Earlier this week it was reported that South African authorities were opening an investigation into how comedian Chris Rock and his estranged wife Malaak acquired the 7 year-old South African child they have been raising since birth [click here if you missed that].
Malaak responds to the reports…
Malaak's attorneys tell People Mag
"The tabloid reports are false and outrageous. Malaak has never been contacted about an investigation of any sort. The welfare and livelihood of this child has always been of utmost importance to the entire Rock family. She is in the United States lawfully with the written consent of her biological parents, with whom she continues to have contact."
"While Malaak has made strides in the adoption, she understands that intercountry adoption is a long and rigorous process, with checks and balances in both countries essential for the protection of children. Malaak again appeals for the privacy of her family."
