Jada Pinkett Smith’s camp has reacted days after comedian Chris Rock blasted her and her husband Will Smith on his live Netflix special ‘Selective Outrage’.
Sources close to Jada Pinkett are claiming that Chris Rock is obsessed with the actress much so as fans criticized Rock, 58, for choosing Pinkett Smith’s hometown of Baltimore to film his Netflix special.
The source further claimed to People that Chris Rock has been ‘obsessed’ with Jada Pinkett for decades, adding she has nothing to do with the drama.
’’Jada has had no part in all of this other than being heckled. Chris Rock is obsessed with her and that’s been going on for almost 30 years,’ the source claims.
‘‘Look where he chose to film his Netflix special. Her hometown [of Baltimore]. Obsessed,’ the source added.
Part of the special featured Chris Rock making fun of Jada for asking him not to host the Oscars after he was snubbed for his performance in 2015’s Concussion.
‘‘Years ago, his wife said I should quit the Oscars. I shouldn’t host ’cause her man didn’t get nominated for Concussion. And then he gives me a f***ing concussion,” Rock said during the special.
The source close to Jada disputes this, claiming, ”She never asked Chris to not host ever. She publicly said in a Facebook post at the time Chris would be a great Oscars host and is perfect for the job.”

‘‘Back in 2016 she helped start a movement with the Academy Awards by questioning why there are so few Black members, and Chris took it to this?’ the source added.
Rock also said in the special that, ‘I made some jokes about her. Who gives a f**k? That’s how it is: She starts it, I finish it,” Rock said.
‘That’s what the f**k happened. Nobody’s pickin’ on this b*tch. She started this s**t. Nobody was pickin’ on her,’ Rock said in the 90-minute special.
The source claimed Jada was, ”shocked at how many times Chris used the word b*tch in referring to Jada.”
