Dave Chappelle said he actually spoke to his alleged Hollywood Bowl attacker backstage after Tuesday’s attack — and the wannabe rapper gave a rambling reason for why he did it, a report said. The famous comic told the crowd at a secret comedy show in Los Angeles Thursday night that he convinced security to let him approach Isaiah Lee, 23, before he was hauled away by cops, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “I needed to talk to him,” the 48-year-old told the crowd.
