Following Chris Rocks's latest Netflix special, Selective Outrage, some people are calling the comic “bitter” and unable to move on
Jones addressed the matter in response to an Instagram follower of Hughley’s who commented on a clip of Rock’s act.
Jones, 55, replied to the follower, “y’all forget he got slapped in front of the world yo! His kids, his mama, peers EVERYONE! I wonder how y’all muthaf**kas would handle that! And he is A COMEDIAN this is his way of expressing it. If he sang he would write a song. Cause it’s a painful thing that happen.”
She went on, “Y’all act like you would be righteous! YOU ARE HYPOCRITES! Shut the f**k up and go sit down.”

Hughley, 60, shared a snippet from the special and addressed those calling Rock bitter, writing, “That happened to HIM, to CHRIS… and the ENTIRE WORLD got to weigh in and talk trash and make jokes and ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ the whole damn thing to death. OTHER COMEDIANS have bits about it, it was an opener for most of us. The ONE PERSON YOU NEVER HEARD FROM ABOUT IT WAS CHRIS!!
“So NOW, that HE decides to address it on HIS TIME, people have the audacity to say: “he’s bitter… Why is he still talking about that… let it go… or the best one WE’VE MOVED ON”. So YOU got to speak on it but he can’t??? Y’all are a straight f*n trip. Congratulations @chrisrock YOU DID THE DAMN THANG!! #TeamDL.”
Chris is ready to move on. A source says:
"He said everything he wanted to say. It was funny, self-deprecating, and thought-provoking. Now, "Chris is ready to move on."
