SAVANNAH, Ga. - A court-ordered DNA test has now conclusively proved that Black comedian Chris Rock is not the father of a 13-year-old boy whose White mother tried to sue the comedian for support.
"The results of the test are that Chris Rock is not the father of this child," Rock's attorney, John Mayoue of Atlanta, said.
Rock and his wife, Malaak, said in a statement they were happy to put the case to rest. "We also express our deepest prayers for the welfare of Ms. Bowyer's son Jordan who has continually been embarrassed and exposed in the media by his mother," Rock's statement said.
Despite offers of thousands of dollars from television shows and tabloids, Bowyer said she had never received money for her story and planned to ask the judge to order another DNA test. She maintains she met Rock at a Los Angeles nightclub when she was living in California 13 years ago.
"I am sick and tired of being made out to be a liar and a fraud," Bowyer said.
Rock recently directed and starred in the box office bomb "I Think I Love My Wife," and is behind the hit television series "Everybody Hates Chris," which is based on his childhood. He and his African American wife have been married for 10 years and have two young children.
