Chris Rock advised John Mulaney to hire his ex-wife’s divorce attorney: ‘He’ll get you your money!’

Chris Rock advised fellow SNL veteran John Mulaney to hire his ex-wife Malaak Compton’s attorney upon hearing he was divorcing his wife of six years, Annamarie Tendler.

56-year-old Chris heard 38-year-old John’s new divorce material while opening for him at his sold-out five-day From Scratch residency at Manhattan’s City Winery from May 10 to May 14.

‘The other night I saw Mulaney. Mulaney’s working on new stuff, Mulaney’s getting divorced,’ Rock confirmed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday.

‘This is how much money I lost in my divorce – I recommended my ex-wife’s divorce lawyer. I was like “You should get this guy, he’ll get you your money.” This guy is good, because I walked out with nothing. I couldn’t even afford the tickets tonight! You think I’m joking, but I really did.’

The four-time Emmy winner’s 51-year-old ex-wife did indeed receive a hefty portion of his $70M fortune following the end of their 18-year marriage in 2016.

And while it’s unclear who the former publicist hired to represent her, Chris clearly doesn’t think much of his own divorce attorney Robert S. Cohen.

In 2017, Rock admitted to having cheated on Malaak with three different women (‘one famous, one semifamous, and one a member of the retail class.’)

Meanwhile, Mulaney asked his ‘heartbroken’ 35-year-old wife for a divorce in February – a month after ending his 60-day stint at a Pennsylvania rehab to battle his cocaine and alcohol addiction.

It’s unclear which one will retain primary custody of their beloved eight-year-old French Bulldog Petunia Tendler-Mulaney.
