Talking Mac
Filed under: R.I.P. > Sad Sad
With the shocking loss of comedian Bernie Mac, it's no surprise that his death has been exceptionally hard on his wife of 30 years, Rhonda.
And in a recent interview, she explains what she's going through after the death of her husband last week weekend.
The couple last spoke just the day before his death.
She says, "He didn't look good to me and I knew this could be it."
Rhonda was with him at the hospital and recalls, "I said, 'Hey Bernard. How are you?' and I kissed his forehead. He shrugged his shoulders, like 'I'm tired' and I said, 'I know you're tired.' Later on that night, it took a turn for the worse."
Luckily Rhonda says she is comforted by the support of her family and friends, and by the memories she keeps of her relationship with Bernie.
She even recalls one time after meeting Bernie, saying, "He said, 'You never seen a black man as pretty as me.' And I said, 'No, I sure haven't.' And he said, 'Girl, you know I'm so beautiful.'"
And just a few months later, on Valentine's Day, Bernie asked her to stop by his shop class for a surprise, and they shared their first kiss.
Wow, it took some time for that first kiss. Things moved slowly back then we guess.
The couple then married in 1977 when they were both 19 years old. A year later they welcomed their first baby daughter.
As for Rhonda today, reality has sunk in and she says her depression "comes in waves."
Adding, "I get through because I know he's in a better place now."

APOLOGIZE FOR IMPLYING HE WAS USING DRUGS!! YOU JUST LOOK LIKE AN ASS POSTING ALL THESE STORIES ABOUT HIS LOVED ONES WHEN YOU WERE SO DISRESPECTFUL RIGHT BEFORE HIS DEATH!!
MAN UP AND JUST SAY SORRY.
to quote George Clooney "The world just got a little less funny"…I will misss his energy…He was great in transformers, et all
Wow… I couldn't imagine the pain this woman is going through. I'd be an absolute wreck if my fiance died.
My prayers are with her and her family. =(
Re: Brie84 – He never will..I guess Perez is too good to do apologies…
So sad
RIP Bernie =(
What sweet memories!
Wow Perez.
Yeah, okay, you think they took things "slowly"???
Why don't you attribute that to why their marriage lasted an entire 30 years.
And people wonder why marriages never last anymore! Because people think that waiting a few months to get serious is archaic!
Perez doesn't care about black people
Heartbreaking…
im mexican
this is soooo sad
But, he's prob. in a better place,
Wow people in heaven are just laughing they're ass off as we speak
i loved him :”'(
Bless you, Rhonda. I feel so bad for her - I can't imagine what she's going through.
That is so sad. My heart goes out to his family.
Poor lady. Just thinkin about her pain is makin me tear up. God bless them.
NOOO Perez, now I'm sad before bed!
Quick Give Me some more "LezLo and saMAN" humor!!!!
feeling guilty yet about implying he was on drugs before he died?
I was just watching clips on youtube. I love this guy. I am so sorry for his family's loss. I can't imagine how hard it must be not to have this very funny guy around. May God Bless him and his loved ones.
That's sad. I feel for her. I think I'd be the same way, if that were me and my boyfriend. Bernie Mac, you will be missed!
Hearts to Rhonda and the family, the ones who are left behind are who we should think of and respect if possible.
CHicago is preparing for the Air and water show right now and the city to me just doesn't feel the same. I drove down Lake Shore Drive to Northwestern hospital and shook my head in disbelief… RIP Bernie.
Perez next time GET YOUR FACTS before posting LIES about people… you are losing your credability!
I hate the fact that you initially blamed all this on drug use, and now you act as though you are an angel. You only brought more grief to this family. Leave them alone, you piece of shit.
Prayers go out for the her and the family
What a tragic loss. I cannot imagine what his family is feeling right now. "Make It Easy On Yourself" by knowing that you stood by him even in his final hour, and that you will be with him again "Someday."
RIP Mac man….:(
aww
Fuck him,nothing funny about him exept he's dead
It's really sick that you keep on posting this things and didn't have the decency to apologize to him and his family for saying that he was a drug addict! You should feel lucky that his family is not suing you… if you said something like that about any of my relatives be sure i will not only sue you but i would make sure your ass got kicked! You are a lame bastard Piggy and I am sure you will pay for all of this!
