Apparently Dave Chappelle getting attacked on stage [click here if you missed that] has given Chris the courage to speak...
Two nights after a man attacked him onstage at the Hollywood Bowl, Dave Chappelle addressed the incident at a secret comedy show in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Ten minutes into Chappelle’s set, Chris Rock, who was at Tuesday night’s show and, of course, was slapped by Will Smith onstage at the 2022 Oscars, joined him onstage.
Rock took a stool near Chappelle and remained there for the rest of the performance. It was two of the biggest comedians joking about the headline-making attacks they’d recently experienced — all unfolding in a 70-seat annex of The Comedy Store.
“At least you got smacked by someone of repute!” Chappelle joked to Rock. “I got smacked by a homeless guy with leaves in his hair.”
Rock laughed and responded, “I got smacked by the softest n—a that ever rapped.”
