Chris Rock has responded to Regina Kimbell, a woman suing him for allegedly copying her documentary for his new film, Good Hair.

In an interview with IFC.com, the comedian said his film doesn’t have that much in common.

“It’s weird because I called her to see the movie, and told her I was doing a movie, so it’s not like anybody was hiding it,” he said. “It’s like, ‘I’m thinking about doing a movie on hair.’ It was really to watch it to make sure I wasn’t going to make that movie. The only similarity is her movie goes to India and mine goes to India, but I don’t even know if she went to India. I think she got footage. That’s about it.

“Her movie is about [hair care entrepreneur Madam] C.J. Walker, histories of hair, men, women… She’ll probably be able to sell it now because of Good Hair, but it’s not humorous at all. [laughs] If you did two documentaries on George Washington, there’d be some similarities, but they’re not the same documentary. We’ll see what happens. I guess I’ll talk to my lawyers later today.”

Sounds like he’ll be able to hold on to that $5 million Kimbell is asking for.

Good Hair hits theatres October 16th.
