Netflix vs Chapelle
Before Netflix took the initiative to stream Chapelle’s Show on their platform, Chapelle had a deal with them in 2016, allowing Chapelle to release his specials exclusively on Netflix. However, Chapelle noticed that Netflix also obtained the rights to stream Chapelle’s Show for the platform, but that left Chapelle “furious.”
When Chapelle found out about his show that he worked on specifically for Comedy Central (ViacomCBS) was on Netflix, he called aggressively called Netflix stating that it made him feel bad. After the call, Netflix took action to remove Chapelle’s Show from their platform so Chapelle could feel better. Chapelle expressed warm feelings with Netflix as they handled the situation calmly, although this was for a point that made Chapelle think they did something that might be wrong.
