Dave Chappelle snags RecordingAcad Grammy for controversial netflix comedy special dubbed 'transphobic'
The award was presented during the show's premiere ceremony, which is not broadcast on television. The official awards show began being broadcast at 8:00 p.m.
Netflix issued a statement following the walkout saying that the company appreciated the staffers' position on this issue, declined to remove the special. In a video response to backlash, Chapelle said he would be open to meeting with transgender employees at Netflix if they watch the special all the way through, allow him to choose the time and place, and admit that Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby is not funny. The Gadsby remark was a reference to the comments he made in the controversial special. The win has already elicited a response on social media.
Wow. Grammys really don't care; one year after giving an award to admitted harasser Louis C.K., they gave one to Dave Chappelle's homophobic and transphobic Netflix special. Sigh. https://t.co/ItUIFV7WRH
