Tyler Perry’s film Acrimony was released in May 2018. However, the storyline of the psychological thriller still raises conversations on social media.
The story follows Melinda (Taraji P. Henson) and Robert (Lyriq Bent) who met in College.
Melinda goes against the wish of her sisters to build a relationship with a rich suitor and instead, falls in love with Robert.
She pays his way through college only to be told he is unable to find work because he is a felon and spent two years in prison for stealing shoes.
Before this period, she had an accident when she found him cheating. She loses her womb in the process and still had to fend for the same man that put her in the condition.
This continues for years until Robert meets his long lost friend who he cheated on Melinda with. She promises to help him speak with people who can help his battery project (he had been working on it for years) become a reality.
When Melinda finds out he’s still in talks with the said lady, she pushes Robert out of her house and divorces him even when he was apologetic.
Robert moves in with the new woman and soon, his battery project is brought to life.
He pays Melinda handsomely for her support, but now, Melinda wants more. She wants Robert back. She goes mad seeing that Robert is giving this woman the life he promised her.
Eventually, she kills Robert and dies in the process.
The question has always been, is who is at fault? Melinda or Robert? Twitter users continue to bear their minds on the storyline.

She acted so foolish hence her loss. 10million dollars is enough to lick her wounds. Her attitude to him instead of her sisters is my problem. If it’s me, I will frustrate my sisters and their husbands until I get my husband #ACRIMONY
