Chris Rock is deeply ‘frustrated’ at being dragged into Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith‘s ongoing marital dramas, with insiders claiming he would prefer it if the actress kept his name out of her mouth as she continues to promote her tell-all book.

The comedian, 58, was famously slapped across the face by Will live on stage at last year’s Oscars after he made a ‘G.I. Jane’ joke about Jada’s bald head – not long after she revealed she was suffering from alopecia.

Now, the stand-up comic has been dragged back into their troubled relationship after the Girls Trip actress, 52, claimed Chris once asked her out on a date when she and Will were previously at the center of divorce rumors.

‘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,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.

Chris Rock is tired of Jada Pinkett Smith talking about him amid her book tour – and wants her to keep his name out of her mouth, sources have said

On top of revealing that she and Will have been separated for seven years, Jada has also claimed that Chris once asked her out on a date amid reports she was headed for divorce

This latest development comes as Chris was seen out and about in Paris, taking a phone call as he strolled around the city

‘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.

‘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 insider added: ‘Chris is over it and would actually love for her to keep his name out of her damn mouth.’

Will told Chris to ‘keep my wife’s name out of your f*****g mouth’ – before going on to win Best Actor for his role in King Richard that night.

Representatives for Chris, Jada and Will did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Jada, who said she was shocked that he had referred to her as his ‘wife’, claimed that after Chris cracked the joke, he leant over to her to apologize – which infuriated Will even further.

Explaining the fallout, she said: ‘Will’s still talking cause now he’s mad because Chris is talking to me, and I go “Chris, this is about some old s**t.” That’s all I could think to say. It’s not him whatsoever.’

Chris’ annoyance comes after he was pictured for a second time in Paris in the wake of the fallout from Jada’s two explosive interviews. The comic, dressed in a brown sweater and cream pants, appeared to be deep in conversation on his phone as he walked through the capital.

Jada revealed she quietly separated from Will seven years ago and claimed Chris had once called her up to shoot his shot.

‘I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce,’ Jada told People. ‘And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce.

Jada revealed she hasn’t spoken to Chris since the infamous Oscars slap

‘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.’

Jada also addressed the Oscars slap, revealing she hasn’t spoken with Chris since.

‘[Do I have] any desire to talk to Chris? Here’s my desire: I just hope that all the misunderstanding around this can be cleared up and that there can be peace,’ she told the publication.

‘I talk about this in the book, I think that there might be some misunderstanding between Chris and I as far as the 2016 Oscars.

‘I think that he might’ve taken offense, which I meant no harm in offending. That wasn’t my intention. But I do think that there’s a big misunderstanding there.’

Back in 2016, Jada had called for a boycott of the awards ceremony after no actors of color were recognized in the major categories.

Chris, who was hosting, made jokes about Jada in his opening monologue, telling the audience: ‘Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!’

He claimed in his Netflix special earlier this year that the Gotham actress had insisted he quit the gig in a show of solidarity.

Jada said she considered a legal divorce but could never go through with it

Jada shocked fans this week when she laid bare the truth about her relationship with Will, who she married in 1997.

Speaking with Hoda on the Today Show on Wednesday, she explained why their union broke down, divulging: ‘By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.’

Jada – who admitted in 2020 that she’d had an affair with singer August Alsina – said she considered a legal divorce but could never go through with it, candidly revealing that she made a ‘promise’ to her husband that she would never give him a ‘reason’ to get divorced.

‘We will work through whatever,’ she added. ‘And I just haven’t been able to break that promise.’

‘But you still live separately?’ Hoda probed, prompting Jada to confirm: ‘We live separately’.

In a separate interview with People, she admitted they were in fact living separately when her husband slapped Chris at the Oscars.

She also noted that no permanent decisions have been made about the future of their marriage, explaining that she and Will are ‘still figuring it out’.

‘We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together,’ she said. ‘We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like.’

The couple are parents to son Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22.
