It's Critical

Filed under: Sad Sad

It's more serious than previously reported!

Bernie Mac has been in the hospital the last few days for pneumonia.

This weekend, his flack told the media that he was 'responding well to treatment' and would basically be in the clear in no time.

However, a source close to the family disputed the mouthpiece's all-is-well claims and revealed to the Chicago Sun Times that Bernie is in "very, very critical" condition.

Sad, sad and very scary!

We hope he's well soon.

    I don't get it? What the fuck happened to him? It's not like he's in his 80's. This is the 2000's! Why is a young guy dying of pneumonia and plus-WHO THE FUCK GETS PNEUMONIA IN THE SUMMER? Weird.

    He has sarcoid, which by itself or what's usually used to treat it can make him more susceptible.

    Ya… Cambe… is it AIDS related? Sad, but these days when you hear about pneumonia esp pushing a younger person (not 80+) into critical condition, it makes you instantly thing AIDs.

    Is this the same person that you tried to infer was in hospital for a drug related matter the other day Perez? That's right you attempted to infer that people were only rushed to hospital for drug or alcohol problems and that his illness was just a cover for this. What you failed to do was actually tell the truth and made up a heap of lies once again in order to make out to people that you had the 'true' inside information from your non existent exclusive contacts. What you failed to reveal was the fact that this poor man has suffered from sarcoidosis for the past 20 years. What is sarcoidosis Perez? Well I will give you the inside since you appear not to care about other people due to your over inflated ego and delusion that you are so famous that telling the truth is beyond you. The short version of sarcoidosis is it is an inflammation of the tissues that can affect any organ and can be quite painful. It may even lead to blindness if the tissues around the eye are affected. So Perez how about you start being a bit honest and tell people the truth when you blog instead of trying to defame a very sick man with stories of non existent drug related admissions to hospital.

    I guess you still don't feel bad about saying he has a drug problem you fat fuck.

  33. 33

    You are such a hypocrite! You were so busy saying, "that mean drugs" when this happened, you seriously need to look at your attitudes towards illness, you have a serious problem dealing with it, and blaming people for illness won't protect you, it's delusional.
    I hope he gets better.
    The First poster, ////, to answer you, there are many reasons to get pneumonia, inhalation of food, latent infection, genetic predisposition, weakened immune system, compromised by chronic illness (Bernie has one) in fact, people can have what's called "walking pneumonia" for years, as they are treated with Rx and periodic trips to the hospital. I have these in the ER.

    I HOPE YOU APOLOGIZED FOR SAYING HE WAS ON DRUGS OR ALCOHOL AND NEEDED REHAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT NOW!!!!!!!!! YOU TURN ON GOOD PEOPLE EVERY DAY FOR NO REASON, EXCEPT TO SPREAD VENOM AND GET RICH OF IT…KARMA, EVER HEARD OF IT????????????

    It would have been better if you had not said anything. I remember reading your disgusting comment the other day accusing him of being a drug addict. How does it feel tripping over your tongue every time you open your mouth?

    He's fine! The guy needs the attention. His show sucks and nobody watches it and his career is hurting. He'll be ok.

    Yeah, guess you were wrong Perez. I think you owe him and his family an apology for implying that this was drug related. And now of course, you act like you are soooooo concerned about him, when really you are just disappointed that you were wrong. It would be so much more interesting if it were drug-related wouldn't it???

    For heaven's sake, getting pneumonia has nothing to do with the weather! He doesn't look like he's in very good physical condition and then he's got that other disease. Sure hope you pull through Bernie Mac!!!

    Perez you owe this man an apology for implying a drug related hospitalization. If you did some research ( I understand you don't do that ) you would have discovered Bernie Mac had this problem a few years ago. He actually had double Pnemonia the last time and almost died that time as well. He spoke about it in numerous interviews when he was promoting a movie he was in. I guess this is going to be reacurring problem in his life. I wish him well in his recovery.

    Remember some time ago he disappeared for about a year. It was right around the time Oceans 13 came out becuase he didn't do any press with the guys. There not o sign of him anywhere and no talk of what happened. Many months later it was releived that he had "pneumonia" and passed out at home and was in a comma. And if you notice, since his last bout with "pneumonia" he is not the same. He speak is slow and slured. Who in the hell goes into a comma due to pheumonia. Now he has "pneumonia" again? How convenient. He had a stroke, why dont they just admit it alredy! Anyways, get well Mac Man.

    See. You were wrong. You owe him and his family a HUGE apology for saying Pneumonia really means drugs.
    You are a fat racist greasy pig, who defamed an innocent person, Bernie Mac, when he was too sick to defend himself.
    I hope his family sues your racist ass. Not all black people in Hollywood are drug addicts once they go to the hospital.

    FAT GREASY UGLY PIG PEREZ - APOLOGIZE!!

    He probably has AIDS when you hear of pneumonia in this day and age , it translates to nothing other than HIV, AIDS.Sorry fans but watch this space you may hear more disturbing things soon.

    Boy ignorance is rampant here isn't it. You morons who think the only reason a younger person could get pneumonia "especially in the summer" are so sadly stupid!!! Cameron Diaz's dad was in his fifties and died from pneumonia.. There are many reasons for pneumonia, couldn't we just be compassionate for once and wish the guy a swift recovery instead of trying to make him an addict or and HIV patient?

    in the previous posting reztard was blaming drugs!??????? hey reztard maybe if you knew more about drugs than nancy reagan you wouldn't sound so stoopid!!!!! have another muffin and read a book next time you're on the toilet spreading your wisdom.LOVE YA.

  46. 46

    when you say:
    "It's more serious than previously reported!"
    You actually mean sorry i was a big ass for suggesting that this guy's sickness was not real and that he was recovering from drugs???? That was over the top Perverz… i really hope he gets better and his lawyers take care of your stupid accusations… how dare you ruined this guys career in that way?? how dare you!

  47. 47

    Re: ozdeb
    what creeps me out the most is that he starts his post pointing out that he reported first about his medical condition… what is it a race on who will report first sad news??? P is getting worse and worse… pathetic!

    Get Well!
