Looks likeChris Rock isn’t really past the Oscar incident. During the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Comedian Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage. In a short video from the event, a man can be seen charging onto the stage and tackling Chappelle before the recording cuts out. Rock seems to have had flashbacks of the assault he fell prey to.
Followingadditional investigation, it was discovered that the attacker possessed a weapon capable of ejecting a knife blade when properly operated. However, it is now unknown if the suspect intended to use the weapon. Despite the fact that Chapelle was unharmed, the attacker was taken to the hospital for minor injuries, according to the police.
Meanwhile, Foxx appeared on stage to aid the comedian and calm the situation down a few notches. After the man tackled Chapelle, Chris Rock, who was also present at the event, went on stage and recalled a similar incident that occurred while he waspresenting an award at the Oscars.

After the backlash to his Netflix special, in which he asserted“gender is a fact”and declared himself a member of“team TERF”– which stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist – Chappelle took aim at cancel culture last year. He did say, though, that he was willing to talk about his show with the transgender community. SomeNetflixemployees walked out in protest, but the streaming giant stood with Chappelle and refused to remove the show.
