On the same day news broke about Morgan Freeman being badly injured from a car wreck, MTV also reported the following about Bernie Mac:

While Bernie Mac remains in the hospital under treament for pneumonia, his rep slammed widespread media reports that the comedian is in very critical condition.

“Bernie Mac is still alive and being treated in a Chicago hospital for pneumonia and is expected to make a full recovery,” his rep, Danica Smith, told People.com. “We once again ask that the press respect his privacy and that of his family.”

The Chicago native, 50, entered the hospital last week and remained there over the weekend.
