Netflix has suspended three employees for attending an executive meeting they were not invited to, including a trans staffer who recently criticized the company’s new Dave Chappelle standup special called “The Closer,” The Verge and Variety reported on Monday. The trans employee, senior software engineer Terra Field, tweeted a thread on Wednesday that went viral in which she said that Chappelle “attacks the trans community, and the very validity of transness — all while trying to pit us against other marginalized groups.” In a statement, Netflix said the employees were not suspended because of anything they tweeted about the special. “It is absolutely untrue to say that we have suspended any employees for tweeting about this show,” a Netflix spokesperson said.
