Dave Chappelle may face civil suit after being attacked on stage

TMZ has released video where Chappelle can be heard talking about the attacker’s injuries and appears to be happy about the outcome.

“I felt good my friends broke his arm,” Chappelle is heard saying in the video.

Those words could cost Chappelle if a civil suit is filed.

“It is very possible that Dave Chappelle’s own words, where he says that he roughed the guy up, can be used against him in a potential civil manner down the line,” Triessl said.

The Hollywood Bowl may not be off the hook either.

Despite confiscating patrons’ cell phones ahead of the show, the security team somehow missed a replica gun that contained a knife blade.

“The Hollywood Bowl or the promoters involved in this show, including Netflix, may be facing civil liability for their lapse of security. Something went very wrong here,” Triessl said.

You think a jury will find against Chappelle, when they see the person attacked him? I find that hard to believe.

I don’t see how his opinion could lead to a lawsuit. Of course, nowadays anybody can file a nuisance lawsuit.

If such a case is filed, I doubt it will go to a jury. More likley to be settled.

Unless he staged it, then what basis?

This is asinine. You rush the stage and lunge at performer with a knife, and then you get to sue performer when his security staff breaks your arm? Seriously?

And how is it relevant that Chapelle took pleasure in the arm-breaking after the fact? So what?

I know business owners who were angry that their insurance settled with nuisance suits that had no chance of winning. But this seems extreme.

I am not a lawyer, but I wonder if he could have a suit against them. Because if they make a settlement, they are incentivizing people attacking him. Why wouldn't other people attack him, if they know they can get money from him?

The DA has already stated that the attacker will NOT be charged with a felony.
