In 2012, Bailey used her last paycheck to purchase a billboard in Atlanta asking Tyler Perry to cast her in his next movie. The stunt did not garner Perry’s attention in the way that Bailey had wished; however, she never gave up hope. This past June, Bailey shelled out thousands of dollars for a similar billboard.

At the time, time, Perry acknowledged that he’d seen the advertisement, but advised hopefuls to avoid stunts of this nature.

“This is not the way to get my attention if you’re looking for a role in one of my shows,” the director said in an Instagram post. “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.”
