According to Actress Racquel Bailey, Tyler Perry worked as a billboard

EXCLUSIVE

The actress who has set up a billboard desperately trying to get Tyler PerryThe attention paid to a job says that the waterfall worked … because she managed an audition.

Racquel Bailey joined "TMZ Live" on Friday and revealed that – even after the famous director had a little scolded for the stunt – she had a chance to audition for him. Watch the clip … Racquel says that Tyler's team contacted her and asked her to submit a tape. Obvi, she did it.

You will remember that Tyler went to Instagram on Thursday to call Racquel … saying that the waterfall was the third time that someone was paying money for a billboard to attract her stare.

Tyler basically gave him the compliment sandwich: he appreciated the passion, declared that the waterfall was not very beautiful and closed the door saying that he did not doubt that she was in would come out one day.

BTW … Tyler also said that he saw his work – she appeared in 2 episodes of "The Night Of" from HBO – and likes it. So, maybe it was not the billboard that sent her back.

Racquel, on the other hand, said that Tyler's conference did not bother him … not the least. In fact, she says that Tyler's post has lit a fire under her ass.

That did not stop him from showering Tyler with praise. Clever.
