  • In a new GQ interview published Tuesday, Chris Rock discussed his 2016 divorce from Malaak Compton-Rock, admitting past struggles with pornography and infidelity that impacted his marriage.

  • Reflecting on his 2018 Netflix special "Tamborine," Rock said he has abstained from pornography for six years, describing the special as marking "the beginning of a new guy" despite "considerable emotional pain."
  • With his new film "Misty Green" arriving on Netflix Nov. 9, Rock emphasized wanting attention on his art rather than "some crazy night," redirecting focus to his directorial work.
  • Despite his frustration with entertainment journalism spreading "false witness," Rock has accepted being asked personal questions as part of living in a "gossipy" culture.
