Stupid move on his part.

They have decided to end their marriage after nearly 20 years.
On Sunday Chris Rock's wife Malaak Compton announced she was leaving the 49-year-old comedian.
'After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have decided to go our separate ways,' she said in a statement.
The founder of the nonprofit styleWorks added, 'Being fortunate enough to lead a life of service by working with those most vulnerable makes me well aware of life's blessings, even when faced with difficulties.
'While recognizing that this is a significant change, my children remain at the center of my life and their well-being is my top priority.
'It is in this spirit that I sincerely ask that their privacy and the privacy of our family be respected during this transition in our lives.'
The couple were plagued by a report in 2010 that he had fathered a child out of wedlock.
In 2007 there were reports that they were on the rocks, but Chris defended they were 'happy.'
'The best part is just having a partner,' the Madagascar star said in 2007. 'There is no real worst part. I'm not going to say there's a worst part. I mean, I'm a comedian – comedians like to work alone. So maybe I'm not the ideal guy to be married to, in that sense.'

******* Prolly due to him playing around and wanting to play around even more like Bill Cosby his idol.... BUT minus the rape and date rape drugs
Chris Rock: a man is as faithful as his options.
I am surprised she stayed for 20 years.
I’m Claude Rains! Claude Rains!
How could that woman live one day, much less 20 years with that racist?
Stupid move on his part.
In all fairness, a celebrity marriage is probably 20X less likely to last than a non-celebrity one—for many reasons. The most obvious is people throwing themselves at the celebrity partner.
“Never drive with a crazy woman.”
Trading her in for a newer model.
What a guy.
Probably because she’s one too. Just guessing.
First thing she will say at the divorce proceeding: “He got weed!!!”
Wife is on the left (Rock’s right).
Stupid move on his part.
Rock’s body language says it all in his photo unless he’s just taking a photo with a fan. His attention is focused on the woman that’s not his wife...
Not so stupid if he went with the chick on the right.
He probably would not get into a car with his ex......
His next bit will be called Straight Outta Compton.
About a month ago I was watching CBS Sunday Morning and they interviewed Rock. It didn’t take long and he fell right into the police only shoot blacks and NEVER shoot white people rant. Just another limo liberal spewing lies.
Interestingly, cops shoot blacks at a rate about halfway between their percentage of the population and their percentage of the crimes.
Which seems pretty reasonable.
Though I think cops shoot too many people, black and white. And that cops aren’t usually held to a high enough standard with regard to use of force, especially lethal force.
He says he likes "to work alone."
Except of course for the "work assistant" on every tour stop and probably two or three in some.
So you may have hit on something.
We KNOW he has.
lol
