Nicole Brown Simpson's sister, Tanya Brown, slammed Chris Rock over a joke in which he referenced her sibling's murder in relation to his stance on returning to the Oscars.
Former NFL star O.J. Simpson was charged with murdering wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman, but was later acquitted. O.J. and Nicole are pictured in 1994.
Rock's joke about the murders sparked significant controversy on social media. According to a report by Entertainment Tonight, one of the trial's prosecutors, Christopher Darden, weighed in a post he shared to his private Instagram account. "I don't advocate violence but I guess this guy hasn't learned his lesson," he wrote."I guess Will failed to slap any sense into him.""I know some people who are deeply hurt and offended by this joke. Lame as it is. I mean he has every right to say what he said but maybe if some of his jokes were more general in nature and not so specific as to mock specific people," Darden's post continues.
"Nicole was somebody's mother bruh and Ron was a son and a brother, you know? Do you always have to make a joke at somebody else's expense?"Ashley Hume is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to [email protected] and on Twitter: @ashleyhume
