“Obsession runs in the blood.”
Tyler Perry returns with Acrimony 2, a searing continuation of the 2018 psychological thriller that dives deeper into the tangled web of love, betrayal, and vengeance. But this time, Melindaβs story ends where another begins.
After Melindaβs shocking and untimely death, her estranged younger sister, Vanessa (Keke Palmer), discovers a hidden journalβa raw, volatile record of confessions, betrayals, and unrelenting rage. As she reads, Vanessa becomes consumed by Melindaβs account of Robert (Lyriq Bent), now living in luxury with his wife Diana (Gabrielle Union), basking in the success Melinda claimed to have built.
But the more Vanessa uncovers, the less certain she becomes. Was Robert the cold-hearted manipulator Melinda described⦠or was Melinda herself far more dangerous than anyone knew? Grief blurs into obsession, and the line between justice and vengeance begins to fracture.
The journal told her one truth. But every truth has another side.
As paranoia deepens and buried secrets claw their way to the surface, the story hurtles toward a tense, heart-stopping confrontation aboard a luxury yachtβan echo of the first filmβs unforgettable finale. With shocking twists, moral ambiguity, and a final reveal that will leave audiences reeling, Acrimony 2 is a gripping, emotionally charged descent into the darker side of love.
