The editorial and publishing manager in Netflix’s film department has left the streaming service over “what happened last fall” with comedian Dave Chappelle’s recent stand-up special on the platform.
“i’m no longer at Netflix,” former manager Oliver Whitney tweeted Friday. “too complex to sum up in a tweet, but after what happened last fall, i decided this week that as a trans person i couldn’t continue working there.”
Whitney will “be back on the freelance grind soon” and available to work in jobs that intersect with film, editorial and social content.
