Taking to Instagram, Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby launches a scathing attack on a Netflix executive who cited her comedy specials in a defence of the streaming platform's support for US comedian Dave Chappelle.

"Hey Ted Sarandos! Just a quick note to let you know that I would prefer if you didn't drag my name into your mess,""Now I have to deal with even more of the hate and anger that Dave Chappelle's fans like to unleash on me every time Dave gets 20 million dollars to process his emotionally stunted partial world view.

Mr Sarandos has continued to defend the special, describing it as "an important part of our content offering".In further fallout from the controversy surrounding The Closer, a Netflix employee has been reportedly fired for leaking confidential financial data related to the comedy special to news organisation Bloomberg.that an employee had been "let go" for "sharing confidential, commercially sensitive information outside the company.

damn, the replies really do prove her right that her 'critics' are 99% cos white men screaming about how she's not funny 😅 excellent criticism lads, your grasp on logic & how to structure an argument is truly breathtaking 🤦‍♀️

Gee you people literally find anything to be offended by. Grow up, have a thick skin and move on....sticks and stones

Omg I thought that was Mark hoppus!

Dave Chapelle said nothing wrong … Bill Burr said nothing wrong … they are standing up for everyone who believes that we cannot bow to a minority group who want to force us to deny science by saying there is no such thing as gender … cancel culture won’t change that !!

Is that mug shot from when she was arrested for not being funny.

Very brave. Kudos to Hannah for speaking up on this when it would have been easier go stay silent. Netflix could have edited those comments out. Not continued working with Schappelle but they chose to give hate a platform. Shame on netflix

Hannah Gadsby is as funny as a boil on one's anus. She should sit down and stop embarrassing herself

If you think Dave’s routine was “hateful” you gotta ban a whole lot more comedians from days gone by…

Looking at all this small minded garbage from my country-people is truly disheartening I thought we were better than this! It seems the hate that hid the murders of gay men in the 80's, is alive & well Australia, you have disappointed me again 😪

Good on Netfix for showing people what real diversity is. It's funny that those screaming out for diversity are the ones that don't like it.

Kicking and screaming?

In a free society there should be no subject matter or group of people who should be off limits for comedy, satire or parody. This is non negotiable.

Hannah walked in to a barber and was like, 'Give me the Dave Hughes but even less funny'

Not news. How's your right wing masters?

Chapelle is great,love his humour,tells it how it is 🤣

She wasn't dragged into anything and her comments to the ABC are only to promote herself. This is not news this is advertising.

Nanette was the worst comedy special I had ever seen.

And he’ll take all ‘outrage’ to the bank and exchange it for trucks full of money

Jimmy Carr made jokes about, lesbians, christians, muslims, dwarves, women, etc. Nit so much hate on him though 😆

Wow. The people here are horrible. The point everyone is missing, is she’s a queer woman objecting to being mentioned in the same breath as a straight comedian who offends trans people in his skit. Why is that so hard to understand? Why bully a minority even more? Get a life.

Hannah Gadsby didn't mind sticking her toe in the mix to go after JK Rowling and so called TERFS on her own Facebook page a while back so I'm not surprised to see her having a go now. Endlessly disappointed by her turn on this one. Sigh 😑

Happy to take their money though, eh Hannah.

She should be glad that she’s being compared to someone who is actually funny. She is just awful.

Golly! Fancy being ‘slammed’ by Hannah Gadsby! What a horrible, HORRIBLE thought!

I bet they felt slammed. 🙄🤣

NT opposition labels mandatory vaccines for workers 'draconian'The CLP Opposition has slammed the NT government's vaccine mandate for workers, saying it's a 'sad indictment on the government and its vaccine rollout to date'. He probably agrees with putting Indigenous people in jail for possessing 1 can of beer tho Very hard to disagree. If we think vaccines are that important that they require mandates, then MANDATE THEM FOR ALL CITIZENS. Why all this discrimination around the edges. They are either vital, or not. If vital, then vital for all. Fight the mandatory vaccinations
