Chappelle, 50, kept it casual in cargo pants, a burgundy T-shirt, and white trainers. Meanwhile, his wife of 23 years dressed comfortably for the warm weather in a gray tank top and a skirt with a drawstring waist, paired with white trainers and a black crossbody bag.
The comedian, known for his former show “Chappelle’s Show,” was also seen smoking a cigarette as he walked down the street. The couple’s New York City outing comes after Chappelle’s recent performance in Abu Dhabi, where he made controversial comments accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.
Dave Chappelle and his wife, Elaine, were spotted during a rare public outing in New York City, dining at the celebrity hotspot Sadelle’s.
Chappelle opted for a casual look with cargo pants, a burgundy T-shirt, and white trainers. His wife, Elaine, wore a gray tank top and a matching skirt, paired with white trainers.
During his performance in Abu Dhabi last month, Chappelle shared his thoughts on the Israel-Palestine conflict, stating that he believes Jewish people support Israel due to rising antisemitism. He went on to say that the Gaza Strip is facing a ‘genocide’ and suggested that making Jewish people feel safer in America could change their perspective on Israel’s role as a protector.
Chappelle’s comments have sparked criticism and controversy, with some accusing him of transphobia and insensitivity toward the disabled community. Despite this, he continues to be a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, known for his comedic routines and stand-up specials.
