In the Netflix show Selective Outrage , the 58-year-old comedian shared his journey as a father to his two daughters, Lola Simone (20 years old) and Zahra Savannah (18 years old).
Chris Rock surprised everyone with the story of asking the school to expel his eldest daughter Lola when she made a mistake.
A timely lesson brings great value.
Comedian Chris Rock in Selective Outrage talks about his efforts to make sure his children don’t turn out bad.
A typical example is the story of his eldest daughter Lola, who was caught secretly drinking outside on a school trip to Portugal .
“Of course, Lola and her friends were discovered. Schools don’t usually let violations like this go unnoticed,” Chris said.

Instead of letting their children be punished (in the US the legal drinking age is 21), parents quickly hire lawyers in the hope of helping their children escape punishment.
The comedian shared on the show: “Rich parents don’t let their children get expelled from school. So they all hire lawyers, even those who are already lawyers hire better lawyers.”
Grown Ups star says this is not true, Chris Rock wants his daughter to understand that her actions will have consequences.
However, Lola was quite carefree, she was sure that she would get away with it because she had her parents’ backing.
“I came home from work and found Lola outside laughing with her friends instead of feeling ashamed and guilty about her behavior. She even said: ‘Daddy, stop it, don’t be so serious, I’ll be right back at school,’” Chris recalled.
Realizing that his daughter had no idea what she was doing wrong, Chris decided to take matters into his own hands. He asked the principal of Lola’s school to expel her.
Chris Rock told the principal: “I need you to remove my daughter from school immediately. I want my daughter to learn her lesson now before she gets involved in some nonsense.”
The comedian ‘s timely firmness awakened the girl.
After Lola and her friends were expelled from school, things got better.

Lola is currently attending culinary school and is doing well, making Chris Rock very proud.
In 2017, he shared a heartfelt tribute to his daughters on Instagram:
“Lola got a great report card today and Zahra got an A on her math test. I’m on tour and miss my kids in Dallas tonight.”
At 58 years old, Chris Rock is a famous comedian in the US, with a career spanning film, stage and television.
