Comedian Dave Chappelle addressed his previously reported comments about the Israel-Hamas conflict during a show in North Carolina on Wednesday and said the comments were all "hearsay."
"Right now, I’m in trouble because the Jewish community is upset," Chappelle said at his North Carolina show, according to the New York Times. "But I cannot express this enough: No matter what you read about that show in Boston, you will never see quotation marks around anything I said. They don’t know what I said."
He added that it was all "hearsay," the Times reported.
