Kali Bowyer claimed that comedian Chris Rock fathered her 13-year-old son. Chris Rock adamantly denied the allegations. On Monday the truth was revealed. A court ordered DNA test proved that Rock was not the father of Bowler’s son and now the 44-year-old funny man is taking aim at his accuser.
A statement endorsed by Rock and his wife Malaak read,
“Though we prefer to keep our private life out of the media, we feel that it is necessary to respond to the many grossly inaccurate media reports that were sold to the tabloids by Kali Bowyer who falsely claimed that Chris Rock fathered her 13-year-old son.
"After multiple lies, including that Chris refused to establish paternity and after finding out that Ms. Bowyer has an extensive criminal record, we personally asked the court to help us establish paternity so that we could put this harassment to rest.”
The statement continued,
"We have spent a tremendous sum to litigate this case and are asking our attorney to pursue all legal remedies against her (Bowyer).
"Additionally, we would like for any monies Ms. Bowyer has taken from the tabloid media, based on this false story to be donated to charities for the benefit of disadvantaged boys and girls.
"We also express our deepest prayers for the welfare of Ms. Bowyer's son who has been continuously embarrassed and exposed in the media by his mother. ... We are happy that this has come to an end.”
Kali Bowyer has expressed that she would challenge the test results and ask the judge to administer another paternity test. Bowyer claimed that she met Rock at a nightclub while living in Los Angeles and at that time they had a brief relationship that produced her son.
Chris Rock married Malaak Compton on November 23, 1996 and the couple have two children together.
