Anyone else sad Rhonda's dead?


She was such a great wife for Andre. She took real good care of him

reply

I am. I liked her. I really hate that she was so kind to Anika and then she is ultimately betrayed by her twice. I also hate how the other family members don't even talk about Rhonda. It's almost as if she never existed.

reply

Yeah. They hated her because she was white.

reply

You're a dumbass. Nobody hated Rhonda because she is white.

That's the thing with black folks...we accept everybody, especially if they're real. And, Rhonda was real. She was one of us.

If you can't understand that...well, it's because you're a hater...through and through. And I don't give a sh*t what color you are.

Now STFU!

From Lucious' comments in season 1 about Andre's marriage, I did come away with the impression that, if he didn't HATE Rhonda, he certainly didn't hold their union in the highest esteem.

reply

Luscious is a militant. He hates anybody that isn't kissing his ass.

That's the character.

He hates Andre for having a mental illness. He hates Jamal for being gay. He hates Hakeem for rebelling against him. He hates Cookie for being his competition and not jumping his jock.

I'm speaking directly about the audience.

And, during Rhonda's pregnancy...Luscious fell in love with her and the thought of Andre and Rhonda together. He did give them a house.

Don't forget, Anika wanted that love and attention. Hence, the reason why she pushed Rhonda down the stairs.

I have a feeling that Lucious is really going to LOVE Andre and Nessa together especially since Andre had her ink that deal. Lucious will relish the idea. Remember in S1 how Lucious loved Hakeem and Tiana together? This might just be the same.

Andre has his plans well laid out and he has found a muse in Nessa.

I am rooting for Andre and Nessa to take on Empire at the end. That's just my wish but we all know Lucious is always one step ahead of everyone else. He's lived the streets and knows the game.

Bring it on Empire. I am excited!!!!


reply

I am, I liked Rhonda and she was responsible for generally keeping Andre grounded. I'm mad they didn't give her a funeral.

reply

lol right? even camilla got a funeral!

reply

Yeah I like rhonda too,& im still so shocked and surprised they killed her off so early,she loved andre so much in spite of everything he has done to her.

reply

Im sad she was killed off. I liked her and she took care of Andre. I didn't think either would die, I thought they both would fall onto an awning or something and just get injured. I wonder how Rhonda felt being the only white character and then killed off. They didn't even give her a funeral, memorial, nothing. Like damn, she was an important character since the beginning, and the actress doesn't even get a funeral?

reply

Yeah, I hate that they killed Rhonda off as well but I am wondering if it's possible they plan on bring her back. Why would they continue to let her reappear as a ghost. I smell something fishy here!

reply

I feel because there was no funeral and we never saw a coroner haul her away, maybe that left the door open for the actress coming back. Maybe this is all a dream for Dre

reply

She is back. As a ghost that only Dre can see.

reply

The only thing fishy is not being able to let go of the fact that they killed Rhonda.

The character however didn't go anywhere...it was just transformed.

reply

Ya'll tripping over this "only white character to die and how that made her feel".

Seriously? Characters get killed off all the damn time, black and/or white, Latina, Latino, Asian, etc.

Furthermore, last time I checked...the white girl is still on the show.

There's no smoke because there is no fire. Move on people. Damn.

reply

I do miss the very much alive version of Rhonda.

She and Andre were good together. She was ride or die and had his back.

Anika robbed her of producing the first Lyons grandchild and I do hope the truth comes out later.

reply

I thought Rhonda and Andre had a really twisted relationship. I'm surprised so many of you think she was a great wife for him.

All insults will be interpreted as an admission that you cannot contribute to the discussion.

This. She was the one who was constantly encouraging him to "take down" his brothers. For that alone, Lucious was right not to trust her.

If you're from Africa...why are you white? 

reply

This is a valid point, but she was only encouraging him to take down his brothers because Lucious pitted them all against each other in the first place. She was just reacting to the insane situation that was 100% created by Lucious.
