Yeah, I heard stories like that from friends and have read contracts ever since. They really pressure you to take it, and have no problems with tearing your name down to the mud to get what they want. When he talked about how they said he was on drugs and had a mental problem after he walked away, I recognized the story pretty well.
Every time a famous person has their contract up for renewal, tons of dirt pops up about them. Chapelle admits he shouldn't have signed the contract. Now he's using his fame to undo that contract. That is something a few people can actually do, and he's being very honest about it.
It's a deal with the devil, and I don't even mean that rhetorically.
Heck, most of the time the contract is so long and filled with barely comprehensible legalese that even if you try to read it you aren't safe.
They are designed from the top down to trick you and make sure any and all consequences that may arise fall back on you, so they deserve no benefit of the doubt.
