It was a bold move that apparently paid off! Racquel Bailey paid for a billboard to catch Tyler Perry’s attention…he saw it and she scored a gig on his new TV project. That said, she did get a light ‘scolding’ from Tyler about how she went about it.
Tyler got some backlash for the way he initially responded on Instagram. Regardless, she’s part of Tyler’s new show for BET called “Sistas.”
The success of the billboard kept paying off. After it went viral, Racquel was contacted by several casting directors and got about 20 auditions which led to booking 2 additional roles.
