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.
