Tyler Perry sent Oprah a bouquet of flowers for her 59th birthday Tuesday. Nice.

Apparently it wasn’t a small one, because she injured her back picking them up.

Perry posted a mea culpa on Facebook, under the title, “I Feel So Bad.”

“I like to send really large flower arrangements to people for whatever occasion. Well, I sent one to Oprah for her birthday. She strained her back picking it up,” he writes.

 

“No joke! Feel better Oprah. Happy birthday. Sorry. :-(“

“Next year I’m sending her one rose. :-)”

The day before, Winfrey shared on Twitter that she was spending her birthday with longtime sweetheart Stedman Graham.

“Enjoying lunch with Stedman. No plans to leave p.j.’s all day,” she wrote.

The following day, she posted a picture of her surrounded with flowers (presumably Tyler’s) along with the words, “Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes.”

Perry was still feeling bad, she posted a message for him too: “@tylerperry no need to feel bad, love the roses and got an extra day in bed. Can you say #icepack”

Clearly there’s no hard feelngs. Winfrey inked a multi-year deal with Perry, under which he will executive produce, write and direct two new scripted series for OWN.
