Hellur! Family or not...don't even think about attempting to even use your first-cousin's celebrity name to promote your work....especially if your first cousin happens to be famed stageplay writer, movie producer, director (...and whatever else does he does) Tyler Perry. Perry's cousin Marlon Campbell tried to name drop his famous relative while promoting his own movie, only to learn that Mr. Madea wasn't having it. According to TMZ.com, Perry's lawyers got wind of Campbell's film Oblivious being marketed with the use of Perry's name and quickly sent a letter to Campbell, stating any connection between Tyler's work and Oblivious is "intentionally misleading" and "wrongfully infringes upon the economic value of Mr. Perry. Mr. Campbell does not have the right to use Mr. Perry’s name in the furtherance of Mr. Campbell’s endeavors. The use of Mr. Perry’s name in connection with the promotion of any projects of Mr. Campbell, you or your agency is intentionally misleading, constitutes a substantial misrepresentation of the facts and wrongfully infringes upon the economic value of Mr. Perry and his products and productions.”....
