Rock’s admirers, on the other side, have stood up for him, saying that he is only using his right to free speech.
They contend that well-known people, such as Oprah and Behar, have long advocated for the eradication of traditional beliefs.
One admirer said on social media, “We need more people pushing Rock who don’t hesitate to tell the truth.”

The dispute draws attention to America’s persistent cultural gap, where divergent viewpoints often result in contentious disputes and splits.
