17 year old Tiffany

Background[]

Presumably born on Halloween 1999 , Tiffany is the oldest child of Brian and Debrah. She has watched as a preteen her mother get put out of the house when she was on drugs. Brian is worried that Tiffany singing will lead to her doing drugs like her mother, Debrah. Brian lets Tiffany sing in the church choir after Mable (Madea) Simmons persuades him that it is constructive activity for a girl her age. After the event of Diary of a Mad Black Woman, the problems apparently haven't fully resolved. Debrah cheats on Brian with another man that she eventually marries and the children are now old enough to really realize what is going on. Tiffany becomes angry and resentful of both of her parents. As a teenager, she become rebellious and disrespectful as she continues to live with her father and does not want to go live with her mother either.

Diary of a Mad Black Woman[]

Brian is hesitant knowing that her mother, Debrah, did the same thing and looked for the same high in drugs when she couldn't do it with singing and got addicted. Madea convinces him that Tiffany is only doing what she feels she wants to do and that it is important for her to do something constructive with her time at that age.

Tiffany sings "Father Can You Hear Me?"

While riding in the car with her father, she sees her mother at a house and begs her father to stop the car so she can talk to her. He stops and she gets out to talk to her. She tells her that her dad let her sing in the church finally and that she wishes she would come and see her perform. She hints that she might not be able to go. Tiffany gave her the time and place in case she is able to go, then she kisses Debrah on the cheek and says bye as her father summons her to go.

Months later, at a Sunday service with her family, Tiffany sings the interlude to "Father Can you hear me" and excited the fellowship and then her mother, healthy and well, later joins them in the song much to Tiffany and the family's happiness. She embraces her mother with her family.

Madea's Family Reunion[]

Tiffany is mentioned a few times during the film.

Chronically, by the events of Madea's family reunion, it would make Tiffany approximately 14 years of age. Joe mistakes Nikki Grady for Tiffany saying they all "look alike". Seeing that Nikki needed help with her algebra homework, Madea gave her Tiffany's number so she can be her tutor. She tutored Nikki well as she came home with a 'B'. Nikki remarks that she wants to be a lawyer and she is going to call Tiffany. They apparently became friends during the tutoring sessions.

Notes[]

  • In Diary of a Mad Black Woman, she is portrayed by Tiffany Evans.
  • She makes friends with Nikki Grady while she helps her with her math homework. Tiffany is approximately one year older than Nikki Grady.
  • By the time of Madea's Witness Protection film, Tiffany should be at least 16 years of age.
  • At the latest chronicle Tyler Perry film, she should be at least of college age.
  • Given the release dates of the films, Tiffany’s age has been often debatable, as if turned 18 in Boo! A Madea Halloween 2 she would have been born in October 1999. However, this would’ve have only placed her as being 6 years old during Diary of a Mad Black Woman if the film occurred during 2005. The only logical explanation is if the date in the films do not coincide with their release dates.
