Later that month, Perry responded in an interview by stating that he had experienced issues when working with both WGA writers and nonunion writers. He claims that the WGA writers would submit "scripts that would need rewrites in order to get paid multiple times." He also said that nonunion writers struggled to meet his standards of quality and that he "was unhappy with every single script they wrote" because "they were not speaking to the voice."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2020/01/tyler-perry-addresses-writers-room-controversy|title=Tyler Perry on Why He Doesn't Have a Writers' Room: 'My Audience Wants My Voice'|website=Complex|language=en|access-date=January 23, 2020}}</ref>
