'Leaving Neverland' Director Dan Reed Claps Back At Dave Chappelle
Dan Reed, the director of the HBO documentary, Leaving Neverland has clapped back at Dave Chappelle over comments that he made during his recent Netflix special, Sticks & Stones.
"I don't think Dave Chappelle was very funny or clever to do what he did. You know, mocking kids who were raped by famous people, it's like: Is that funny?" Reed said on the red carpet at the Creative Arts Emmys, per Deadline.
"Some people think it's funny, but I don't want this film to be positioned as part of the sort of 'Cancel Culture,'" he added.
"I don't believe those motherf*ckers," Chappelle said about Jackson's accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck. "Don't watch it… It's f*cking gross… really nasty sh*t."
"I don't think he did it, but you know what? Even if he did do it … you know what I mean? I mean, it's Michael Jackson. I know more than half the people in this room have been molested in their lives, but it wasn't no goddamn Michael Jackson, was it?"
Did Chappelle take it too far?
