Channing Tatum Wants Divorce Issues with Jenna Dewan Dealt With in One Trialonstage at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022 is now suing the venue and its associated security ... alleging they allowed this whole debacle to unfold.-- who makes a point of saying he identifies as bisexual and has experienced homelessness in his filing -- says he rushed the stage to tackle Dave as a protest against jokes he made during the evening., allegedly spitting on him and dislocating his elbow purposefully ...

BTW ... Lee says the knife that looked like a gun fell out of his pocket during the beating, and he never pulled it out to use on Dave.The plaintiff also claims the venue knew about Dave's propensity for telling offensive jokes, and should've taken action to prevent potential harm caused by said jokes -- presumably, including ones about transgender people ... for which DC was famous by then.

Lee's suing for negligent security and battery ... claiming he's suffering from back injuries, loss of mobility and the aforementioned dislocated elbow -- as well as other medical issues. Worth noting ... Dave himself is NOT a defendant here -- Isaiah's just going after the Bowl.Remember ... Lee took a plea deal in the Chappelle case -- pleading no contest to a pair of misdemeanors ... entering a restricted area during a live event and battery.

BTW ... Lee's maintained his claim he attacked Chappelle because his material triggered him -- first making the statement shortly after the incident in 2022.
