Chris Redd has recently opened up about a troubling assault incident that took place back in 2022 outside the Comedy Store in NYC, causing quite the stir among fans and circles close to‘SNL.’In a move that might raise some eyebrows, Redd has explicitly ruled out his former friend and co-star, Kenan Thompson, as a suspect in the incident, despite rumors suggesting otherwise. Clarifying the situation, Redd emphasized that Thompson did not hit him, stating, “No, Kenan did not hit me. People took it like Kenan hit me.”
The backdrop to Redd’s assault is a complicated web of friendship and tension between him and Thompson, fueled by Redd’s romantic connection to Thompson’s ex-wife, Christina Evangeline. Their friendship, once collaborative on‘SNL,’took a turning point that few could have anticipated. But the drama doesn’t end there; Redd has also been candid about his past struggles with substance abuse, revealing he had even sold pills to fellow cast members during his time on the show. It’s a shocking reminder that behind the laughter, reality can be far more complex than any sketch comedy. Could this saga inspire more candid discussions about friendship and personal struggles in the entertainment industry?
