Comedian Chris Rock is pulling back the curtain on the personal demons that led to the collapse of his marriage, admitting in a candid interview that a porn addiction and infidelity played a major role in his 2016 divorce.
Rock, who was married to Malaak Compton-Rock for two decades, compared his past behavior to a reckless Marvel superhero—newly empowered but selfish before a hard fall back to reality. “I was not a great husband,” he told GQ. “I watched a lot of porn. I don’t watch porn anymore. I haven’t watched porn in five, six years.”
Therapy and Turning a Corner
The 58-year-old comedian said he eventually sought therapy to confront his issues, though he mocked the trendiness of boasting about sessions. “My personal life wasn’t what I wanted it to be,” Rock admitted. “I went in there crying like a bitch. Like: What the fuck is going on?”
No More Red Carpets
Rock also made clear he has zero interest in returning to award shows after Will Smith infamously slapped him at the 2022 Oscars. “Whatever happened happened,” he said dismissively. “I don’t really like talking about it.” When pressed, he doubled down: “I’m just not interested in doing the Oscars again—or any awards show.”
Taking Shots at Woke Culture and Media
Never one to shy from controversy, Rock recently drew attention for giving Donald Trump rare—if qualified—praise for the former president’s “fake news” rhetoric. “The news is fake. He got that right,” Rock told Variety in September, though he emphasized he’s “not a fan” of Trump overall.
In another interview last month, the comedian compared modern “woke” activism to the unforgiving justice of the Old Testament. “The problem with wokeness is we’re in the Old Testament right now,” Rock said. “And the Old Testament has no forgiveness.” He extended the metaphor to witch hunts, suggesting that while early targets may have deserved scrutiny, the movement eventually spiraled into self-perpetuating excess.
