Michelle Buteau has a few choice words for Dave Chappelle and his past comments about the trans community in her new Netflix comedy special.

Halfway through her comedy show dubbed “Michelle Buteau: A Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall,” the comedienne transitions out of a lively discussion about her Black lesbian friend by saying “we can tell jokes and stories and not disparage a whole community.” “We can do that,” she continues in her special, which dropped Dec.

31. “We can make it funny, we just have to work at it. So if you guys ever run into Dave Chappelle, can you let him know that shit?
