## Summary

Chris Rock says he was not a good husband to Malaak Compton-Rock and takes responsibility for cheating and watching pornography during their marriage. He described testing his limits and later being “severely humbled”, reflecting on the mistakes that contributed to the relationship’s end.

The couple married in 1996, separated in 2014 and finalised their divorce in 2016 after nearly 20 years together; they have two daughters. Rock also said the divorce, touring and the pandemic delayed his return to directing: his new film, *Misty Green*, is his first in 12 years and centres on an actress attempting a comeback.
