‘Bad Boys 4’: Tasha Smith To Replace Theresa Randle

Tasha Smith is joining the cast of Bad Boys 4.

The talented actress will join the franchise to play the role of Marcus Barnett’s loving and devoted wife, Theresa Barnett. 

News of Tasha’s casting is surprising considering Theresa Randle inhabited the role in the first three Bad Boys films. 

The good news you can rest assured that Tasha Smith will understand and execute the assignment. 

In addition to her notable work as an actress in TV (“Empire”) and film (Why Did I Get Married?), Tasha is a renowned acting coach and she’s been sitting in the director’s chair of various projects including “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Bel-Air,” and “BMF.”

Hours after the news of the recasting went public, a video of Theresa Randle surfaced online. 

It appears to show the 58-year-old actress using a walker and she doesn’t quite seem like herself. 

The concerning video feels exploitative, so I won’t be posting it here. 

Fans of the Bad Boys franchise took to social media to react to the news of the recasting of the fourth installment.

Read a few Twitter reactions below. 

Wow. So what happened to Theresa Randle? Did she just pull a Bridget Fonda and retire from Hollywood? https://t.co/dHsdOWYFga

I knew there was a legit reason Tasha Smith is replacing Theresa Randle for Bad Boys 4.

Folks gotta stop recording people when they’re in certain conditions cause she looked uncomfortable af with that camera in her face.

That recording of Theresa Randle is crazy. But please stop recording these celebrities when they are down. Y’all be so quick to turn on the camera instead of help

Well I’m super late… I didn’t know Theresa Randle & Father MC were married. 👀 I wonder why she’s not coming back to the Bad Boys franchise.

Meanwhile… I can hear Tasha Smith yelling “Marcus!!!” just like she did in “Why Did I Get Married?”
