Yesterday, I inadvertently posted the wrong video in my post on two-faced Steve Harvey, who stabbed Bernie Mac in the back and then went on national TV crying crocodile tears for him.
Don’t believe it. Those of us who have crossed paths with Steve Harvey know what he really is. Comedians are supposed to be nice and engaging people, but Steve is not. He is an amazingly arrogant man who thinks all females want his corny ass.
Shout out to loyal reader NY Hicks, who sent THIS LINK to the story behind the B-Mac/Steve rift as told by B-Mac himself.
And, Angel, tell ’em why you’re mad!

Subject: THE TRUTH
Sandra,
You never really amaze me, but you are so telling the truth about Steve Harvey. Back in my younger day (when the movie “Get On The Bus” was being shot), I was dating one portion of The Kings of Comedy. This specific one is VERY LOYAL to Steve Harvey and probably would sacrifice his first born if Steve asked him too.
Anyway, when the situation went down between Steve and Bernie, this comedian was torn (being friends of both) and called me to confide. I was very blunt about my feelings towards the entire thing and said, Steve was acting like a jealous bitch! Well to make a long story short, my comedian friend repeated to Steve what I said one night when all of us were backstage at a show in Miami (months and months after the episode with the backstabbing Steve had committed against Bernie).
Steve was more than a bitch that night. He attempted to read me and tell me I was not worthy to be associated with our mutual comedian friend. The entire night his bitch ass was wiping off his big face watch (with a white cloth) and asking women not to rub up against his suit because it was light colored. And [he was] double checking that FAKE ASS DRAWN ON/PAINTED hair line he used to have!! Girl, I could go on and on….. but to wrap it up, STEVE HARVEY is a BIGGEDY BITCH!!!!
I guess it’s Bash Black Men day All Day every Day on The Rose ….
This foolishness will NOT bring Bernie Back .. and if Steve is a Jerk and all that Other’s say about him .. God has some serious Plans for his life and So be it.
Carry on with the Black Man Bashing . . . . .
How does one admits to “inadverently” posting the wrong video and doesn’t provide a correct video, but continues to take smack with no evidence? Why am I beginning to feel a People Mag situation up in here?
woopps that’s “talk” smack.
Comedians are supposed to be nice and engaging people, but Steve is not
^^Not true. Thats like expecting someone to be like the character they portray on tv. Its not realistic. In fact many comedians have a very dark side to them. Many of them have lived tortured lives which they repress, cover up, or use as fuel for their jokes.
So where is the real video you were referring to, Sandra?
Secondly, Do you think it is tactful to bring up these things after a man, a husband, a father, a friend, just died? The best of friends go through their tough times. It’s a part of life. Steve Harvey and Bernie Mac were friends long before whatever it is that you are talking about occurred. They were also friends long after. I don’t think it is anyones right to denounce his tears and grief as “fake”. Shame on you, Sandra.
comedians are human beings too!!! i hate when people bring up old stuff once somebody has passed away….and angel d. is wrong for bringing this out now…to my knowledge all of the “kings of comedy” have been married for a long time…so would this make angel a jump off??? i’m just asking?
Roseanne claims to have multiple personalities,,,Rosie has abandonment issues,,,,Chris Farley, John Belushi, Martin Lawrence, Richard Pryor,,,,all battled drugs. The list goes on… To assume comedians all walk around performing standup 24/7 is crazy. Will ferrell and Eddie Murphy both walk around movie sets without saying a word to anyone. Maybe they’re focused on what they are doing, maybe they are a*s holes,,,,Whatever,,,we’re all entitled.
Keep doing your job Sandra…
And the point of this is what?…………..
And the point of this is what?…………..
So because he tried to get a job, it means he doesnt care that the man is dead?
Ok, Bernie Mac passed away (Rest your soul), and we are bashing Steve Harvey because………………………………just asking
THERE WILL BE A TRIBUTE TO BERNIE MAC TONIGHT ON CNN AT 9 PM EASTERN FEATURING DL HUGHLEY, CEDRICK AND NONE OTHER THAN STEVE HARVEY.
