CNN
Netflix head Ted Sarandos has reiterated his support for Dave Chappelle and the comic's controversial stand-up special, "The Closer" in an email to company staff.
In the email dated Monday and obtained by Variety, the co-chief executive officer responded to the backlash by writing, "We know that a number of you have been left angry, disappointed and hurt by our decision to put Dave Chappelle's latest special on Netflix."
"The Closer," which debuted on Netflix last week, has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates, artists and Netflix employees for Chappelle's remarks and jokes about the trans community.
