Also I don't understand the hate. This WAS at his earliest career. People are bringing up this, and the fact that he wore a dress on Robin Hood: Men in tights movie as some sort of "gotcha" thing. Dave was on the come up during the late 90s. He knew he was funnier than putting on a dress, that's why he said no when the producers tried to force him to put one on.
Eddie Murphy was a big star after Beverly Hills Cop and Raw, why did he need to wear dresses?
Martin Lawrence was a big star after Def Jam Comedy and his own show, why did he need to wear a dress?
Will Smith was a big star after TFPOBA and a Grammy, he did he need to kiss a man in a movie and wear a dress in another one?
Conspiracy theories aside, cross dressing humor is a one trick pony and its outdated.
