# Dee Davis Reveals Fallout with Co-Star Kellita Smith from The Bernie Mac Show
Dee Davis, known for her role as “Baby Girl” Bryana Thomkins on the beloved sitcom *The Bernie Mac Show*, has recently stirred up headlines with candid revelations about her strained relationship with co-star Kellita Smith, who played her on-screen aunt, Wanda McCullough.
In a livestream that quickly went viral, Davis made it abundantly clear that there is no love lost between the two, stating bluntly, “No, me and her ain’t cool. I don’t f*** with her. That’s it.”
Her comments have shocked fans who cherished the family dynamic portrayed on the show, which aired from 2001 to 2006, and have sparked widespread discussion online about behind-the-scenes tensions.
During the livestream, Davis, now a mother of two, did not hold back on her feelings. She firmly dismissed any possibility of reconciliation, saying, “Will we ever talk again? Probably not.
Will we ever be cool? No. And that’s what it is.” While she refrained from detailing the specific reasons for their fallout, her tone left no room for ambiguity about the depth of the rift.
This revelation contrasts sharply with public appearances, such as a 2018 reunion special on the Aspire network, where both Davis and Smith joined the remaining cast to reminisce about working with the late Bernie Mac.
Photos and footage from that event showed them seemingly enjoying the moment together, making Davis’s recent statements even more surprising to fans.
The confession has drawn parallels to other instances of on-set discord, such as Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s admission of not being close with Eddie Griffin during the filming of *Malcolm & Eddie*.
Davis’s comments also extended beyond her issues with Smith. She expressed frustration with fans asking about how Bernie Mac’s passing in 2008 affected her, calling such questions “ignorant” and “rude.”
She retorted, “How does death affect you? I don’t sit here and be like, ‘How did you feel when your grandma died?’” In a follow-up response to the circulating clips, Davis acknowledged her sharp tone, writing, “Really working on my responses. An insensitive question gets an insensitive answer.”
Interestingly, Davis showed openness to reconnecting with other co-stars from the show. She mentioned a willingness to do a podcast with Jeremy Suarez, who played her on-screen brother Jordan, and Camille Winbush, who portrayed her sister Vanessa.
This selective openness hints at a more complex dynamic among the cast, with her issues seemingly isolated to Smith. As of now, Kellita Smith has not publicly responded to Davis’s remarks, leaving fans to speculate on her perspective and whether she will address the situation.
This revelation has sparked varied reactions online. Some fans question whether Davis should have kept the matter private, while others appreciate her honesty about a relationship that clearly impacted her.
The news sheds light on the often-hidden tensions behind the laughter of iconic sitcoms. What’s your take on Davis going public with this fallout? Should personal conflicts among co-stars remain behind closed doors, or is transparency valuable for fans seeking the full story? The conversation continues to unfold as more clips and reactions surface.
