Dave Chappelle Walk-Outs in Boston Over Israel Comments
Dave Chappelle's comments on Israel-Palestine caused some attendees of a recent comedy show of his to walk out -- and it's because he said Israel is in the wrong in this conflict.
The comedian made the inflammatory remarks Thursday during a show in Boston -- where cell phones were confiscated -- and according to the Wall Street Journal ... he got into the Middle East topic toward the end of his set, where he seemed to mostly side with Palestine.
Per people who were apparently in attendance, DC launched in on this by first saying students who are publicly supporting Palestine shouldn't lose job offers -- which has been a thing lately -- which then led him to fully address the fighting going on overseas.
He reportedly condemned the terrorist attack on Israel that was carried out by Hamas, but then said the response/retaliation to Palestinians in Gaza has been disproportionate -- accusing Israel of committing war crimes with their bombing campaign ... and even claiming the U.S. was responsible for aiding and abetting "the slaughter of innocent civilians."
Amid these remarks, somebody in the audience told him to shut it ... which apparently ticked him off and caused him to lash out -- although what exactly he said isn't clear.
What WSJ says was communicated, generally, though was that Dave was angry about Israel cutting off water and electricity to Gaza ... while continuing to pound them with explosives.
As a result of this, it divided the audience ... some cheered "Free Palestine" and others pushed back with questions about Hamas. Eventually, some people straight up got up and left. Dave, meanwhile, supposedly ended by saying that two wrongs don't make a right.
Worth noting ... Dave's Muslim, which could be playing into this. And of course, this is far from the first time he's landed in controversy. His team's denying he was there ... but he was.

'SNL' Bad Bunny Hosts, Performs ... With Assists from Mick Jagger, Pedro Pascal and Lady Gaga!!!
Bad Bunny took over 'SNL' Saturday night in a big way, hosting AND performing as the musical guest, with lots of celeb firepower behind him.
His opening monologue was hilarious ... Pedro Pascal served as a "translator" for BB, who, true to form, delivered his monologue en Español. Bad Bunny has said repeatedly, he does not pander to English audiences. He says he thinks in Spanish, eats in Spanish and sings in Spanish.
Pretty funny ... Pedro asked Bad Bunny to show an embarrassing pic of him but BB replied, "Nothing could be found."
And then there were surprise guests ... huge guests, as in Lady Gaga and Mick Jagger. Mick hasn't appeared on the show since 2012. Again, pretty funny -- Bunny and 'SNL's Marcello Hernandez are in an emotional Spanish-language soap. Mick ends up backhanding Bunny and Marcello.

Bad Bunny brought his GF, Kendall Jenner, to 'SNL' .... she didn't appear on the show, but they were super tight during the after-party.
BB, Kendall and the cast, along with guest stars Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga, all hit up L'Avenue in NYC after the show.
Bad Bunny and Kendall were dressed casually... she was wearing a leather jacket and boots as they walked hand in hand into the bash.
Gaga's entrance was revelatory. She was also hand in hand with her ex, Michael Polansky. The 2 have been spotted together recently but it seems pretty clear ... they're giving it another try.
Bad Bunny was pretty hilarious on the show hosting and performing .... he was also the featured musical act.

Marlon Wayans I Was Racially Targeted By United Agent ... Wants Citation Tossed
Marlon Wayans says he should have never been hit with a citation for disturbing the peace at an airport earlier this year ... claiming it should be thrown out because his reaction was justified after being racially targeted.
The comedian's attorney filed to dismiss the case Thursday, saying the United Airlines agent at the Denver airport targeted him back in June based on his race.
Remember, Marlon wasn't allowed to board his flight to Kansas City with 3 bags, and was removed from the aircraft after getting into it with the agent while trying to consolidate to 2 bags.
His attorney also said several white passengers with 3 bags were allowed to board the plane while his client was receiving the heat.
Marlon was hit with a citation for disturbing the peace ... but his attorney says Denver prosecutors would be turning a blind eye to blatant racial targeting if they don't dismiss the case.
6/12/23
Marlon joined us on "TMZ Live" just days after the incident, breaking down what happened from his perspective -- and telling us the company did reach out to him, but only to back their own policy.
BTW, Marlon spoke with us outside a Delta terminal -- and he told us exactly why he'll try to fly with them instead of United from now on.

