Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings skirted questions regarding Dave Chappelle’s controversial standup comedy special at the Milken Conference yesterday. Chappelle’s special, which debuted on the streaming platform on Oct. 5, has been criticized by fans and activist groups, such as the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), for “ridiculing trans people and other marginalized communities.”
During an interview about his philanthropy, Hastings said he had “no comment” on the matter and that he was focused on “what we can do for kids around the country and working on that” [h/t CNBC].
