Go With The Flo
By Flo Anthony
Just in case you missed this
piece of news, Dave Chappelle
is facing backlash after making
anti-trans and LGBTQIA
statements in his new comedy
special “The Closer.”
On Oct. 11, Netflix CEO
Ted Sarandos, who is married
to Nicole Avant, the daughter
of the Godfather of Black Hollywood,
Clarence Avant, broke
his silence on the backlash.
Sarandos wrote in a memo,
“Chappelle is one of the most
popular stand-up comedian
today, and we have a long
standing deal with him.
His last special Sticks &
Stones, also controversial,
is our most watched, slickest
and most award winning
stand up special to date.” In
other words, “The Closer “is
not going anywhere!
