A handful of counter-protestors showed up in Hollywood, California, on Oct. 20 to oppose more than 100 protesters who rallied in support of Netflix employees who walked off the job to pressure the entertainment platform to cancel comedian Dave Chappelle’s stand-up special, “The Closer.”
Activists have criticized Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos for the company’s refusal to cancel Chappelle’s controversial standup comedy performance in which he reacts to accusations of “punching down” on transgender individuals.
