Before Comedy Central took in Chapelle\u2019s Show<\/em> in 2003, Dave Chapelle went to HBO to see whether they would consider taking him aboard. At this time, Chapelle was \u201c28 years old, desperate for money, and expected to be a father.\u201d According to Chapelle, when he came in contact with HBO about the series, they turned it down. From the video on Instagram Chapelle released, he stated that the hit show is available for streaming on HBO Max through a deal with ViacomCBS. However, HBO Max and WarnerMedia haven\u2019t responded to request for comments regarding the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Netflix vs Chapelle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, Chapelle noticed that Netflix also obtained the rights to stream Chapelle\u2019s Show<\/em> for the platform, but that left Chapelle \u201cfurious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s Show<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Chapelle, it was in ViacomCBS\u2019s right to not pay him afterward due to the contract he signed. However, the morality of the decision is in question.

Fans commented on the Instagram video released by Chapelle stating that the moral decision is wrong, where Chapelle also agreed with the fans. After Chapelle communicated with his agent regarding the matter, the agent said there is nothing they can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
