Tonight we will be discussing the popular Tyler Perry movie, Acrimony. In 2018, Taraji P Henson starred in the movie, Acrimony, playing the character Melinda Gayle. The movie depicted a woman relentlessly supporting her man (Robert, played by Lyriq Bent) through all of his ups and downs-from dating to marriage, including infidelity, joblessness, poverty, all with the hopes of seeing his dream come into fruition. Throughout their marriage, they faced ridicule from family who witnessed what they interpreted as unreciprocated and wasted support from one member of the marriage- Melinda. After finally having enough and at the recommendation of her sister, Melinda decided to leave her husband.

Fast forward:

Not long after their divorce and after connecting with another woman, Robert’s dream was finally realized, and he received a very lucrative deal for his invention.

This leads me to ask a few questions:

1. Did Melinda stay too long?

2. Do you think Robert grew up in the marriage?

3. Did it take another woman to help him accomplish his ultimate goal?

4. Was he required to compensate Melinda for her sacrifices?

We will answer these questions and others?

Anika Truss and John Wilson will join the MNL Crew in the discussion.  She says her opinion might be a little different from most women. Join in to listen at 9 PM EST on Facebook or YouTube Live.
