Jeff Ross could fall into a bottomless pit and nothing would be lost for comedy.

 

Imagine being this mad about anything. What a loser.

 

Can't think of a worse way to handle things

 

Cancel culture people about to be real quiet

 

The email from Sarandos is real ugly look. "We aim to be inclusive, but Chapelle makes us a shit ton of money and we don't think what he said was that bad".

 

love to see how they spin that in court

 

They claim they suspended her because she tried to attend a meeting she wasn't supposed to be in? Seems like that's clearly pretextual to me though.

 

Uh unless there’s more that headline should read that he doesn’t address the allegations. Very weak.

 

Yeah I was gonna say, he doesn’t address it at all. Clickbait headline.

 

I mean, I’m also fine with him not addressing it at all. He’s not his keeper - he did one movie with him.

 

I mean ok but that’s being a terrible ally although I’m not sure if he claims to be one, but also this is an industry that’s going through a reckoning with male abusers and if you just want to take a neutral stance when asked directly you kind of suck imo. To each their own though.

 

If I recall correctly, isn’t that almost the exact same response he gave when asked about working with Woody Allen? I think he ended up donating his salary from that movie but he doesn’t seem to want to make a clear verbal statement about any of it

Keeping my original post since I wasn’t completely correct. No clue whether he just wants to try and get everything right or waits for his team to craft a statement. But either way for whatever reason he’s not comfortable talking about it in interviews

Damon Wayans says Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special freed comedian ‘slaves’

Oooof

 

I'm so tired of all these comedians willing to hold water for Chappelle.

 

I mean he also supported Cosby

 

i've never found Chappelle to be particularly funny. i don't think i've seen any of his specials, only a couple episodes of his tv show. but a couple people i follow on letterboxd (and even one of my good friends) gave the new special 5 stars, and i'm sitting here like "guysssss what????"
