Dave Chappelle -- I'm So F**king Tired, Bitch!

TMZ has confirmed Dave Chappelle went to the hospital this past weekend because he was wacked out. But Chappelle's rep told TMZ any wackiness was due to exhaustion -- not drugs.
Click to hear!
The rep says Dave went to the emergency room for "physical exhaustion." She says he was treated with "food, water and sleep" for about 12 hours and then went home.

Callers to a DC 101's Elliot in the Morning radio show this morning reported that Chappelle entered rehab over the weekend. Not so, his rep tells TMZ.

31. He has no TV schedule to blame it on, THIS TIME. It's drugs, pure and simple.

32. Excuse me, but why is he so tired? Has he really been doing anything? Who cares about him anymore anyway. He hasn't made me laugh for two years.

34. We love you Dave, get well soon. Going from rags to riches and no one to stardom can do a doozy on you. Hang in there.

35. It doesn't matter if he's talented. Elvis, John Belushi, Chris Farley, River Phoenix were all talented. They DIED because they were drug addicts also. Chapelle's latest cover story isn't fooling anyone but himself.

41. #28 Stop the Madness

Thank you for pointing out my ONE spelling error

My comment about Elite Black People in the industry taking him off the air---, Let's just say he's not on the air right??? He had a 50 million dollar deal, and he just flipped out over night???

Maybe I know something you don't and if you weren't so RUDE, I might think you're worth sharing it with? But your not

By the way pick one drug--- do I smoke Weed or do I smoke crack, it's clear to me that your A LITTLE TOO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS, and I'VE EFFECTED YOU IN SOME WAY.

LITTLE WEIRD DON'T YOU THINK---TAKE HEED TO YOUR NAME.

42. I like Dave enormously but he is as troubled as Freddy Prinze, in that he can't cope with fame. Same with Farley, Blushi, Candy............

43. Can't he get "food, water and rest" at home? He's got enuf $ to get away from it all yet he 'chose' to go to the hospital.....suspect as a mugg!! Needed Doctors on call just in case, uh-huh.

44. The whole world ain't on drugs. Just 7/8's of it. Dave Chappell ain't a drug addict. If Dave was a drug addict he'd be making big jokes about it. Celebrities don't have to hide being addicts.
If anything I think Dave suffers possibly from some form of common mental illness such as anxiety or depression. And from time to time the stress of his public life gets to be too much for him and he wants to run away. As for food, water, and rest at a hospital. Sounds like dehydration which is more common than we think. Dave ain't a doper. The box don't fit everybody.

45. #38 ... thanks for piping in. Nice to hear from someone that may actually have personal contact. Seems like a troubled person who needs some true care. I'll be the last person to judge. Get well soon Dave whatever your problems are.
