American comedian and actor (born 1973)


Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special, The Closer, sparked significant backlash for what many have called transphobic content, leading to criticism from the LGBTQ community and internal protests at Netflix. CEO Ted Sarandos defended the special, arguing it didn't incite harm. Critics claim Chappelle's jokes perpetuate violence, while some, including the family of trans comedian Daphne Dorman, support him.