Woman Gets Revenge Spends 15 Years Trolling Man ... Breaks Off Engagement After He Spit On Her Friend!
A woman says she spent 15 years getting payback from a man who spit on her friend long, long ago ... doing everything from spoiling shows to torpedoing his wedding.
TikToker Linda Solley Hurd says it all started a decade and a half ago at a comedy show, where one of her friends accidentally spilled a drink on the guy -- claiming he called her a "stupid fat b****" and spit on her for additional bad measure.
Linda was out for revenge! She found his Facebook page ... and after some digging, discovered his favorite shows were "The Walking Dead" and "Breaking Bad" -- 2 shows that you'd never want spoiled, right?
She decided to torture the dude by creating fake accounts and spamming him with spoilers as soon as each episode would drop.
It didn't stop with the Rick Grimes & Walter White rage ... she says she ended up in the same class as him not long after, getting more info on him and doing even MORE trolling.
Linda says she backed off for around 8 years ... but then learned the guy got engaged to a friend of a friend of hers, so she came out of trolling retirement for more revenge.
She gave the guy's fiancee the tea on what he had done to her friend, and apparently, that was enough for her to pull the plug on the wedding.
It's enough to make you stop drinking.

Michael Jordan got the red carpet rolled out for him at Usher's show over the weekend ... getting prime seats, a shoutout during the concert -- and even a sexy dance from Tiffany Haddish!!!
His Airness pulled up to the "Let It Burn" crooner's performance at Park MGM in Las Vegas on Saturday ... and almost immediately, king treatment commenced.
Jordan, his wife and a couple other friends were walked to some chairs in a VIP area that seemed to feature bottle service.
Then, as Usher was singing, Haddish cruised over to Jordan's group to give the NBA legend a show of her own ... gyrating in front of the former Chicago Bulls star -- while he clapped and laughed.
Usher himself then made sure Jordan felt special in the audience ... pausing his whole act to acknowledge that the hooper was in attendance.
"We love you, Mike," he screamed as everyone went crazy.
Of course, the conduct toward MJ shouldn't surprise anyone ... after all, he's the NBA's G.O.A.T. -- and he and Usher are longtime pals.
In fact, they famously collaborated to make an ultra-rare version of one of Jordan's signature shoes back in 2014 -- kicks that Usher actually broke out during Saturday's show.
"I'm putting them on because I want to be like Mike!" Usher said.
The fun evening comes just a few days after it was revealed Jordan is now one of the 400 richest people in America ... proving yet again, MJ just doesn't lose.

