Sheryl Underwood Says She May Have Worsened Husband's Mental State Before Suicide

What was said

"I did not kill my husband, but I may have exacerbated his stress. And so now that comes through in my comedy and saying, what type of companion I want to be to a man because I've watched the man I love."

Underwood opened up about her late husband's suicide by jumping off a building, acknowledging in therapy that while she didn't cause his death, she may have contributed to his stress levels. She now uses this painful self-awareness in her comedy to explore how to be a better partner, demonstrating the vulnerability behind her humor about the tragedy.
