The situation is back in the news after voice actor Hank Azaria said he will no longer voice Apu, and now he’s speaking out about why he made that decision.
The Simpsons has faced quite the ongoing controversy in recent years over what to do with Apu.
After complaints and a documentary alleging the character is culturally insensitive, Apu was seemingly dropped from the show.
The move angered some classic fans who loved the character and what he brought to the series, and there have been steady requests to bring the character back over the years.
