Following the backlash to Dave Chappelle's comedy special The Closer, Netflix has fired a trans employee who was organizing an upcoming walkout, as reported by The Verge.
This is not the first employee who has been penalized by Netflix for their unhappiness with Chappelle's special. Terra Field, a trans software engineer, was suspended following a viral Twitter thread about The Closer, though she was later reinstated. The Verge reports that this newly fired employee is also trans, as well as black and pregnant. Netflix told The Verge that it fired this employee over suspicion of leaking internal metrics to the press.
