Comedian Chris Rock’s ex-wife is demanding serious money in child support for the South African girl the couple has been raising for the past seven years without legally adopting her!
Malaak Compton-Rock filed divorce papers that list not only her and Chris’ biological daughters Lola, 13, and Zahra, 11, but Ntombi-futhi Samantha as dependents, asserting the South African child has been raised “as a member of the family.”
Chris, however, claimed only Lola and Zahra as dependents in his divorce documents.
It turned out Ntombi had been living with the Rocks in New Jersey on a tourist visa since 2009.
As The National ENQUIRER has previously reported, South Africa is investigating the circumstances of Ntombi’s stay in America and weighing possible child trafficking charges against the funnyman and his ex.
Through her lawyer, Malaak denounced the overseas investigation, calling it “false and outrageous.”
“Malaak has never been contacted about an investigation of any sort,” said attorney David Aronson.
“While Malaak has made strides in the adoption, she understands that inter-country adoption is a long and rigorous process, with checks and balances in both countries essential for the protection of children,” he added. “Malaak again appeals for the privacy of her family.”
Ntombi reportedly started living the posh life in Alpine, N.J., with the wealthy comic when she was about 9 months old, and has since been photographed taking part in jet-set activities like family vacations in Hawaii, red carpet premieres and even NBA games!
But will the probe find Chris and Malaak have been gaming the system?
