A video shows Lisa, a long-time friend of the 28-year-old comedian, being taken out in handcuffs from his sold-out ProbleMATTic World Tour. Four NYPD officers escorted her. Lisa shouted to the cameraman, “I did nothing wrong. I did not touch my phone. I want to see Matt Rife because he’s a friend of mine.”

The 51-year-old retired star shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter) and captioned it: “This. Is. Not. A. Bit. Real life, I was arrested tonight @mattrife show at Radio City Music Hall #wtf.” In another post, she added: “So I was dragged out of @mattrife show tonight in handcuffs, stating I was using my phone. I had not used my phone. I was enjoying the show. Forty-five minutes in handcuffs sent to an ambulance, and released. Meanwhile, I missed the show I was so looking forward to.”

While there was no clear explanation for her arrest, Lisa hinted that it was related to using her phone during the show. Matt doesn’t have this policy, unlike many comedians who secure mobile devices in Yondr pouches to prevent video recording. However, he discourages people from taking photos or recording videos to avoid jokes being leaked on social media.

Fans of Lisa commented on the post, questioning the scenario and her support for Matt, who has faced controversy in the past year. One fan wrote, “That’s Rife! That’s what people say.” Another added: “I feel like anyone who willingly goes to a Matt Rife show deserves to be put in prison.” A third wrote: “That’s what you get for attending a Matt Rife show.”

This incident follows Matt’s recent backlash over a domestic violence joke in his Netflix special. In the episode, he joked about eating at a “ratchet” restaurant in Baltimore and noticing that their female server had a black eye. He remarked, “Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn’t have that black eye.” Despite the controversy, he doubled down, saying he was “just testing the waters, seeing if y’all are gonna be fun or not” and added: “I figure if we start the show with domestic violence, the rest of the show should be smooth sailing.”
