Everybody Hates Chris: Rochelle Moments Season 1 Part 2 - The Nostalgia Guy

Rosalie Tingman "Rochelle" Rock, (née Tingman) portrayed by Tichina Arnold, is one of the main characters in Everybody Hates Chris. Rochelle was inspired by the real Chris Rock's mother, Rose Rock. While Tichina Arnold and Rose Rock bear strong physical similarities, Rochelle's personality is over-exaggerated. Rochelle is a 36-year-old mother to three children (Chris, Tonya, and Drew) and an aggressive, hot-headed, loud, obnoxious, strict, firm, stern, feisty, humorous, sassy, sometimes insane, but very kind and loving wife to Julius Rock. Rochelle often exaggerates to her children how "she'll slap them into next week" or "slap them into another nationality". Even though she can be angered very easily, she can be softened up with a "Yes ma'am" or "I'm sorry". Rochelle loves to eat chocolate turtles; whenever she gets nervous, she eats them.
