A man who rushed the stage during a Dave Chappelle performance at the Hollywood Bowl and tackled the comedian to the ground is suing the venue and the security team it hired.The lawsuit filed Friday alleges security officers and members of Chappelle's entourage beat Isaiah Lee 'ruthlessly,' dislocated his shoulder and spat on him after Lee assaulted Chappelle while the comedian was introducing another performer at the 'Netflix is a Joke' festival on May 3, 2022.
In video of the moments following the attack, Chris Rock is seen joking to Chappelle, 'Was that Will Smith?' in reference to the actor's slapping assault on Rock at the Oscars earlier that year.A representative for Chappelle described the attack as 'unfortunate' and 'unsettling' but said the comedy festival was a historic moment for Chappelle and would not be overshadowed by anything else.
