Comedian Michelle Buteau Criticizes Dave Chappelle’s Anti-Trans Jokes In New Netflix Special

Michelle Buteau isn’t holding back when it comes to Dave Chappelle’s controversial comedy.

“Comedians should be able to tell jokes and stories and not disparage a whole community.”

She referred to Chappelle as “the GOAT,” but explained that in his case, it stands for “going off on trans people.” Buteau continued,

“I can’t believe somebody would make millions and millions of dollars for making people feel unsafe. That is so wild to me, truly.”

As reported, Chappelle came under fire in 2021 for targeting the trans community in his Netflix special “The Closer” and doubled down on his jokes in “The Dreamer.”
