Actor and comedian Chris Rock said he has no respect for actor Jussie Smollett at the 50th annual NAACP Image Awards Saturday night.
Rock, who was presenting the award for outstanding comedy series to ABC’s “Black-ish,” said he was told not to joke about Smollett but went ahead and ripped the actor anyway. He tore into Smollett, who was accused of faking a hate crime for his own gain, over the “Empire” star’s light black skin.
“They said no Jussie Smollett jokes,” Rock said. “Yeah, I know, but what a waste of light skin. Do you know what I could do with that light skin? That curly hair, my career would be out of here. I would be running Hollywood. What the hell was he thinking?
“You are known as 'Jessie' for now on. You don't even get the 'u' anymore. That 'u' was for respect. You ain't getting no respect from me.” Rock said to laughter.
Prosecutors in Chicago dropped all charges against Smollett Tuesday. Police and other officials claim that Smollett, who is black and gay, paid two brothers $3,500 to pour bleach on him, fasten a noose around his neck, and yell racist and homophobic slurs. Smollett is also alleged to have sent threatening letters to himself before the incident.
Officials with the city said Thursday that it planned to bill Smollett $130,000 for the cost of investigating the incident.
