Chris Rock says he wants Jada Pinkett Smith to “Keep his name out of her mouth”

Chris Rock said he ‘hates’ Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith for dragging him into their problems.

Chris Rock, the comedian and actor, does not want to be involved in another controversy with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. More than a year after he was slapped by the Oscar winner for making a joke about Jada, the comedian apparently “hates” that she continues to draw him into her and her estranged husband’s troubles.

Jada has done a number of interviews to promote her new biography “Worthy,” according to aceshowbiz.com. In one instance, she stated that Rock once asked her out on a date because he mistook her for being split from Will owing to divorce allegations. Chris is reportedly irritated by Jada’s remark and wants her to “keep his name out of her mouth.”

A source told Daily Mail: “Chris hates that she keeps bringing it up and bringing up the other revelations about Chris asking her on a date and all of that.”

“Chris has said his piece on the entire Will Smith slap, but now with these new revelations from Jada that her and Will have been living separate lives it is just another WTF moment in the whole saga from these past few years between Chris, her, and Will,” the source added.

The informant says of the comedian: “He is a relatively private person and was just getting to a point where people may have started to move on, but now it is back in the limelight, and it’s just frustrating that everything is coming back to the forefront.” The so-called insider added: “Chris is over it and would actually love for her to keep his name out of her damn mouth.”

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Jada said: “I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce. And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce.” The mother of two recalled, “So he called me and basically he was like, ‘I’d love to take you out.’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren’t you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumors.’ He was appalled. And he profusely apologized and that was that.”

In the same interview, the “Gotham” alum also revealed that she hasn’t talked to Chris since Will slapped him at the 2022 Academy Awards and explained what she thinks might be the roots of the misunderstanding between them. In another interview, Jada claimed that Will hadn’t called her his “wife” before the Oscars incident.

Speaking to NBC’s Hoda Kotb, she expressed her confusion when her estranged husband defended her against Chris’ joke, “What is going on? Now, first of all, I’m really shocked. ‘Cause, mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband or wife in a long time.” “I’m like, ‘What is going on right now?’ ” Jada continued. ” ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth,’ right? And now I’m really worried for Will, because I don’t know what’s going on.”
