The sister of Nicole Brown Simpson is responding to a joke Chris Rock recently made about her sister's slaying.

Rock reportedly said he declined an offer to host the 2023 Academy Awards during his Sunday night show at the Arizona Financial Theatre in downtown Phoenix. The comedian reportedly made reference to the murder trial of O.J. Simpson and said accepting the hosting gig would be like going back to the scene of the crime. Rock reportedly compared going back to the Oscars to asking Nicole Brown Simpson "to go back to the restaurant" where she left her glasses before being killed, according to a report from the Arizona Republic.

Tanya Brown, the sister of Simpson, called the joke "distasteful" in a social media post.

“Nothing Is more lovely then to wake up on a Tuesday morning (Not) with TMZ calling you saying Chris Rock made a horrible ‘joke’ about Nicole,” together with an image of Rock at the Oscars, she said in an Instagram post.

Brown continued by criticising Rock for making a "G.I. Jane" joke about Jada Pinkett Smith at the Oscars; the actress has alopecia. Will Smith hit him on stage as a result of his remark.

“Nothing funny about his joke towards Jada as she suffers from a physical condition and nothing funny about equating an Oscar host invitation to a double homicide. I always thought he was funny, but he crossed the line with this one,” she said.

She continued, “In other words, Y’all!!!! Stop using my sister, OJ and Ron part of your cricking comedy act. There are families behind this tragedy!”
