Dave Chappelle has responded to the massive controversy over his recent Netflix special, which made waves inside the company itself.

Chappelle was widely criticized for numerous jokes about transgender people in The Closer, where he said at one point he’s on “Team TERF.” The most notable backlash came from within Netflix itself, culminating in trans employees and allies staging a walkout in protest last week.

The comedian posted a video Monday of him addressing the controversy at a recent show.
