Time magazine has an exclusive interview with the comedian. To summarize:
- Dave Chappelle is staying at a friend's house in South Africa, not a mental facility.
- He is not on drugs.
- He was overwhelmed by the new contract and responsibility at Comedy Central.
- He doesn't blame Comedy Central but blames his own doubts and his inner circle who gave him bad advice and started to act differently.
- He will get back to the show as soon as he can work things out.
Now, can we leave the poor guy alone and let him figure things out?