OK…that obviously photo shopped picture of Steve Harvey is HILARIOUS!!!!!
Thanks for the info comment 13.
Thanks, Stefany…I have to watch that.
So Steve Harvey isn’t the nicest guy in the world. My question is which King of Comedy was this young lady dating? Weren’t they all married? And what is the big deal about him asking women with a face full of make-up not to touch his suit. We all know it is so easy to accidently get make-up on clothing.
Sandra I read the article yesterday and I understand what you are trying to convey. Thanks for posting the link to the entire article. No, this won’t bring Bernie back, but it does shed light on so-called friends. Steve is shady…… and no that burnt california raisin picture of Steve is not photo-shopped (that’s his new 50 and fly look). If he went behind his back trying to take his role when he was alive, don’t go on CNN acting like you were the best of friends! Steve does not have crossover appeal and he’s an arrogant jackass!
Well if he is being fake or not that is something he has to deall with. But I have fallen out with a friend a time or two but if something happens to them it would hurt me even though I am no longer friends with them anymore. It doesn’t mean that we didn’t have good times to remeber.
Less orange, more brown…..thanks!
^^^^lmao
Hot mess, girl.
I agree with bklynchick. Just because you have a falling out with someone doesn’t mean you won’t grieve for them if they died especially if you did care for them. Who knows, maybe they made up after all that went down. Instead of posting critism why don’t you post pictures of Bernie Mac at different events or something more positive.
Whatever Steve said to you let it go. Success is the best revenge and I’m sure Steve’s pride was hurt big time when they still went ahead with Bernie Mac. I love all 3 Ocean movies and Bernie was the best in all 3. The producer knew from jump that Steve would have NEVER fit in with the Oceans Crew.
I agree. Let it rest. Upload some popular clips of Mr. Mac in his honor. You really need to learn a lesson on moving on and letting things go. You will be a much happier person by doing so.
Doesn’t prove or mean anything. Bernie Mac didn’t seem phased by it, i agree with everyone else and say drop it. Who cares. everything that’s supposed to happen in our lives WILL happen. If it were meant for steve harvey to be involved in that project, he would’ve been. If there’s an OCeans 14, he wont get the part still because it’s not a good makeup…he’s tv actor….they can add martin lawrence before steve harvey.
Ike Dirty said it best in his post on his blog about his dad.
“Let go of silly things that have you at oods with the ones you love. Life is short. Live! “
having just experienced a breakup of a very significant friendship. This post and it’s comments speak to me. Unfortuantly it is not until death or some other unforseen tragedy happens that we come to our heart’s senses. As Kymstry quoted ““Let go of silly things that have you at oods with the ones you love. Life is short. Live!“ I will do my human best to think on that phrase as I reflect on the friendship that I just lost. I pray that Steve’s feelings/tears are genuine. Only he had God knows. If they are genuine, I hope he doesn’t try to defend them against negative people. It serves no purpose.
Hi Sandra,
I normally DO NOT POST directly to your sight, however; some of your fans always seem to get stories twisted. NOT MINE!!!!
The situation that I wrote about STEVE HARVEY was not meant to be negative in any way about BERNIE. I just wanted to share the FACT that I know Steve and Bernie’s freindship was destroyed because of STEVE’s jealousy. Steve is acting as if their friendship was not tainted. Steve was really hating on Bernie’s success and now he is creating this”I LOST MY FRIEND” persona for himself, which is FAKE!! My point is if you were hating when some one was living just keep it real instead up trying to promote yourself as some one who “REALLY CARED”.
To “brwnsugga4you” JUMPOFF???? child please, I was dating the gentleman I mentioned before he was married – before he was really famous! Some people are descent, YOU KNOW?
To:”Bird” No this comedian was not married when he was shooting the movie “Get on The Bus”
See yah,
Angel

Care to tell. It wouldn’t be that dumb friend who has to hide out in her own house is it?
Do tell. You know we love drama over here at Sandra Rose.com.
Plus it seems like a slow day on here and in here (work) anyway.
