Loni Love confesses to breaking Tyler Perry’s house rules
For Loni Love, some A-list rules were made to be broken
On the April 15 episode of E! network’s late-night talk show Nightly Pop, Loni Love admitted to having committed a principal faux pas at Tyler Perry‘s far-from-humble abode.
“Have you guys ever done this in somebody’s house when you were nosy and got caught?” co-host Nina Parker asked. “Keep it real.”

“I was there with you, remember that? I remember you doing that,” co-host and fellow comedian Kim Whitley laughed. “He said ‘don’t take pictures’ — told everybody don’t take pictures […] she didn’t care! She was like, click, click. Send me some of the pictures ’cause I didn’t get them!”

“I was like, looking all around,” Love laughed. “I said, ‘Tyler isn’t anywhere around, I’m going to sneak this little picture.’ Childish Gambino was performing so I was like, ‘I just want like one memory.'” But before she knew it, a hand landed on her shoulder and she turned to find a stealthy Perry, who swatted her phone away before she could manage a single shot of the billionaire’s mansion.
“Why were you so slow? You got to keep the camera in your cleavage and do a little secret,” Parker teased Love. “We all got enough to do that!”
