AOL News - Chappelle Opens Up After Silence
AOL News - Chappelle Opens Up After Silence: "Feb. 3) -- Comedian Dave Chappelle said Friday he walked away from his hit cable TV show because he felt stressed out and manipulated but would return if more of the show's revenue can be given to deserving causes.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey billed as his first since he stunned the entertainment industry last April by abandoning 'Chappelle's Show' after signing a $50 million contract, Chappelle denied he was crazy, had been on drugs or spent time in an African psychiatric hospital.
Winfrey asked him if he had 'lost his mind' when he left the show, which was the top-rated attraction on the Comedy Central cable network.
'No, not exactly,' he said. 'When you're a person who makes money, they have a vested interest in controlling you.'"
