Video: Tyler Perry rips Spike Lee
Tyler Perry, appearing on 60 Minutes, said he was "insulted" and "pissed off" by Spike Lee's criticisms of Perry's hit TV shows and movies.
Lee recently called Perry characters such as Madea examples of "coonery" and "buffoonery."
"I would love to read that [criticism] to my fan base," Perry told 60 Minutes correspondent Byron Pitts. "All these characters of mine are bait, bait to get people talking about God, love, family, and faith."
