Having initially gained fame as an actor, Perry later focused on directing and producing. Shortly after "Mea Culpa" became available on Netflix, he faced criticism from several viewers who found the plot "boring." The film features Kelly Rowland as a criminal defense attorney who agrees to defend a man accused of murdering his girlfriend.
Criticism and backlash against the movie have flooded social media platforms such as Twitter, with users expressing their disappointment. One user wrote, "This movie is boring... #MeaCulpa," while another stated, "#MeaCulpa is the worst movie I've seen in a long time. The acting is so terrible it was cringe-worthy to watch, and the storyline is predictable and boring. What a waste of time."
Despite the negative reception for his film, Perry had shown support for the Sussexes following their highly publicized exit from the royal family. During an interview on NBC's Today in 2022, he spoke about the couple, saying, "Yes, it was a very difficult time for them. What I know about the two of them, that I wish the world knew, is how much they love. These two people love each other. The love they have is really, really moving, and I just wanted to do anything I could to support them."
