More than one month after Chris Redd’s violent assault, the comic is providing HIS tackle what occurred…
If you hadn’t heard prior to now, the Saturday Night Live forged member was standing round speaking exterior of the Comedy Cellar in NYC in late October forward of a scheduled stand-up set when somebody struck him within the face “out of nowhere.”

Now, he’s giving his OWN enter on the blur of an evening. While showing on SiriusXM’s The Bennington Show this week, the 37-year-old informed host Ron Bennington he believes the assault was something however a “random” act of violence, explaining:
“That’s the thing. People called it a random attack. I don’t believe that. I watched the footage. He waited for me an hour before I got there. He was on the phone, he had a lookout dude and everything. All I’m saying is this: I’ve never done nothing random where it took me an hour to do it. I’ve never just randomly did a thing that took a build up. That’s not what random is. So I’m going to say, it was a planned situation. That’s what I feel in my heart and soul. That’s what I saw on the footage.”
We can’t assist however agree with him… We imply, if somebody’s standing round exterior of a comedy membership in late October in New York — the place it will get FRIGID, to say the least — they probably have an intention. The star mentioned he’ll “probably release the footage and do a voiceover thing” finally, jokingly declaring the optimistic impression the entire scenario had on his profession. He added:
“I don’t know what their plan was, if they were planning to take me out, because no promotion was better than getting knocked in the f**king face. Bro, people didn’t even know I had a special out… It did wonders for me.”
Hey, gotta snort to maintain from crying, proper? As for the place the incident stands from a legislation enforcement perspective, the Kenan actor revealed “the cold case got lukewarm real quick”:
“They have footage of him… The cops were confident at first. The first week they were like, ‘We’re gonna find this man. We’re gonna lock him up.’ And then the second week they were like, ‘We’re getting real close. We’re gonna lock him up. We just gotta get his face. He walked a couple blocks and we’re following him through cameras.’”
And the newest replace? Well, there sorta isn’t one… Redd regretfully defined:
“Last week he was like, ‘I don’t know, man.’ And then I texted him this week, he ghosted me! I got ghosted by the Chief of Police.”
Not an important search for New York’s best…

The massive query is, assuming this was deliberate — who would need to damage Chris Redd? He’s hilarious and everybody likes him. The solely controversy he’s been connected to that we all know if is his relationship with Christina Evangeline — the estranged spouse of his SNL and Kenan co-star Kenan Thompson. But sources on the time reassured there was no overlap there. So even that wasn’t such a giant deal. We marvel if Chris has any concepts…
See the total interview (under):
The Disjointed star beforehand opened up concerning the adrenaline-inducing occasion on The Last Laugh podcast in early November, recalling:
“As I put my phone in my pocket and continued to walk up to the Cellar, as I always do, this man hit me in the face with something – metal. I thought it was brass knuckles because of the way it cut my nose to the bone. I’ve been boxing for years. I’ve taken a punch to the face before, so it wasn’t terrifying, but what was worrisome is how much blood was coming out of my face.”
He added on the time:
“He hit me and he was gone. I was gushing blood so I couldn’t look around. It wasn’t really about the pain at that point. It was so much blood.”
Scary stuff, however we’re simply glad he’s okay — and in true comic type, even JOKING about it. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Do YOU assume it was a focused assault? Let us know within the feedback down under!
