‘YOU’RE ‘JESSIE’ FROM NOW ON’: Chris Rock roasts Jussie Smollett at NAACP Awards
Comic Chris Rock poked fun at Empire star Jussie Smollett while presenting an award at the NAACP Image Awards Saturday night.
“They said no Jussie Smollett jokes,” Rock told the audience at the ceremony, eliciting laughs from the crowd.
“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 f—ing running Hollywood,” Rock said during the televised show.
“You’re ‘Jessie’ from now on, you don’t get the ‘u’ no more. That ‘u’ was respect, you ain’t getting no respect from me,” Rock added, while the camera showed The Daily Show host Trevor Noah laughing hysterically.
Smollett, who was recently arrested for disorderly conduct in Chicago after allegedly staging and reporting a fake assault, was a no-show at the event, despite being nominated in the category for best supporting actor in a drama series.
Though he was charged earlier this month on several felony counts, the charges were dropped last week and his record wiped clean.
Ironically, Smollett ended up losing to Jessie; Jessie Williams won for his work on Grey’s Anatomy.
