning America,' proudly donning his Trader Joe's name tag. While he never intended to publicize his work at the store, he was shocked when images of him bagging groceries went viral last week.
