Fox News
Gilbert Gottfried showed support for Chris Rock in his final Twitter and Instgram posts on social media before his death. Gottfried, one of the most recognizable voices in show business, died after a long illness on Tuesday. He was 67.
A look at Gottfried's social media history shows that the last Twitter and Instagram posts he shared with his fans featured a selfie of him and fellow comedian Rock. He called attention to the Oscars controversy, in which Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head and was subsequently slapped on live television by Will Smith.
"Which is the worst crime? Chris Rock being physically assaulted or Chris Rock a telling a joke?" Gottfried captioned the selfie on March 28, just one day after the Oscars ceremony.