*getting a hot cup of green tea ready for ggouch*
Angel D said Steve Harvey was:
asking women not to rub up against his suit because it was light colored
__________________________________________________
Am I the only one that feels that Steve will not be able to ever wear a “light colored suit” again with all that Tropicana orange juice madness oozing out of his pores. Looks like he went to the liquid foundation pool party hosted by Mary Kay and Avon.
Football season is back!
Not that it really matters, but she has to be talking about Cedric because he’s the only one that wasn’t married at that time.
Yay ! @ dblaq !!! Go Big Blue !!!
Seriously Prynesexx, I would love to, because I am still in shock over this lose. I mourn this friendship and have found myself constantly seeking the outside opinion of others, attempting to understand my role in the destruction. I still don’t get it. I will try to make it short.
This person and I (I thought) were very close. In fact I have never felt this type of emotional connection with a female before. We were very close, so close in fact our boyfriends (now her husband) use to tease us and say we were the gayest-un gay couple they have ever seen. We called each other sister. We were two in a click of 6 females. When I relocated up north a few years back. I didn’t bond with any females because in my mind they just did not compare to the bond here in ATLANTA with these 6.
To make a long story short. When I returned to ATL a few months ago. My friend invited (pretty much insisted) that I stay with her. I was leery. you know the old school saying of never stay with a married couple. I felt uneasy about it, but thought I was being silly. After all this IS my best friend AKA sister.
Anyway, it started with little things. Like opposing the fact that I took a part-time job when I got here instead of remaining on unemployment. She asked me to watch her kid for her instead. I felt some kind of way about that, considering I am in NO way that friend you ASK to watch your kid for 8 hours a day in lieu of paying RENT. It was then a list of stupid things that makes a person question “what does this person really think of me”…you ever get that? Any way because this person was under a lot of stress (new mother, new wife, angry wife, didn’t like her job) I pretty much played a premeditated passiveness with her, which is more than BEYOND my nature. But chose to choose my battles because I KNEW she was stressed
The final blow up happened the 4th of July weekend. She and I were doing our back and forth daily emails. Nothing special. Well it happens to be my last week in her home. I was moving into my own place that Sunday after the 4th. Well in one of the emails I asked her if a friend of mine (really an ex boyfriend I reconnected with upon my return to the ATL) could come over to the house on Sunday. In which she replied “NO”….
Well rewind to when I first got back. I reconnected with this guy, after a few days some of his actions and covert activities lead me to believe that he was on his “HUSTLE” if you get my drift. And though he was going out of his way to cover things up for my sake, something’s just looked too obvious… I confided in her WHAT I ASSUMED he was doing. And for this is why she said NO about him coming to her home. In my response to her NO, I told her I told her I understood, stating that I have to be careful what I tell her about (exboyfriend). Meaning, as a result of me running my mouth about my assumptions, she held on to an image of him. I was responding by sharing a self reflective moment. Believe it or not that response from there took on a whole other life. I attempted to defuse the problem by calling her. EMAILS take on TONES that are not sometimes meant. She responded by saying I was being sensitive and that it is no big deal. ..On Friday July 4th, from her vacationing hotel room she calls me out of the blue to continue talking about it…and this time she is REAL aggressive. I tell her I am not going to deal with this and she should enjoy her vacation. AGAIN choosing my battle because this is MY FRIEND. When I say to her I am not going to “DEAL with this” she gets upset and tell me by not choosing to talk to her on My cell phone in her house I am being disrespectful and to GE OUT!! Though shocked, I simply say OK hang up the phone and on July 4th, commence to leaving her home 2 days sooner than expected. She texted a few apologies that I ignored. Well ignoring her set her off all together….she is not used to not having the last word and I had simply refused to go out like that for the integrity of the friendship. Thinking..Ok we’ll get through this. She continued to harass me via text, emails and voicemails…It then hit me and was confirmed my a mutual friend that the reason behind the beef was because I was upset that she would not allow my EX-boyfriend in her home. However if anyone had read the email trail they would have seen that was not the case. To make a long story short for real this time. I end up leaving her house on Monday opposed to the Friday. I left her home in immaculate condition. She returns from vacation and texts me “I told you to leave FRIDAY why didn’t you”….Well I was outraged that 1). Who are you to be so antagonistic and 2)? Who do you think you are playing with? I texted back (no profanity…again respecting the history of friendship) kick rocks and don’t call me. In which she responds with an all CAP “FU*CK YOU. Telling me she understood John and that at least he got breakfast (john was a very abusive ex and in part the reason I returned to AT)….
