Chet frames this as a necessary confrontation to correct the record regarding Eric's past comments about his behavior on set and his accent.
Insiders say Eric looked genuinely confused and bewildered by the ambush, while Chet seemed more interested in performing his outrage for the cameras than resolving anything.
Video shows Chet grabbing Eric by the shoulder at ComplexCon LA; Eric shouted about Tom Hanks while leaving with security. Chet's caption claims Eric has 'NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER' of trashing him.
Chet Hanks proves that holding a grudge is a lifestyle choice, turning a convention floor into his personal stage for revenge.
If you thought Chet Hanks was done seeking validation through conflict, you were dead wrong. Over the weekend at ComplexCon in Los Angeles, Chet decided that walking past comedian Eric Andre wasn't enough; he needed to physically intercept him. Video footage obtained by TMZ shows Chet marching up to Eric and grabbing him by the shoulder, initiating a heated exchange that had onlookers freezing in their tracks.
While Eric initially appeared happy to see him—or perhaps just skilled at masking his discomfort with a polite smile—the vibe shifted instantly. Chet wasn't there for a nostalgic chat about their past collaboration; he was there to settle a score that clearly never got paid in full. The interaction quickly devolved into a one-sided dressing-down.
Chet, visibly agitated, called Eric out on the spot, while the comedian looked utterly confused by the ambush. It’s a classic power move: cornering someone in public where they can’t easily walk away without looking rude. According to Chet’s own social media caption, the root of the issue is Eric’s alleged amnesia regarding his past insults.
Chet claims Eric told him he has "NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER" of trashing Chet to the media previously. To Chet, this isn't just forgetfulness; it's a slight that demands a public correction, delivered with maximum theatricality. For those who haven't been keeping up with this bizarre saga, the beef stems from Chet’s appearance on "The Eric Andre Show." Back then, Eric didn't hold back, describing Chet’s behavior on set as "dangerous" and claiming he had "broke" the crew.
Chet fired back at the time, insisting he was merely matching the show’s chaotic energy and accusing Eric of being jealous because Chet "outshined" him. It’s a petty, ego-driven feud that has simmered in the background for years, but Chet has finally decided to bring it to the forefront, regardless of the setting or the audience. The climax of the encounter was pure chaos.
As the argument peaked, Eric eventually disengaged, walking off surrounded by his security team. Before disappearing, Eric yelled something about Tom Hanks, a final jab that likely sent Chet into a frenzy of laughter with his friends. Chet hung back, clearly enjoying the spectacle he had created.
This wasn't a resolution; it was a reminder. Chet made sure everyone at ComplexCon knew that while Eric Andre might try to move on, Chet Hanks is still very much present, watching, and waiting for the next opportunity to grab a shoulder and force a conversation no one else wanted to hear.
