The forthcoming “Bad Boys 4 film has added a new cast member to take on a role that has been a part of the franchise since the first film was released in 1995. The first three films follow Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as detectives Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett, who investigate the biggest crimes and drug busts in Miami.
Theresa Randle played Theresa Burnett, the loving and supportive wife of Lawrence’s character. It is currently unknown if she was scheduled to reprise her role in “Bad Boys 4.”
A day after news broke that “Why Did I Get Married?” actress Tasha Smith has now been cast in that role for the latest installment, a video reportedly showing Randle began circulating online, leaving fans concerned for her well-being.
On May 4, Hollywood Unlocked shared a video from Instagram user @bigdoglerdy that appears to show Randle wearing an oversized Disneyland resort sweatshirt as she sat on a walker.

The actress can be seen wearing blue latex gloves as she spoke to a young boy off camera. It’s unclear what their discussion was about. But the 16-second clip was enough to spark concern among fans who wished Randle a speedy recovery.
“This is incredibly sad. Praying for her full recovery.”
“And they just replace her like it’s nothing…”
The individual who recorded the video wrote, “On big bl this Martin Lawrence wife off bad boys man she down bad on that s—t.” Several commenters took issue with his post.
In response, one person said, “Why everybody that loose weight the first thing y’all say is drugs illness is not a thought anymore??”
A second said, “Why record her tho??? Smh Prayers to her.”
A third chimed in, stating, “And y’all better not joke about this lady! We all dealing with life! Send your prayers or keep it.”
Before “Bad Boys,” Randle appeared in series and films such as “A Different World,” “Seinfeld,” “The Five Heartbeats,” “Malcolm X,” “CB4,” “Sugar Hill,” Spike Lee‘s “Girl 6,” and more.
She landed other roles after “Bad Boys,” appearing in “Space Jam” as Michael Jordan’s wife, and as singer Natalie Cole in the docudrama “Living’ for Love: The Natalie Cole Story.”
Randle is married to Timothy Brown, who goes by his rap alias Father MC. They have no social media accounts and have kept details about their relationship and marriage private for years.
We don’t know what is going on in her life. Someone said the same about Chad from black panther. Stop assuming
HEY GUY REALLY!!! WAS IT WORTH 🤔 WHAT EVER MONEY YOU RECEIVED FOR WHAT YOU HAVE CAUSED AND COST THIS AMAZING ACTOR NOW IN HER LIFE, FAMILY, FUTURE WORK????? SHAME ON YOU. IASIA ❤️ TO MY DEAR LADY ❤️ ♥️ 💕.
Recover soon you’re in my prayers continue to heal
Prayers gone up thur God all is possible your healing is on the way no matter what you going through God got you be blessed
Why not Fancy Gabrielle from the Jamie Foxx sitcom
HIT THE GYM TREAD MILL, WEIGHTS GOOD GOR HEART RATE, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, EAT SOUL FOOD WITH A SIDE SALAD, MAKE UP, STYLIST, AND GET YOUR ROLE, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH MONEY AND DON’T MENTIONED KIDS 😂 THIS MOVIE WILL NOT BE THE SAME TASHA REALLY GOOD DON’T GET ME WRONG BUT EVERY ROLE PLAYED YOU ADD A LITTLE REAL YOU
Sending prayers to her . Maybe because of her health she knows it’s best for the movie. To go with someone else
People should be mindful about assuming other’s health
We know NOTHING she could be out there helping her community. Sitting on a walker doesn’t mean it’s hers. However, if she’s not going to be on next Bad boys I won’t be watching. Nothing against Tasha but she is a type cast actress. Same old same old. Loud and always hollering Marcus. Theresa acting is classy and of course professional. Tasha acting is barely above sub par in my opinion.
She could have an illness that has caused weight
Lost …So Noone knows however don’t hate on Tasha because she got the part…These ppl will replace your ass in a heartbeat‼️
She could be I’ll, or preparing for another role, remember how cruel people were to Chadwick 😡
Stop assuming that she is on drugs.
As far as Tasha Smith replacing Theresa
Ummm! No Hate, but she is always loud..
I pray that Theresa heals and is okay.
Theresa Randal is, in my opinion about as great as it gets. She sultry, compassion, and so much more. She’s superb in changing characters for so many many roles. If she’s not feeling well?.. perhaps, she may have reached her plateau of being an actress. Who knows?…
Praying for her whatever the reason get well soon
I sent a prayer up for u Theresa Randle. Nobody can play that role like u. u a class act. God can do the impossible. If it is drugs, get help. you are such a beautiful lady. drugs dont discriminate. it almost killed me, but God
People steady assuming shit about people they don’t even know. I remember about a year or so from Chadwick Boseman passed away, he was looking thin on the red carpet and you ignorant assess with no real like came on social media talking about “he’s strung out!” And “he’s on dope!” Wonder if y’all felt like douche canoes when you found out that he was thin because he was sick. And, he was sick and still gave us his all in Black Panther. When will y’all stop assuming?
Great people may fall, but they come back greater than they were. My prayers are with you Theresa Randle that God lifts you up from whatever you’re going through. In Jesus Christ Name Amen. Wishing you a fast recovery. Word!!!!
People sometimes are in so much pain that they can see nothing but pain. Their eating habits change, their physical appearance and habits change. My prayer is that she gives whatever it is to Jesus, he’s a physician like no other. I will continue to pray for her and others like her who may have some underlining issues.
But how do you get from drugs to wheel chair in a matter of an heartbeat?! Besides God who knows how long she’s been doing drugs besides personal people in her life and if she is or ever did any type of drugs. Plus if anything about her having any complications from drugs, that would had caused her to be in a wheelchair.
Guys think about it! We would have known prior, because, the sources out here from media would of spread like wild fire of Theresa being in any type of medical facility.
Like every other public eye figure who’ve been in hospitals or rehabs; God bless their heart. But if anything like the other comment said, “Just because she’s sitting in a wheelchair does not mean it’s her.”

May God continue to heal your Theresa in what you going through praying for you beautiful 🙏🏾God bless you beautiful ❤️I will miss seeing your beautiful face and smile in the next Bad Boys🥰
She can come live with me. Do she have a gofundme?
The assumptions and hype are off the chart-she looks healthy smiling.and coherent
Maybe she’s building a character. Maybe she looks out of character-her glamorous self. Give her a break-and don’t shoot the messenger because that person allowed us to know she COULD be in trouble.Possibly in this economy she lost her home, like many. Life is real,when you’re not working – the cash can get low. In my opinion she’s gorgeous at 58 and can get some work in or out of that wheelchair. Prayerfully, her friends family and colleagues will find her and clear this up. If it’s help she needs – they’ll give it to her.
God will take care of whatever the situation u in, stay strong and have faith (Hebrew 11-1)
Theresa Randle is not married to anybody and has never been married to Father MC. She is single. IMBD has it wrong and always has.