Anyway…so much continued to happen where she simply was disrespectful to the utmost. I couldn’t believe it. I was more than shocked and grief stricken. I didn’t even know this person. Well in the mist of this, it came out that she had a very different opinion of me and didn’t hold me in the same regard that I held her. She thought she was better than me and voiced it to other friends.
@ ggouch … I read that and literally have tears in my eyes .. the demise of a female friendship is akin to losing a family member… and I am hurting with you
I too lost my best friend over a mis-understanding .. well she started dating my ex whom I considered one of my true “loves” .. they are now married and it took me years to get over the betrayal .. but I have ..and wish them only the best … all the while I STILL miss her she was my sister by another mother…
They are doing Bernie Mack comedy clips at the top of each hour on XM 150, and Issac Hayes tribute on Soul Street!
Yep Kem…Female friendships that are HARD to come by. and when that bond is disrupted by something insignificant it is so hurtful. but when someone’s true opinions come out about you…it’s like the biggest violation. I told her this was like finding out after years of dating your man don’t love you the same way you love him. For the emotional turmoil I have gone through as a result fo this…hell SHE and I should have been FU*CKING.
@ ggouch .. I SOOOO feel u on the bond … she called me when her mother was dying .. I flew from Va to Tn .. and would have flown around the world when she needed me .. she and I would talk literally 7-8 times aday and it never got old … I haven’t bonded with another female since our sister-ship ended 4 yrs ago .. she did reach out to me last week and we talked for over an hour .. it’s just not the same she’s married now .. i’m still single and our commonality(sp) has ended…
I know Kymstry. I want to reach out, but she showed me such a different side I fear that my reaching out will be taken as weakness. My pride wont allow me to get past the things she said, especially the comment about relating to my abusive ex. That hurt. not to mention, leaving everyone else to believe our BEEF was a result of my “grown azz EX, not being able to come to your Grown azz house” what does that say about me, if I allowed a 9 year friendship to come under attack over something like that. AND though I have emails and voicemails proving that this was not the case, she choose to leave that impression with others.
on my way home … have a good one yall …
To “brwnsugga4you” JUMPOFF???? child please, I was dating the gentleman I mentioned before he was married – before he was really famous! Some people are descent, YOU KNOW?
~~~thanks for clarifying~~~~
kym, ggouch..i too am in a similar situation. i think woman loose themselves when they get into a serious relationship. being married or having a significant other doesn’t mean you need to loose your own identity. i could write a book about my experience….but, kym i’ll hit u on the email…hun.
Wow ggouch I am going thru a simliar thing with a friend of
30+ years she singled white femaled me over my dude of 9 yers. She used the things i told her her to try and get him she wanted my life. it is so much I really can not get into because it is so much Evne after the shit that happen I tried to reach out to her and forgive her but she was on some BULL so she is dead to me If you want to ever chat or here my story let me know on here and we CAN EXCHANGE EMAIL ADDRESSES.
Rest in peace Bernie Mac, the rest of this is pointless. For hatever Steve Harvey is; his fate is between him and God. The biggest Ass*&^% in the world can have feelings and mourn. Unless someone has crawled inside Steve’s body and mine, and can say for sure how he is feeling then your comments are pointless and useless. If Steve is an arrogant SOB today, then he was once yesterday and the day before and knowing that will not make anyone feel better about the loss of this iconic Black man. Why does this have to happen now?
I COULD CARELESS ABOUT STEVE HARVEY’S FEELINGS OF GRIEF; YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE, WHEN IT ACTUALLY COUNTS, THAN HOW YOU GRIEVE FOR THEM AFTER DEATH.
