A Netflix employee at the center of worker-led protests over its streaming of comedian Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special has voluntarily resigned, it was announced Monday.

Chappelle’s special “The Closer”, which debuted on Oct. 5, led to backlash from LGBTQ+ advocates and prompted a walkout among some Netflix employees.
