Redd explaind to SiriusXM's 'The Bennington Show' why he thought the assault outside of NYC's Comedy Cellar in October was 'a planned situation.'

On October 26, comedian Chris Redd was on his way to the Comedy Cellar in Manhattan when an attacker punched him in the face and then fled. Redd was taken to a hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.

On Tuesday, Redd revealed on SiriusXM's The Bennington Show he believes the attack was premeditated.


Redd shared he viewed security footage in which his assailant was shown hanging out in the area for an hour before the attack.

"People called it a random attack. I don't believe that."
"He waited for me for an hour before I got there."
"He was on the phone. He had a lookout dude and everything."
"All I'm saying is this: I've never done nothing random where it took me an hour to do it."
"I would say it was a planned situation."
"That's what I feel in my heart."

Redd also joked:

"I'll probably release the footage and do like a voiceover thing."

He also shared—on a positive note—the attack gave him some free press.

"No promotion was better than getting knocked in the f**king face."
"People didn't even know I had a special out and they were like, 'Aw, hope he's okay! What, special?'"
"It did wonders for me."

Unfortunately, Redd also shared the investigation has been unsuccessful.

"The cold case got lukewarm real quick."
"The cops were confident."
"The first week, they were like, 'We're gonna find this man. We're gonna lock him up'."

As time went on, however, the police slowly lost confidence.

Redd said that he was "ghosted" the last time he texted the police for an update.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