STEVE HARVEY CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL WITHOUT COLLECTING ANOTHER DIME AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED. HE IS A LITERAL PIECE OF SHYT FOR THE WAY HE’S TREATING HIS EX-WIFE.
BERNIE WAS MORE OF A MAN THAN STEVE COULD EVER IMAGINE BEING; ARROGANT BAST/ARD! WITH HIS UGLY DEVILISH LOOKIN AS/S. PIECE OF SHYT, I HOPE SOMEONE BEATS THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUTTA HIS OLD AS/S.
WOW, AT HOW MANY WOMEN ON HERE LOST MAJOR SISTERLY TYPE FRIENDSHIPS OVER BULLSHYT…I TOO HAVE A SIMILAR STORY. MINE IS MORE LIKE KYMSTRY’S, ME AND MY FRIEND TALKED ON THE PHONE EVERY DAY FOR 8 YEARS, 7-8 TIMES A DAY, SOMETIMES JUST HOLDING THE PHONE WATCHING T.V. WE HAD A BOND, A VERY CLOSE BOND…IT WAS ALSO WEIRD TO SOME BECAUSE WOMEN WOULD SAY TO US, HOW DO YOU GUYS GET ALONG SO WELL, YOU’RE BOTH SO ATTRACTIVE, AND USUALLY TWO ATTRACTIVE WOMEN DON’T GET ALONG, AT LEAST NOT THAT TIGHT. BUT I COULDN’T EXPLAIN, WE BOTH SEEMED VERY SECURE, OR AT LEAST I KNEW I WAS…WE HAD SIMILAR MORALS AND VALUES, WE BOTH LIKED THE SAME TYPE OF MEN, WE BOTH WERE THE STRONGEST PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILIES, WE BOTH WERE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WITH OUR LIVES.
BUT ONCE AGAIN, SHE SHOWED HER TRUE SELF, A SIDE I DIDN’T KNOW WAS EVER THERE, AND IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME SHE WAS LIKE THAT I WOULD HAVE CALLED THEM A BOLD FACED LIAR.
WE NO LONGER TALK, AND WHEN WE FIRST STOPPED TALKING, IT WAS SO WEIRD, I HAD NO ONE TO TELL MY MOST PERSONAL THINGS TO, NO ONE WHO TRULY KNEW WHAT I WAS FEELING, NO ONE WHO KNEW HOW I FELT BEFORE I VERBALIZED IT…IT WAS LIKE GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE OF SOME SORT. I GOT VERY DEPRESSED FOR A BIT…DISBELIEF OF WHAT WAS GOING ON, BETRAYAL, HURT FEELINGS, OH I WENT THROUGH IT. I FINALLY GOT THROUGH IT, AND THOUGH I’M A SMARTER WISER PERSON, I SOMETIMES HATE HER FOR TAKING AWAY THE WAY I ONCE VIEWED THE WORLD….ONCE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU, AND YOU’RE BETRAYED BY SOMEONE YOU TRULY LOVE AS A FRIEND, A SISTER, YOU NEVER LOOK AT THE WORLD THE SAME AGAIN…I’M TRULY A DIFFERENT PERSON NOW.
mimi … you are SO right … you DO become a different person … I don’t have any females I call my best friend .. and I shop alone go out to eat alone .. concerts the whole nine … I just paray that God will bless me with a THEE friend He has for me ..until then .. I’ll keep living
Before the “kona’ hater start firing off some ignant mess … I’m NOT a lonley old woman takin imaginary things in the corner to play with … I just choose whom i associate with VERY wisely … Age and Experinve will allow you to do that
Steve could have made a mistake and regrets it to this day. So to me he still could view Bernie as a friend and he could truly be sadden by his death.
My thing is, if Bernie Mac was OK with it why are people on this site trippin. Remember Bernie always talked on how he was in control of his life and he wouldn’t allow what others said or did allow him to act a fool. He stated that state of mind came with maturity. He was around 28 when he said he matured. So if Bernie was forgiving and looking past it so will I.
Moving on……
