Dave Chappelle has been denounced by trans actress Trace Lysette
Dave Chappelle’s most recent anti-trans jokes have been denounced by trans actress Trace Lysette.
“The Dreamer,” Chappelle’s latest comedy special, debuted on Netflix on Sunday, December 31. The comedian is said to be focusing on the first decades of his Hollywood career and how he found success.
But after only a short while, he started making fun of the transgender community. He has received harsh criticism for using similar material in earlier performances.
He claimed to “love punching down” and made fun of disabled and gay people in the new special.
In a video posted to her TikTok account, Lysette expressed her opinions on the program, saying, “I don’t know what doll hurt Dave Chappelle. I genuinely don’t.
However, it is providing a frustrated customer. It is playing a vengeful method. It’s giving… she was like, ‘No, I don’t do that,’ when he tried to kiss her on the mouth. ‘I charge more for that. You must give me X, Y, Z if you want to do that.’
His ego was bruised, honey, and he said, ‘Oh, no, ma’am.’ You then went on a spree. Do I have a lie? Dolls, am I telling the truth?”
“Who then goes on to produce three specials, three comedies, about the dolls?” Lysette continued. “Because of your inability to get over it. Get him some help.”
Dave Chappelle compared transgender individuals to Hollywood prosthetic players in the special.
“If you’ve come here tonight expecting me to mock those persons once more, you’ve come to the wrong show. I’m not f**king with those people anymore,” he told the audience.
“It wasn’t worthwhile to go through the trouble. I won’t say anything negative about them. That’s all, sometimes three or four times now.
I’ve had enough of bringing them up. And you’re curious as to why I’m sick of bringing them up? Because these people behaved in a way that made me want to laugh. Well, that is absurd. You are not necessary to me.”
Otherwise, he promised to make jokes about people with disabilities. “I’m making all kinds of disabled jokes tonight. They lack the same level of organization as the gays, and I enjoy punching down.”
However, Dave Chappelle later turned his attention back to the transgender community despite declaring that he would not “make fun” of them.
“To be completely honest,” he said, “I’ve been working to mend my relationship with the transgender community because I don’t want them to think I dislike them.”
“You know how I have been mending it? A play that I wrote. Because I know that gay people love plays, I did.
Although the play is really sad, it is moving. It’s about a trans Black person whose name is regrettably n***a. It’s a heartbreaker.
She passes away from loneliness at the play’s conclusion because white liberals don’t know how to approach her.”
He added that he hoped to serve time in a “woman’s jail” if ever sentenced to prison, and that it would be in California so that the judge could confirm his identity.
“You know what I’m doing as soon as I get in there?” he asked.
“Before I smack your motherfking tooth out, give me your grape cocktail, bh. I’m a lady, just like you, btch. Suck this woman d**k I’ve got here, please. I’m a woman, so please don’t make me explain myself.”
