When she died, he didn’t attend her funeral. She did him a favor, he returned the favor, she acceded. He could have mentioned that in the special. Trans people have the highest suicide rates of anybody. Maybe being put in a hot situation too soon can also cause a person to go over the edge.
And when she committed suicide eight days later, he tried to make it about Twitter, which is a self-serving act on his part. But he also did it to rip on her, which she was even forced to respond to. Even though she was a novice comedian, he did her a solid by giving her 45 minutes of opening mic - which you shouldn’t do to a new comedian. He reached out to her in SF hunting for friendly trans voices to gloss over the flak he was getting and she stepped up. But I don’t think any of it exonerates Chappelle to be frank.

The special was criticized by Gadbsy and GLAAD as well as Dear White People executive producer Jaclyn Moore, who declared that she would no longer work with Netflix “as long as they continue to put out and profit from blatantly and dangerously transphobic content.” Rowling (who has been condemned for comments deemed anti-trans) and states that he is proudly “Team TERF” (an initialism that stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist). Chappelle also declares his support for Harry Potter author J.K. In the 72-minute special, Chappelle maintains that “gender is a fact,” goes on to say that “every human being in this room, every human being on Earth, had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on Earth,” and eventually likens trans women’s genitalia to brands of plant-based meat substitutes. 5, Dave Chappelle: The Closer was promoted as the last in a “body of work” that also included 2017’s The Age of Spin, Deep In the Heart of Texas, Equanimity and The Bird Revelation, followed by 2019’s Sticks & Stones.
