Tyler Perry offers Geoffrey Owens role in upcoming drama after he's shamed for working at Trader Joe's
Perry, who was the highest paid man in entertainment between 2010 and 2011 and is best-known for creating the Madea character, took to Twitter to sound out Owens about the opening
The latest development in the Geoffrey Owens job-shaming ordeal that has the internet and social media up in arms is that Tyler Perry has offered the 57-year-old actor a job. Photos of the former 'The Cosby Show' star working the counter at a Trader Joe's in New Jersey went viral the past week with major publications such as Fox News and Daily Mail appearing to mock the actor's new job and increased weight.
Following the increased attention and publicity around his job at the supermarket chain, Owens decided to quit. However, it appears as though he won't be unemployed for too long, with Perry offering him a role on an Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) drama series.
