Dave Chappelle is open to talking to the Netflix employees who are offended by his jokes on The Closer, his newest comedy special on the streaming platform. The comedian's rep reportedly told TMZ that he would be willing to have a discussion about the LGBTQ+ jokes if Netflix reaches out to him. However, Chappelle’s team said that no one from the company has spoken to him about setting up a conversation or meeting — which is contrary to what Ashlee Marie Preston, the woman who organized the Netflix walkout, alleged.
Preston previously said that she invited Chappelle to talk about the harm she and other people believe he caused to the LGBTQ+ community, but said, “Dave chose not to show up.”
