Central Exit
Explained
( AP) — Dave Chappelle says in
a new interview that he had several
reasons fo r w alking away from his
cult-fave “ Chappelle's Show” - and
adeal worth more than $50 m illio n .
His decision to leave the C om ­
edy Central series last M ay led fans
and industry executives to ques­
tion his motives, and his sanity.
But in a 10-page spread in the
current issue o f Esquire magazine,
he says he closed “Chappelle” fo r
reasons cultural, professional and
personal.
C u lt u r a lly :
“ T h e b o tto m
line was, w hite
people own ev­
e ry th in g , and
w h e re can a
black person go D ave C h a p pe lle
and be h im se lf o r say something
that’ s fa m ilia r to him and not have
to explain or apologize?"
Professionally: “ I felt like I was
really pressured to settle fo r some­
thing that I d id n 't necessarily feel
like I wanted.”
Personally: “ The thing about
show business is that, in a way, it
forces dysfunctional relationships
in people."
