Despite receiving a light scolding from Tyler Perry for
pulling a billboard stunt to get his attention, Racquel Bailey can now for say
for sure that her $2,000 investment paid off as she was offered a spot in the
ace producer and actor's new project.
Recall that Tyler
politely chastised the actress for escalating her attention-grabbing tactics
with a billboard. He also told her she will be offered a spot in his movies if
she comes out good at his auditions which has no entry fee.
This is not the way to get my attention if you’re looking
for a role in one of my shows. Please DON’T DO THIS, SAVE YOUR MONEY!! This is
the third time that someone has done this. PLEASE STOP! To audition is FREE!!
I’m sure you can use that money for a better purpose,' he wrote in the lengthy
caption.
'I love that you want to work with me, and I love that you
invest in yourself. But when you do things like this it puts my team on high
alert and makes me look at you sideways. I know the message that you want to
send is a positive one, but this comes across as the opposite.
'And by the way, you were great in THE NIGHT OF! It was my
favorite show a couple years ago. I ALREADY SAW YOU!! So just audition and keep
your money!! Again, I appreciate your effort, but that’s not the way to work
for me. God bless you dreamer. I have no doubt you will make it one day!!' he
added.
The 32-year-old actress however moved on from that and has
been cast in a recurring role in Tyler Perry's new drama “Sistas". Racquel
spent last week in Atlanta at Tyler Perry Studios, which was where she
strategically placed her billboards in May.
TMZ reported that she
will be playing the police officer who had a past relationship with one of the
lead characters. Perry was on set directing the episode in which Bailey will
appear ... a dream come true for her.
Her billboard stunt
was quite successful as she was contacted by several casting directors
thereafter, got about 20 auditions and
landed 2 roles before the "Sistas" gig. She also has an audition with
some known directors coming up soon.
