Comedian Dave Chappelle on Thursday talked about meeting with his alleged attacker and shared what he believes is the man’s motive for tackling him onstage Tuesday at the Hollywood Bowl.
The firebrand comic performed a secret show at the Comedy Store on Thursday night, The Times has confirmed. He reportedly riffed on the attack during the set, which was attended by Kim Kardashian, Sean “Diddy” Combs, rapper Yasiin Bey, comedian Jeff Ross and disgraced comic Louis C.K.
Chappelle told the 70-seat Belly Room crowd that he persuaded security at the venue to let him speak with the alleged assailant, 23-year-old Isaiah Lee, in the room where he was being held, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
