As we reported earlier, Chris Rock is caught up in a strange adoption controversy concerning the child he raised, Ntombi.

Now, TMZ reports that in divorce documents, Malaak, Chris’s ex-wife, is seeking financial support for the child.

Allegedly, when Chris filed his divorce petition, he only mentioned Zahra and Lola, his two biological daughters.

To be clear, the child was never legally adopted by Chris or Malaak, but lived in the US under a visitor’s visa under their care.

This is super complicated. On one hand, it’s like, the child has been in their home and that’s the only child she knows. On the other hand, he has no legal responsibility. But there is such thing as a moral responsibility. We will see how this plays out.
