Chris Rock: Mystery 7-Year-Old Lived with Family on Pleasure Visa
Chris Rock has not seen the 7-year-old girl who lived with him since she was an infant in more than a year… and we’re told it’s because he believes his estranged wife Malaak did something shady to get her here in the first place.
In the meantime, Chris has kept a close relationship with the couple’s other daughters, Lola and Zahra Rock, since the divorce previous year.
According to TMZ, it’s unclear why Ntombi started living with the Rocks in the U.S. Her parents are both alive and live in South Africa.
As for why he Chris has not had contact with Ntombi, TMZ cites sources connected to the actor who say he never signed legal docs to adopt her, and bringing her over to the USA was all Malaak’s doing. From what’s known at this point, no evidence shows that the Rock family ever adopted the girl. The visa allows the visitor to stay in the USA for up to 1 year, after which time the visitor must go back to her country and fill out paperwork before coming back. One of his reps told TMZ he does not have an adopted child.
“Because ‘sacrifice” infers that there was something better to do than being with your children. “And I’ve never been with my kids and gone, ‘Man, I wish I was on my stage right now'”.
Apparently, this was Malaak’s thing that she orchestrated, and once the divorce happened, Chris took his hands off of it. He was the one to file because he knew it was time to just move forward already’. In a statement announcing the split Malaak said: “After much contemplation and 19 years of marriage, Chris and I have chose to go our separate way”.
