While Chris Tucker has not publicly commented on photos of himself recently released by the US Department of Justice as part of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the actor is receiving backlash over his latest Instagram posts.
Hundreds of people flooded the comments section of his Instagram post shared on October 28, asking why he was with Jeffrey Epstein.
“Why are you in the files bro,” one user wrote after new documents were released on Friday.
“Chris, why did I just see a picture of you with Epstein’s gang,” said another fan with a broken heart emoji.
A number of photos include Chris Tucker posing with Ghislaine Maxwell or appearing in group shots, but the DOJ statement provides no evidence of criminal behavior by him.
The US Justice Department released thousands of heavily redacted documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, which made little mention of President Donald Trump but widely featured former Democratic President Bill Clinton.
Celebrities featured in photos available as part of Friday’s edition include the late news anchor Walter Cronkite, singers Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, British businessman Richard Branson and the former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson. Many of the photos were undated and presented without context.
