Chris Rock tears Jussie Smollett at NAACP Image Awards: "What on earth did he think?"

Actor-comedian Chris Rock took verbal blows to the actor Jussie Smollett before presenting the Outstanding Comedy Series Award at ABC's "Black-ish" at the 50th Annual NAACP Image Awards. Smollett, who has all the criminal charges against him for allegedly organizing a hate crime, did not attend the ceremony.

"They did not say Jussie Smollett's jokes," Rock said. "Yeah, I know, but what a waste of clear skin, do you know what I could do with that clear skin?" That curly hair, my career would be out of here I would run Hollywood. "You are known as" Jessie "at the moment. You do not even get the "u" anymore. This "u" was for respect. You do not get any respect from me. "

In response to Rock's jokes, "black-ish" star Yara Shahidi clearly explained her position in the Smollett controversy.

"I'm standing next to Jussie," Shahidi said before handing over the microphone to Marcus Scribner and infiltrating among his casting mates, including Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross.

Jussie Smollett has lost the star of "Gray's Anatomy", Jessie Williams, in the supporting actor in a dramatic series category.

A lawyer in the city of Chicago said Thursday that the city claimed Smollett $ 130,000 as compensation for the costs of the investigation he had opened. Smollett maintained his innocence and told reporters Tuesday, after dropping his charges, that he was "truthful and consistent at all levels since the first day".
