He said:
“Someone said it was joking about her [Jada’s] disability. Well I’m going a bit thin, so I’m disabled. That means I can park right up next to Tescos now,”
“And I’m fat, that’s a disease. I’m fat and balding, I should get f***ing benefits.”
The Office star continued by saying that Rock’s joke that kicked off this whole fiasco ‘wasn’t bad’:
“You don’t hit people over a joke, however bad it is. And it wasn’t bad!
‘That was like the tamest joke I would ever have told.”
