https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/3478408-howie-mandel-says-hes-afraid-to-go-onstage-after-attack-on-chappelle/ Howie Mandel says hes afraid to go onstage following the attack on comedian Dave Chappelle. Every comedian that hit, no pun intended that hit very deeply, the Americas Got Talent judge told Extras Billy Bush in a Wednesday interview. Mandels comments came a day after an audience member authorities said armed with a replica gun equipped with a knife blade tackled Chappelle as the standup comic performed at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The 48-year-old comedian was reportedly not injured. The incident occurred weeks after King Richard star Will Smith made headlines at the Oscars in March, when he took to the stage and slapped Chris Rock while objecting to a joke the comedian made about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. My biggest fear 40 years ago was not getting a laugh, was somebody not liking what I said, was maybe somebody being offended and confronting me outside going, You know that joke was really offensive, Mandel, 66, said. Then cancel culture came along, and it was like, oh my God, if somebody doesnt like your joke or you overstepped the line, you could lose your career, he continued. And then, after the Academy Awards, I said violence triggers violence, Mandel said of Smith striking Rock. And this is one step that kind of opens the door and triggers somebody, that if they dont like what youre saying or are offended by what youre saying now its kind of OK because its been done to be violent. And thats what my fear was. Watching social media videos of what happened to Chappelle, Mandel said, confirmed his fear. I turned to my wife and I said, I dont want to go on stage. Im afraid. Noting that hes a guy who lives with worry anyway and has been open about his mental health challenges with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression, Mandel said he didnt sleep for two nights following the Oscars. Comedians, he said, are just trying to make people smile. Were trying to make people laugh. This is the opposite of violence. The issue, Mandel said, is about mental health and people not getting the help they need. Anybody who is jumping onstage hitting somebody, anybody who is pulling a gun out in public, anyone who is violent in public, Mandel said, I promise you there are red flags before that moment and those red flags are not being taken care of. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 ...
