Why Chris Rock Is Getting Divorced

According to Newser, Chris Rock was apparently unhappy when soon-to-be-ex-wife, Malaak’s statement made it sound like their decision to divorce was a mutual one, so, as TMZ puts it, his people “fired back … making it clear HE was the one who filed for divorce.”

Now, sources connected to the couple tell the gossip site Rock was simply tired of being in an unfulfilling marriage and wasn’t happy. A source echoes that sentiment to People, noting, “Chris has known it wasn’t salvageable for a while. He was the one to file because he knew it was time to just move forward already.” And, as the Washington Post points out, the comedian certainly wasn’t shy about dissing marriage in his stand-up act, movies, and interviews, with lines like “Hey, if bin Laden was here right now, he’s going, ‘Oh, yeah, my eight wives are killing me, too.'”
