Netflix Workers Clash With Dave Chappelle Supporters Amid a Planned Employee Walkout
A Netflix employee walkout turned contentious on Wednesday as protesters and backers of transgender rights clashed with supporters of Dave Chappelle over the comedian’s recent Netflix special, Variety reported.
In a walk-out aimed at placing their support behind the transgender community, Netflix employees on Wednesday protested Chappelle’s “The Closer,” arguing that some of the comments he makes in the special are transphobic.
The stand-up comic in the special proclaims “Gender is a fact” and “I’m Team TERF!” — referring to trans-exclusionary radical feminists. He faced backlash immediately, and Netflix has found itself in further hot water for its defense of “The Closer.”
