Netflix’s CEO Ted Sarandos says that he “screwed up” in his defence of Dave Chappelle’s special The Closer, claiming that he needed more “humanity” in his response.
Although, despite his regret with how he handled the criticism, Sarandos doesn’t regret keeping The Closer on Netflix.
Sarandos has been widely criticised online for claiming that on-screen content doesn’t cause real-world harm amid his continued defence of the comedian.
The CEO also spoke about how Netflix has spent loads of funds to create content for the LGBTQ+ community, and will continue to do so.
