A 23-year-old man, identified as Isaiah Lee, is being held on $30,000 bail after a terrifying physical attack on legendary comedian Dave Chappelle. The incident happened last night (Tuesday 3rd May 2022) at Chappelle’s Hollywood Bowl performance — part of the “Netflix Is A Joke” festival. The brazen attack came only a month and a few days after another comedian was attacked on stage — Chris Rock — with the infamous slap delivered by Will Smith. According to reports, a man in the audience somehow got on stage and manhandled Chappelle, tackling him violently and slamming him on the hard stage. The attacker pointed a gun at Chappelle as he rushed him. However, Police later confirmed the gun was not real — it was a replica of a semi-automatic with a real knife attached to it. Chappelle, therefore, was in real danger during the violent attack. Serious questions are being raised today as to how the man managed to not only get past security to rush the stage, but also metal detectors to get into the venue. An eyewitness told TMZ the attacker got up and started running as a swarm of people went after him. He was running around the screen on the stage when, as the eyewitness put it, “the mob caught up with him and beat the crap out of him, stomping on him.” The eyewitness said actor Jamie Foxx and rapper Busta Rhymes, who were both present for the show, got a few licks in as well.
The attacker was injured and taken by stretcher to an ambulance and is currently at Hospital. He was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. Chappelle was okay enough to continue with his act following the attack, telling the audience, “I don't know if that was part of the show. I grabbed the back of that n***** head, his hair was spongy, absorbent.” Chris Rock just happened to be one of Chappelle‘s special guests last night. Following the attack, Chris walked on stage, hugged his friend Chappelle and said, “Was that Will Smith?” The audience erupted in laughter. This is a developing story - refresh this page for updates.
