[WATCH] Dave Chappelle Attacked, Gun Pulled Out On Comedian At Hollywood Bowl

by
Dave Chappelle Tests Positive for COVID-19

Last night, Dave Chappelle’s onstage appearance last night (May 3) came to an immediate stop when someone rushed the stage and attacked Chappelle. Now, it’s been reported tht the individual had a gun and pulled it out on Chappelle during the performance.

During Dave’s “Netflix Is A Joke” Festival, a man managed to get onstage and tackle Chappelle, slamming him onto the stage. Authorities also say that the man had a gun in his hand as he rushed the comedian in stage, but the gun was not real.

A crowd of people ran after the assailant, who eventually caught up to him “and beat the crap out of him, stomping on him.” Eyewitnesses say Busta Rhymes and Jamie Foxx even got in a couple of blows on the assailant.

The attacker was taken away on a stretcher and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Dave continued with his act, 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 ironically was one of Chappelle’s guests, who after the attack, came on stage, hugged Chappelle and said, “Was that Will Smith?”

Blac Chyna Loses $100M Defamation Case Against The Kardashian-Jenners

Rolling Stone reports that after ten hours of deliberations, Blac Chyna lost her $100 million defamation case against the Kardashian clan just days after her case against Kim Kardashian was dropped.

Chyna filed her case against the Kardashians back in 2017 when she claimed the family made defamatory remarks about her and conspired to get her and Rob Kardashian’s reality show canceled. The trial lasted several weeks, with Kylie Jenner taking the stand and testifying about Chyna’s violent tendencies towards her brother.

Chyna denied the accusations, even alleged she was playing when a situation was brought up about her wrapping a phone cord around Rob’s neck and pointing a gun at his head. Tokyo Toni, Blac Chyna’s mother, was thrown out of the courtroom for her statements about the Kardashian family. Kris, Khloe, Kim, Kylie, Rob, and Kris’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, testified during the trial.

Ultimately, the jury decided to rule in favor of the Kardashian-Jenners, and Blac Chyna will not receive any damages due to the case.
