As Netflix endures another week of the maelstrom created by Dave Chappelle’s controversial comedy special that shows no signs of slowing down, the streamer finds itself on the edge of a metamorphic moment.
Since the special debuted Oct. 5, three employees were suspended, fiercely guarded corporate data was leaked, another employee was fired, countless others are planning to walk out in protest, and demands have been made. And that isn’t all. Public criticism is mounting, and the company’s own stars aren’t holding their tongues (or Twitter fingers).
But the question of whether the streamer will leap or fall back is still up in the air.
