Tyler Perry is ready to talk about his childhood "hell," in which he was sexually and physically abused by family members. And he's talking to Oprah Winfrey in his first interview on the subject.
The filmmaker choked back tears as he recalled the day he "died," when he was first raped by a member of his family. He said he once blacked-out for three days. As the tears gave way to rage, Perry told Winfrey, "It's so disgusting."
The "Why Did I Get Married?" director first raised the subject of his abusive childhood in 2009, when he posted a letter on his website after experiencing a flood of memories following a screening of the Oscar-nominated "Precious," which he co-produced.
"My father came home, mad at the world," he wrote. "He was drunk, as he was most of the time. He got the vacuum cleaner extension cord and trapped me in a room and beat me until the skin was coming off my back."
And he tells of how his grandmother made a bizarre attempt to rid him of his allergies. "She said she was going to kill these germs on me once and for all," he says. "She gave me a bath in ammonia."
A video of dead Dayna Kempson-Schacht recorded after her car crash is prompting outrage. The “death video” of Dayna Kempson-Schacht, a mother of two, was recorded by her ex-brother in law, a Georgia firefighter. On the Today Show Tuesday, Dayna Kempson-Schacht’s parents called for changes to law enforcement policies.
Dayna Kempson-Schacht had crashed her SUV July 17. She immediately perished. The 23 year old’s ex-brother-in-law was dispatched to the crash scene. He immediately pulled out his cellphone and began recording a video of Dayna. That is where the problem began, says Dayna’s father. Dayna Kempson-Schacht’s parents claim that legislation should be enacted barring law enforcement from carrying personal cellphones on the job. They claim that, by having access to personal digital devices, police can digress from the call to duty and engaged in misconduct. “Any responder on any scene at any time who’s allowed to have his cell phone could take these videos.”
The Spalding County Sheriff’s office has yet to conclude its investigation. But it confirms the video was recorded by a personal cellphone.
The firefighter’s antics didn’t end there. He later took the cell to a local bar and replayed the video for drunk patrons. Not yet complete, the firefighter started texting the video to others. It remains unclear who uploaded the video online. And despite logic, the firefighter once called to the scene never attempted to rescue the deceased Dayna. He simply stood there and recorded her.

In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now.
I know that cover just blew yall minds ... I wish yall could see how hard I'm smiling right now!!!
In all honesty ... I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug! I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity.
So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings.
