Dave Chappelle Hollywood Bowl Attack: Isaiah Lee's Alleged Motive for Attacking the Comedian Revealed

Dave Chappelle made a secret show in Los Angeles on Thursday and revealed a new detail about his encounter with Isaiah Lee, his attacker, in his show at The Hollywood Bowl.

According to Fox News, Chappelle did his secret comedy show at The Comedy Store, where he was a last-minute addition. Fans reportedly paid at least $160 to see the show led by an unnamed comedian.

It was unclear how many attendees were in Chappelle's secret show. But The Hollywood Reporter reported that several celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Jeff Ross, and Sean "Diddy" Combs, were in attendance.

During the show, Chappelle revealed that he tried to talk to his attacker. The comedian pointed out that he convinced the security of The Hollywood Bowl to let him enter the room where Lee was being held.

Chappelle then told the crowd that Lee attacked him because his grandmother was forced out of her neighborhood in Brooklyn due to gentrification.

The attacker reportedly claimed that his actions against the comedian were done to draw awareness to what happened to his grandmother. To him, Chappelle shared that Lee appeared "mentally ill."

Comedian Chris Rock was with him on the stage the entire show, and they were able to joke about their respective experiences before Chappelle opened up about what Lee told him.

"At least you got smacked by someone of repute... I got smacked by a homeless guy with leaves in his hair," Chappelle jokingly told Rock, referring to Will Smith's slap at the Oscars.

Rock then told Chappelle that he was smacked by the "softest n**** that ever rapped."

Dave Chappelle's attacker pleaded not guilty to four misdemeanor charges in court Friday. According to CNN, Isaiah Lee's charges included battery and possession of a weapon.

Chelsea Padilla, Lee's lawyer, said the attacker is receiving mental health services from a local nonprofit organization.

In case Lee posted bail, Judge Wendy Segall ordered the attacker to stay away at least 100 yards from Chappelle. He was also ordered to have no contact with the comedian's residence or any venue where he would be performing.

Isaiah Lee's bail remains set at $30,000, which will be reviewed at May 10 hearing. He is scheduled to appear at a pretrial hearing in the case on May 20.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office decided earlier in the week not to pursue felony charges in the case.

Hollywood Bowl to Improve Security After Dave Chappelle Attack
