Tyler Perry, ‘shocked’ by ‘tWitch’ suicide, shares about his own attempts to end his life

The multi-hyphenate, 53, posted a video to Instagram Thursday, which he addressed to “any of you who are going through hard times, struggling.”

Perry was “shocked” by the death of 40-year-old Boss, the dancer, DJ and producer perhaps best known for his work on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” The ‘House of Payne’ creator noted Boss was “always full of life.”
