Tyler Perry casts actress on one of his shows after criticizing her for buying billboards to grab his attention

"This is not the way to get my attention if you’re looking for a role in one of my shows," Perry wrote on Facebook in June, accompanied by a picture of one of actress Racquel Bailey's billboard ads. But Bailey's $2,000 investment has paid off, as she has been cast in a guest role on Perry's new BET series Sistas. “I have been dreaming of this since I was a little girl,” she texted the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I feel like my dreams are coming true. And it’s because I believed.”
