*Chris Rock split from his wife of 18 years, Malaak Compton-Rock, after repeatedly cheating on her, and he opens up about this side of his personal life in his Netflix comedy special, “Chris Rock: Tamborine,” which debuted on Valentine’s Day.
“It’s my fault because I’m a fucking asshole. I didn’t listen, I wasn’t kind. I just thought I was the shit, man,” he says in the special.
Rock continues saying he “brought this shit on myself. Nobody told me to go ho up.”
The comedian admitted to sleeping with three different women while on the road.
He also shared the effect his behavior had on his wife.
“It’s fucked up. When guys cheat, it’s like we want something new. But then you know what happens? Your woman finds out, and now she’s new. She is never the same again. So now you have new, but you have a bad new.”

Rock ends the bit with a bit of advice: “You don’t wanna get divorced. You got somebody you love, hold tight. Commit.”
Since his divorce, Rock has been linked to actress Megalyn Echikunwoke. The two reportedly started dating in 2016.
Rock’s special takes its name from his comparison of being in a relationship to being in a band.
“Sometimes you sing lead, and sometimes you’re on tambourine. And if you’re on tambourine, play it right. Play it with a f—ing smile, because no one wants to see a mad tambourine player.”
When it comes to his self-described porn addiction, Rock said:
“I was addicted to porn,” he says, joking that he was “15 minutes late everywhere.” Rock continues, “When you watch too much porn, you know what happens? You become, like, sexually autistic. You develop sexual autism. You have a hard time with eye contact and verbal cues … You get desensitized. When you start watching porn, any porn will do. Then, later on, you’re all f—ed up and you need a perfect porn cocktail to get you off. I was so f—ed up, like, I needed an Asian girl with a black girl’s ass that speaks Spanish just to get my d— to move an inch. I’m a lot better now.”
