Chris Rock says he thought he could get away with cheating on his now ex-wife, Malaak Compton-Rock, because he was the breadwinner. The comedian discussed just that and more while talking about his failed marriage in a new interview with Rolling Stone. "Getting divorced, you have to f--king start over," he told the magazine. "You get to reset. It's not a breakdown, but something in your life broke down." During one of his recent shows on his Alimony Tour, Rolling Stone reports, the actor admitted he was a “piece of s--t” for cheating on his wife of 18 years and said that he thought he could get away with it because he made the money. "That's bulls--t,” Rock said. “That actually goes the other way. My faults are magnified. Your significant other, if they really love you, has a high opinion of you. And you let them down." Rock also said “it’s not fair” for him to speak poorly of his ex-wife in public because “I have a mic, she doesn’t.” Rock and Malaak, who share daughters Zahra and Lola Rock, separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce last year.
