Je’Niece did not share a loving relationship with her father as a child. However, she did not share the details of their bond up until his thirteenth death anniversary. 

We shall discuss it later in the article, but first, let’s look at Bernie Mac’s professional life. 

Who is Bernie Mac?

Bernie Mac (full name Bernard Jeffrey McCullough) was a renowned comedian and actor. He was born and brought up in Chicago. Moreover, his mother, Mary McCullough, raised him all on her own. However, she succumbed to cancer when Mac was sixteen. 

Upon the death of his mother, Bernie moved to Tampa, Florida, and attended Jesuit High School. However, he dropped out to move back to his hometown and graduated from Chicago Vocational High School.

Bernie got married to Rhonda Gore in 1977. The couple welcomed their first and only child, Je’Niece, a year later. 

Bernie Mac was considered one of the finest stand-up comedians. His career kept skyrocketing after he portrayed the role of Mr. 3000. Additionally, he appeared in the movie The Original Kings of Comedy alongside Steve Harvey and other prominent comedians, making him even more popular. 

Bernie Mac has earned two Emmy nominations and two Golden Globe Awards throughout his career. Moreover, he also appeared in movies such as Mo’ Money, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, and Head of State.

Bernie Mac: Health Complications and Death

Je’Niece McCullough’s father, Bernie Mac, contracted pneumonia in the summer of 2004. By that time, he was filming for Ocean’s Twelve and Guess Who. His health deteriorated, and Bernie revealed that he was suffering from sarcoidosis, which attacked his lungs. 

In August 2008, Bernie Mac breathed his last due to complications from pneumonia. He was just fifty at the time of his death. His funeral took place a week after his death; around 7000 people attended it. 

Je’Niece’s Tumultuous Relationship with Father Bernie Mac

Je’Niece is quite a private person. She writes about mental well-being and often shares her thoughts on how a person’s childhood trauma can catch up on them as an adult. However, it was only in 2021 that she opened up about her parental trauma. 

She appeared on Can We Talk?, a relationship podcast, and gave the listeners an insight into her relationship with Bernie Mac. McCullough described it as walking on eggshells because she never knew what could set him off and add to his rage.

Moreover, she shared that Bernie was relatively insensitive when it came to her emotions and used to call her incapable and weak. 

Despite all of this, Bernie realized his mistake and made it up to his daughter shortly before his death. It gave Je’Niece a much-deserved closure. 

However, the podcast received a lot of backlash from listeners who said that she should not make public comments about her dead father. On the other hand, the writer gave the trollers a befitting reply via her article on Medium. 

Her Husband and Relationship Status

Je’Niece McCullough had a disturbing childhood, and the trauma followed her even after getting married. Moreover, McCullough’s husband mirrored some of the same behavior just like her father, which resulted in a divorce.

Does she have Kids?

Yes, Je’Niece has a daughter from her previous marriage named Jasmine. The writer shares a fantastic bond with her girl and often shares her pictures on Instagram. Moreover, she is working extremely hard on her childhood traumas to ensure that her daughter grows up in a safe environment.

Her Career Highlights

After completing her master’s degree from the Xavier University of Louisiana, she joined The South Suburban Council. Je’Niece worked there for almost seven months. She provided guidance to several individuals with alcohol and substance abuse.

Later, she joined MacMan Enterprises Inc., where she was responsible for providing operational and administrative support. Moreover, she was also the VP of the Bernie Mac Foundation for Sarcoidosis.

Her Net Worth

Je’niece McCullough has been described as one of the most influential and knowledgeable speakers who has changed the lives of several individuals. She attends conferences, contributes to podcasts, and shares stories from her own life, which makes her relatable. 

McCullough has gained a lot of attention in recent years, especially after she spilled the tea on her relationship with her father. However, her net worth is undisclosed. Taking everything into account, we can guess that Je’niece is doing pretty well for herself. 

Her Social Media Presence
