When it comes to making headlines, Chris Rock is no stranger to it as he is one of the most renowned names in the comedy and entertainment industry. The comedian often finds himself in the headlines of the news because of his bold and provocative form of comedy, constantly challenging and provoking certain members of society. He even made it to the headlines while hosting the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, as he joked about Will Smith’s wife, making him lose his temper and slapping the host.
Nevertheless, Chris Rock has often been in the headlines for the most heinous of reasons. However, back in the 1990s, the Spiral actor’s name was in the headlines because he found himself in deep trouble as his brief romantic fling with a Hungarian model, escalated into a lawsuit where he was accused of r*ping the model.
Chris Rock Takes Strict Measures To Fight The Heinous Allegations
Chris Rock was married to Malaak Compton-Rock, they were a loving couple, but during their marriage, Rock was unfaithful to his wife as he had a brief romantic fling with Monika Zsibrita, a Hungarian model. As per reports, when the couple was separated, he had a brief fling with the model.
However, months after their torrid affair, the Hungarian model launched a paternity suit against the comedian, alleging that during their one-night stand, she conceived his child. A DNA test was conducted and it was proven that the child was not Chris Rock’s, but in 2000, she again filed a report to the Beverly Hills police, accusing the comedian of r**ing her.
As per the Los Angeles Times, Rock allegedly hired Anthony Pellicano, a secret detective to bury the scandal. The detective went all in to bury the incident, which even includes a recording of an unbelievably filthy 31-minute conversation with the comedian via The HuffPost.
“CR: R**e is just f**king, buzz, you know?… Once you’re accused of r**e, you’re just F**KED, you know?”
“AP: That’s why I want to blacken this girl up, totally. I want to make her out to be a lying, scumbag, manipulative c**ks***er… Stupid b**ch”
The Heads of State actor allegedly mentions in the same call, how getting accused of such heinous accusations would bring an end to his career, and he would end up shooting the needles up his arm.
“I’m f**ked. I’m better getting caught with needles in my arm. WAY better. Needles, with pictures, there’s Chris Rock shooting heroin. Much better blow to the career.”
While Rock was worried about the accusations, both parties agreed to a financial settlement a few months later. While details of the settlement are still a secret. During his stand-up special, he shares an important lesson from his accursed affair.
Chris Rock Learned a Meaningful Lesson From His Affair
The 58-year-old comedian had been married to Malaak Compton-Rock for two decades, but he was not faithful to her at all during the tenure of their marriage. The comedian had acknowledged his extra-marital affairs during their time together as a couple.
During his 2018 Netflix Special Chris Rock: Tamborine via E! News, during the show, he acknowledged that was “not a good husband,” and mentioned how he cheated on his wife with three different women. He mentions how his wife is not the same person, something which he regrets doing.
“It’s f**ked up. When guys cheat, it’s like we want something new. But then you know what happens? Your woman finds out, and now she’s new. She is never the same again. So, now you have new, but you have a bad new. Some of these lessons you’ve just got to learn. Like, I brought this s**t on myself; nobody told me to go ho up. I brought this s**t on myself, and you’ve got to learn some lessons—some man lessons.”
As the show continued, he called himself a “f**king a**hole,” taking full responsibility for their failed marriage.
“It’s my fault, because I’m a f**king a**hole. I didn’t listen. I wasn’t kind. I had an attitude, I thought, ‘I pay for everything, [so] I can do what I want.’ That s**t don’t f**king work! I just thought I was the s**t.”
Sadly, it was too late for Rock to realize his mistake, as his wife had left him. However, he is trying to be a different man, someone that his wife would not have left for cheating on her with three different women.
