Dave Chappelle flipped out on a fan who approached his table at a hotel restaurant without a mask on.
Cellphone footage released by Dailymail.com shows the comedian, who requires masks at his comedy shows, chastising a female fan who approached him and a group of friends at the Four Seasons hotel in Austin, Texas.
Chappelle was in town doing “socially-distant” live shows on November 16, 17, and 18.
The video was taken by part-time actor Chad Laboy, who says a friend approached Chappelle without wearing a mask. Laboy stated, “My friend didn’t have her mask on when she walked over to his table and rightly so, they chastised her for it.”
He continued, “She apologized and offered to put her mask on, but continued to get berated. No one at their table was wearing a mask, but the group was extremely rude, saying things like, ‘we don’t know you’, ‘get the f**k away’, and began calling her names.”
Laboy pointed out that Chappelle and his crew weren’t wearing masks either. Laboy added that Chappelle was trying to deescalate the situation, which was shown in the video, but he says that Chappelle’s friends continued to be aggressive, including one man who shoved him and tried to snatch his phone.
Laboy says Chappelle and his group of friends later confronted them at their table and Chappelle told him, “You a bi**h a** n****a.” The Austin PD arrived, and after hearing Laboy’s side of the story, they gave them all a “trespass warning for a full year and we could not return to the hotel during that time or we would be arrested.”
