At the behest of Carnival, Johnson sought treatment and was hospitalized in Progreso, Mexico, where he spent three days in intensive care"
First mistake this couple made was not having health or travelers insurance..once he recovered, he was charged with a $14,000 bill that the couple was unable to pay..They requested if they could work out a payment plan and they were denied and barred from leaving the hospital. Hospital staff also locked the windows and threatened to call police if the couple attempted to leave....
Upon hearing about this, Tyler Perry agreed to pay the couple's medical bills as well as cover the cost of their travel back to their home in Atlanta, where Tyler also resides...Tyler is a great guy and he is no stranger to helping those in need -- his personal story is also remarkable...
