Comedian Chris Rock was put on the stand Friday to testify against “private eye” Anthony Pellicano. Rock hired Pellicano in 1999 when Hungarian model Monika Zsibrita filed a paternity suit against him after a one night stand at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Anthony Pellicano is being charged with illegally wiretapping and bribing dozens of Hollywood stars and movie executives. Anthony has plead not guilty. Charges that are being examined are, wiretapping, bribing police and telephone company officials to run illegal background checks. If convicted he could spend the rest of his years behind bars.
Rock was said to look very nervous at his 20 minutes questioning. There are to be 100 more witnesses that are going to take the stand, including Sylvester Stallone and Farrah Fawcett.
Rock, it turns out, was not the father of Zsibrita’s child. Rock thought that was the end of the story where he was concerned. The tide turned in 2001 when Zsibrita claimed she was raped by the comedian in 1999. That was when he hired Pellicano and his real troubles got a whole lot murkier.
