Yvette Nicole Brown, known for her role as Shirley Bennett on NBC’s Community, has come forward with a statement after her name resurfaced in connection with former co-star Chevy Chase’s 2012 N-word scandal.
Her message, delivered through Instagram, arrived shortly after the release of the authorized documentary I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not today (January 1), in which director Jay Chandrasekhar revisits the racial incident that ultimately resulted in Chase’s firing from the series.
For Brown, the renewed attention resurrected a painful chapter of the show’s history, making it clear that she does not appreciate others attempting to speak on her behalf.
