Chris Rock invoking the late Nicole Brown Simpson didn’t land with the public, and it’s definitely not landing with her family either — ’cause he’s getting dragged by them. Tanya Brown, Nicole’s sister, tells TMZ … CR’s crack wasn’t just unfunny, it literally doesn’t make sense. She says equating getting slapped at the Oscars to a gruesome double homicide is apples to oranges — so, she thinks it’s lacking in logic and a basic connection. With that said, Tanya tells us his attempt at humor was distasteful to say the least, and offensive to the extended family … especially since she believes it was totally gratuitous. What TS wants Chris — and anyone else who might want to invoke Nicole’s murder in their bit — to know is this … there are still surviving family members who are still dealing with her loss to this day, and this type of stuff hits close to home and hurts people. 3/27/22 ABC Tanya says she thinks Chris could’ve used any other analogy to make his point … and didn’t have to punch down to something that doesn’t even relate — coming off as tacky as a result. She believes comedians should be held accountable for what they say, including Chris. Well, one could argue that’s happening right now … CR is certainly being called out by a lot of people online, who also thought the joke was cringe-worthy. ABC Will Smith Smacks Chris Rock gaming Over Jada Joke at the Oscars Some are so outraged by him name-dropping Nicole and likening her tragic situation to his … that a select few are even suggesting maybe he deserved getting smacked by Will Smith . Remember, he said him going back to host the Oscars would be like NBS going back to the restaurant she was at before being killed to get her eyeglasses. Indeed … grimace territory. Tanya isn’t going that far … but she does agree, this was a complete misfire on his end.
