Chris Rock has been on a roll over the past few weeks and he recently turned his sights to Bill Cosby’s bevy of rape allegations.
Rock does not seem to be a fan of Ben Roethlisberger, and blasted the quarterback Tuesday night in the video provided by TMZ.
Apparently, Chris Rock is not a Ben Roethlisberger fan — calling the Pittsburgh Steelers QB the “Original Cosby” during a media event in Baltimore last night.
Rock was addressing the crowd before a screening of his new movie “Top 5” when he said, “I was getting ready to say something really bad about Roethlisberger … he’s the original Cosby.”
Rock is clearly harkening back a few years — when two different women accused Big Ben of rape in two different cities.
Roethlisberger was first accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Lake Tahoe back in 2008. He ultimately settled with his accuser and was never charged with a crime.
The second alleged incident went down in Georgia in 2010 … when Ben allegedly assaulted a woman in a nightclub bathroom. He was investigated by cops but never charged with a crime.
Ben was never accused of drugging the women … unlike Bill Cosby who has been accused of giving women pills before taking advantage of them.
After Rock cracked the joke … he realized the comment might spark some controversy — saying, “That’s horrible … that’s gonna go everywhere.”
Props to our friends at the Baltimore Sun for getting the video.
Roethlisberger has about 20 less accusations than Cosby, but I see what he was saying.
