Taj Jackson has spoken out against Chris Rock, accusing him of harassing his family for many years, following Rock’s comedy special on Netflix titled “Selective Outrage”. Rock’s special included jokes about Megan Markle, Will Smith, and a comparison between Michael Jackson and R. Kelly.

In response, Jackson addressed Rock’s joke about his deceased uncle, Michael Jackson, stating, “Chris Rock has used my family as punching bags for his entire career. Yet I am supposed to feel bad for him getting slapped and humiliated on the Oscars.”

He also expressed his disapproval of Rock’s continuous bullying disguised as jokes, and thanked Will Smith for his actions.

Taj Jackson’s tweet calling out Chris Rock: “Chris Rock has used my family as punching bags for his entire career. Yet I am supposed to feel bad for him getting slapped and humiliated on the Oscars. After seeing a new clip of him attacking my dead uncle in the first minutes of his ‘Retaliation-I’m still relevant’ special, I have 3 things to say. 1. What did my family ever do to you to warrant these decades of harassment and your constant bullying [disguised] as jokes? 2. Just because you were bullied early on in life doesn’t give you the excuse to bully others now. 3. Thank you, Will Smith.”

The comparison between Michael Jackson and R. Kelly has sparked controversy, especially considering Michael Jackson’s 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges and R. Kelly’s 2021-2022 convictions on sex trafficking and child pornography charges in two different jurisdictions.

The ongoing feud between Taj Jackson and Chris Rock has gained attention on social media, prompting discussions about the ethical boundaries of comedy and the impact of jokes targeting specific individuals and their families.
