Rumors have swirled since comedian Chris Rock revealed in a comedy routine he
cheated on his ex-wife with three different women, including
And sources tell Page Six the famous fling was with “Scandal” star Kerry
Washington.
A new Rolling Stone cover story reported Rock saying in a routine, “I was
a piece of s–t,” of his marriage to ex-wife Malaak Compton-Rock.
The
mag adds that Rock “segues into his infidelities and gets disarmingly
specific, describing three women: one famous, one semifamous and one a
member of the retail class.”
A source told Page Six: “He was cheating on his wife with Kerry when
they were filming [‘I Think I Love My Wife’] about him, ironically, having
fantasies of cheating on his wife. That went on for a while, for like six
months, and she found out.
There’s no gray area.”
Buzz about the affair actually began around 2007, we hear, when
Washington was engaged to actor David Moscow. But Rock reignited the
rumor in the RS cover story on his “Total Blackout” world tour.
“It’s
the alimony tour. I’ve got to make some money first,” he told the mag.
His divorce was finalized last year.
A source close to Rock brushed off the routine as shtick, but admitted his
marriage to Malaak was tumultuous.
“I take it as a joke when he says he
cheated with a famous person. He even says he cheated with a member of
Destiny’s Child, but not Beyoncé,” the source said.
“He was friends with
Kerry around that time. They did the movie together. He was also
separated from Malaak around that time. They were off-and-on a lot
during their marriage.
It was a rocky situation.”
Washington’s ex Moscow was asked about the alleged affair in 2016 and
reportedly responded, “No comment.”
Washington is now happily married to Nnamdi Asomugha, and the couple
has two kids, daughter Isabelle and son Caleb.
Rock is currently dating actress Megalyn Echikunwoke, but said, “Would I
ever get married again? Not if it would cure AIDS.” Reps for Rock and
Washington did not comment.
