Hannah Gadsby on lashing out at Netflix over Dave Chappelle's The Closer: "I bit the hand that fed me"
-
In her new standup show Body of Work, which she performed this week at Australia's Sydney Opera House, Gadsby addressed her decision to go after Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos and Chappelle after Sarandos mentioned her in defense of Chappelle's The Closer. "F*ck you and your amoral algorithm cult,” Gadsby posted on Instagram in October. “I do sh*ts with more backbone than you. That’s just a joke! I definitely didn’t cross a line because you just told the world there isn’t one.” Gadsby said in her standup act that her post made international news, and when the story was translated by Russian news services and back into English as “I do shits with more tenacity than you."