Pete Davidson on 'SNL' I Understand the Terrorist Attack in Israel ... My Dad Died in One
Pete Davidson delivered a truly heartfelt display of his feelings about the war in Israel during the cold open of the show, and he has a rare perspective that makes everything he said compelling.
Pete, at first he was a good person to talk about the inhumane Hamas terrorist attack and the ensuing war. As you know, Pete's dad, a NYC firefighter, died during 9/11 when Pete was only 7, so he knows what a terrorist attack can do on the surviving family, especially kids.
His heart breaks for all the death of innocent people, especially both Israeli and Palestinian children. He told the audience, no one deserves to suffer like this, especially kids.
He goes on to say his heart breaks for everyone whose lives were destroyed.
His opening monologue was raunchy. Pete says he and his sister have nothing in common, so they decided to bond by watching "Game of Thrones," and the whole incest thing came up which made things super uncomfortable! And then he gets even wilder.
He was super good ... especially in the cold open.
As we told you, both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made cameos on the show and hit the town hand-in-hand.
They chowed down at Nobu in NYC before the show.
After the show was wrapped, they joined the cast for an after-party at Catch Steak.
PETE DAVIDSON EN "SNL" empatizo con la gente en israel Mi padre murió a manos del terrorismo
Pete Davidson dijo unas palabras muy sentidas acerca de la guerra en Israel durante el show y tiene una perspectiva poco común que hace que todo lo que dijo sea convincente.
Pete era el indicado para hablar sobre el inhumano ataque terrorista de Hamás y la guerra posterior. Por si no lo sabías, el padre de Pete era bombero de Nueva York y murió durante el 11-S cuando Pete solo tenía 7 años, así que sabe muy bien lo que un ataque terrorista puede causar, especialmente a los niños.
Su corazón se rompe por todas las muertes de inocentes, especialmente de niños israelíes y palestinos. Dijo al público que nadie merece sufrir así, especialmente los niños.
Continúa diciendo que su corazón se rompe por todas las vidas destruidas.
Su monólogo inicial fue intenso. Pete dijo que él y su hermana no tienen nada en común, así que decidieron unirse como familia viendo "Juego de Tronos". La famosa serie sirvió de trampolín para bromear con el incesto generando un momento incómodo. Sin embargo, las cosas se pusieron aún más salvajes.
Como informamos, tanto Taylor Swift como Travis Kelce hicieron cameos en el programa y llegaron a la ciudad de la mano.
Comieron en Nobu (Nueva York) antes del show.
Después de que el show terminó, se unieron al elenco para un afterparty en Catch Steak.
TRACY MORGAN LAMBORGHINI GOLPEADO DE COSTADO ... ¡¡¡Más mala suerte de los automóviles exóticos!!!

Aquí está el Lamborghini Aventador SVJ de Tracy Morgan viajando por la interestatal ... ¡el problema es que el automóvil supercostoso está viajando sobre la plataforma de una grúa después de sufrir un caro golpe!
TMZ obtuvo fotografías del Lamborghini 2020 de Tracy siendo remolcado en la Ciudad de Nueva York ... y como pueden ver, en el lado izquierdo del vehículo deportivo se pueden ver unos rayones blancos que NO son marcas de rayas deportivas.
Parece que otro conductor le dio un golpe de costado o Tracy raspó algo - de cualquier forma, no será barato arreglar ese trabajo de pintura.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Las fotografías fueron tomadas el pasado domingo y Tracy fue visto conduciendo el vehículo con un valor de 500 000 dólares durante el fin de semana en la Gran Manzana ... por lo que el daño es reciente.
Es más mala suerte para la costosa colección de automóviles costosos de Tracy ... como lo informamos por primera vez, en 2019 estrelló su nuevo Bugatti tan solo minutos después de sacar el látigo de 2 millones de dólares de una sala de exhibición de la Ciudad de Nueva York.
JUNE 2019
Las reparaciones del Bugatti de Tracy ascendieron a 32 000 dólares para arreglar el parachoques y el guardabarros ... y es muy probable que las reparaciones del Lamborghini asciendan a otras 5 cifras.
April 2020
Tracy tuvo más problemas con su Lamborghini en abril de 2020 ... entablando un acalorado altercado con un peatón después de un presunto choque.
Ah, los inconvenientes de conducir automóviles exóticos supercostosos en las malvadas calles de Nueva York. ¡¡¡Un gran inconveniente con el cual lidiar!!!

Here's Tracy Morgan's Lamborghini Aventador SVJ traveling down the interstate ... problem is, the super expensive ride's cruising on a flatbed tow truck after sustaining a very expensive ding!
TMZ obtained photos of Tracy's 2020 Lambo getting towed in New York City ... and as you can see, it the left side of the sportscar has some white streaks that are NOT racing stripes.
It appears another driver sideswiped it, or Tracy scraped something -- either way, it won't be cheap to fix that paint job.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The photos were snapped last Sunday and Tracy was spotted driving the $500,000 car over the weekend in the Big Apple ... so the damage is fresh.
It's more bad luck for Tracy's expensive car collection ... as we first reported, back in 2019 he crashed his brand new Bugatti only minutes after driving the $2 million whip out of a NYC showroom.
JUNE 2019
Tracy's Bugatti repairs ran upwards of $32,000 to fix the bumper and the fender ... and it's a good bet the Lambo repairs will be another 5-figure tab.
April 2020
Tracy had more trouble with his Lambo in April 2020 ... getting into a heated conversation with a pedestrian after an alleged collision.
Ah, the pitfalls of driving super expensive exotic cars on the mean streets of New York. Great problem to have!!!

