Movie mogul Tyler Perry rescues an American couple from Sandy Springs, GA being held hostage in Mexico after they couldn't pay their medical bill...
The ordeal began after Stephen Johnson went into diabetic shock aboard a Carnival Cruise and was taken to the infirmary where he stayed until they reached the port of Mexico where he was rushed to the hospital and stayed in ICU for the next 3 days. At the end of his stay Stephen and his fiancée were physically prevented from leaving the hospital until they paid $14,000.00 in cash. The hospital also stopped treating Stephen and took his call button.
That's when Tyler Perry stepped in. After hearing the story on the news, Tyler Perry called the couple and told them he is bringing them home.
Since Tyler Perry's call, the doctors have said Johnson is not well enough to fly and will be released after the weekend is over.
The hospital bill has since crept up to $16,000.00.
