Chappelle said criticism of his Netflix special, which featured his views on transgender rights and identity, has hurt his ability to communicate.
"I should have led with a lot more humanity," he said in an interview with Variety."Meaning, I had a group of employees who were definitely feeling pain and hurt from a decision we made. And I think that needs to be acknowledged up front before you get into the nuts and bolts of anything. I didn't do that."
"The stakes are high but sometimes those who are unfamiliar with real transgender people can’t see or understand how harmful their words and actions are to those real people," he said.His Instagram video, recorded on-stage in front of an audience, focused on how the uproar is impacting Chappelle's own right to exist.