Ja Rule Drake, Khaled Not Political Pundits ... Give 'Em Time to Address Israel-Hamas
-
Exclusive
- 116 shares
Ja Rule thinks Drake and DJ Khaled deserve a pass, or at least time before they make any public comments about the war between Israel and Hamas ... and that's IF they want to say anything at all.
This is only an issue because DJ Vlad, who is Jewish, called out Drake for being the world's most famous Jewish person, and Khaled for being the most recognizable Palestinian. Both men have been silent on the conflict in which Hamas terrorists have reportedly beheaded babies and raped women, massacred more than 1,000 people and taken more than 200 hostages.
Ja tells TMZ Hip Hop he feels the criticism of Khaled and Drake is a bit unfair ... as some artists make the decision to stay away from anything that even hints at politics.
He also notes people -- celebs and entertainers alike -- need time to digest breaking news in order to react with real knowledge, and they deserve the time to do so without facing the public's wrath.
The "Always On Time" rapper was back home in NYC for the Pencils of Promise Gala Tuesday evening and offered up some words about the human condition and the need for peace.

SHERRI SHEPHERD ¡¡¡BARBARA WALTERS ADORABA VER A RICHARD PRYOR!!! Comparte secreto flechazo
Es verdad ... ¡Barbara Walters "amaba a un hermano" y no a cualquier hombre negro, de acuerdo con Sherri Shepherd, la creadora de "The View" se enganchó con Richard Pryor!
La revelación se realizó en el episodio del miércoles de "Sherri", cuando se reunió con Joy Behar y discutieron algunas historias de su tiempo juntas en "The View", particularmente cuando Sherri se enteró de la vieja aventura de Barbara con Richard.
Sherri dice que el gran cómico Paul Mooney le dijo, en su momento, que había visto a Barbara y Richard haciendo el amor. Sherri admite que no podía esperar para compartir su jugoso chisme con Joy, pero le pidió que lo mantuviera en secreto.
Como se pueden imaginar, eso no sucedió. Tienen que ver a Sherri describir el momento en que terminaron confrontando a Barbara Walters sobre sus "relaciones" con Richard.
El hecho es que Barbara parecía tener un tipo. En sus memorias, admitió haber tenido una aventura, en los años 70, con el senador Edward Brooke de Massachusett, y tanto Joy como Sherri recordaron cómo a Barbara le ENCANTÓ arrimarse a Colin Powell cada vez que era un invitado de The 'View'.
¿Quién iba a decir que Barbara estaba tan deprimida?
Sherri Shepherd Barbara Walters Loved View of Richard Pryor!!! Shares Hook-Up Secret
It's true, true ... Barbara Walters "loved a brother," and not just any Black man -- according to Sherri Shepherd "The View" creator hooked up with Richard Pryor!
The story comes up on Wednesday's episode of "Sherri," as she reunites with Joy Behar, and they discuss some stories from their time together at "The View" -- one in particular about when Sherri caught wind of Barbara's old tryst with Richard.
Sherri says the late comedic great Paul Mooney told her, back in the day, he'd walked in on Barbara and Richard doing the deed. Sherri admits she couldn't wait to share her juicy gossip with Joy, but asked her to keep it on the DL.
As you can imagine, that didn't happen -- you gotta see Sherri describe the moment they ended up confronting BW about her Richard "relations."
Fact is, Barbara did seem to have a type. In her memoir, she copped to having an affair, back in the '70s, with Sen. Edward Brooke from Massachusetts -- and both Joy and Sherri recalled how Barbara LOVED cozying up to Colin Powell whenever he was a 'View' guest.
Who knew Barbara was so down?!?
