Looks like comedian Donnell Rawlings, best known for his role on Chappelle’s Show is in a bit of trouble after a run-in with an overanxious fan over the weekend.
According to TMZ, Rawlings hit a fan, named Thurston Greer in SoHo late Friday as he anxious tried to get a photo with Dave Chappelle.
Greer tells us he ran into Dave Chappelle walking out of the hotel bathroom and asked for a pic … but Dave declined. Greer claims he then went outside the hotel and began recording a Facebook Live video to tell friends what had just gone down. He says Donnell, Chappelle and a security guard walked out of the hotel, saw him and got angry, thinking he was persisting to get a photo.
Greer says he scuffled with Rawlings and security after they tried taking his phone, and that’s when he got punched.
Chappelle’s not listed in the police report, but cops want to talk to Donnell. Greer tells us he’s already met with an attorney and is considering legal options.
Maybe this is just a bad case of when keeping it real goes wrong. We’ll update you as more information becomes available.
