Dave Chappelle Forces Plane to Make Emergency Landing

By Audrey Morrison

Over the Fourth of July weekend comedian Dave Chappelle exercised his freedom -- his freedom to totally freak out.

A source close to the peculiar situation told TMZ that on Saturday Chappelle boarded a private jet in New Jersey that was headed to Ohio, where he resides. During the flight Dave’s behavior become so unpredictable that they had to make an emergency landing in Pittsburgh after he entered the cockpit to ask about their arrival time and allegedly grabbed the pilot’s arms.

According to TMZ’s source, after the plane was safely grounded Chappelle checked into a local hotel and inquired about a rental car. He supposedly told hotel employees he wanted to drive home to Ohio, but couldn’t remember exactly where his home was located.

Chappelle’s rep released a mini statement to defend his odd actions saying Dave ate something that didn’t quite agree with him and he needed a restroom.

Here’s where it gets weird…Dave’s rep goes on to say that the restroom on the plane was “not the kind he needed.”

What does that even mean?

From Dave’s erratic behavior to his rep’s bizarre explanation, it sounds like both of them are still up in the clouds.

But this isn’t the first time Dave Chappelle’s behavior has been a cause for concern.

The comedian-turned-TV star shocked the public after he abruptly left the country to travel to South Africa during production of the third season of his hit program “Chappelle's Show,” abandoning a $25 million deal in the process.

There were rumors of drug or psychiatric treatment, but Chappelle claimed he simply went there to reflect on his life.

Cinnie	I'm assuming he was tipped off that the aircraft in danger or the destination was risky.

I love Dave Chappelle, but he really is starting to seem like a paranoid schizophrenic.

nod That's true, seems like the better the comedian, the more personal demons they have.

Depending on the plane, the "facilities" on a private jet sometimes amount to nothing more than a potty chair with a curtain around it.

The jets the company I work for used to have had this kind of set-up. Trust me - whenever we flew on that thing, we stopped all liquids two hours before take-off and made sure we peed before we boarded. No one wanted to have to go to the bathroom with six other people knowing what you were doing behind the curtain.

And that was just for #1. If you got some bad food and had a bout of diarrhea? omfg

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

At least there is a lot of noise to cover up the other noise! lol

And grabbing the pilots arms is not the best way to avoid embarassing attention.
