Apparently, they were performing next door to each other so Chappelle invited him to come do a drop-in set.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy not? I waved good-bye to this hell-year with a genius I started comedy with 34 years ago,\u201d\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CYLfUrXrhod\/\">Oswalt wrote<\/a>. \u201cHe works an arena like he\u2019s talking to one person and charming their skin off. Anyway, I ended the year with a real friend and a deep laugh. Can\u2019t ask for much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oswalt\u2019s fans were conflicted over his kind words toward Chappelle given that he faces backlash over comments he made in his recent comedy special \u201cThe Closer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The comedian caught the ire of the LGBTQ+ community after the comedy special was released on Netflix in September. In it, Chappelle dedicates about a third of his time to discussing his past dealings with people in the transgender community getting offended by his jokes. He makes\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/5-of-dave-chappelles-most-controversial-jokes-from-the-closer-netflix-special\">remarks<\/a>\u00a0such as \u201cgender is a fact\u201d and declares himself \u201cteam TERF,\u201d a term standing for trans-exclusionary radical feminist, in a lengthy defense of \u201cHarry Potter\u201d author J.K. Rowling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p>His comments sparked a lot of backlash, including a walkout among Netflix employees and calls for his content to be pulled from the platform.<\/p>\n<p>After the attention that his New Year\u2019s Eve post received, Oswalt\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CYN3w4iL4qc\/\">shared another post<\/a>\u00a0on New Year\u2019s Day addressing the situation. In his new post, he noted that he and Chappelle \u201c100% disagree about transgender rights &amp; representation.\u201d However, he noted that he does not believe his friend\u2019s views on the matter are permanent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw a friend I hadn\u2019t seen in a long time this New Year\u2019s Eve. We\u2019ve known each other since we\u2019re teens. He\u2019s a fellow comedian, the funniest I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d Oswalt began his latest post. \u201cI wanted to post a pic &amp; an IG story about it \u2014 so I did. The friend is Dave Chappelle. Thirty four YEARS we\u2019ve been friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cHe\u2019s refocused and refined ideas a lot of us took as settled about race &amp; history &amp; Life On Planet Earth and spun them around with a phrase or punchline. We\u2019ve done bad &amp; good gigs, open mikes &amp; TV tapings.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"765\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AP21197320293935.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=765\" alt=\"Patton Oswalt defended his decision to perform with embattled comedian Dave Chappelle on New Year\u2019s Eve.\" class=\"wp-image-20692072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AP21197320293935.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1530 1530w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AP21197320293935.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1147 1147w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AP21197320293935.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=765 765w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AP21197320293935.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=382 382w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/AP21197320293935.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\"\/><figcaption>Patton Oswalt defended his decision to perform with embattled comedian Dave Chappelle on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jordan Strauss\/Invision\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After defending his longtime friendship with Chappelle, Oswalt tried to put the controversy he is facing in context and explained why he won\u2019t cancel him from his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also 100% disagree about transgender rights &amp; representation. I support trans peoples\u2019 rights \u2014 ANYONE\u2019S rights \u2014 to live safely in the world as their fullest selves. For all the things he\u2019s helped ME evolve on, I\u2019ll always disagree with where he stands NOW on transgender issues,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut I also don\u2019t believe a seeker like him is done evolving, learning. You know someone that long, see the struggles and changes, it\u2019s impossible to cut them off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 52-year-old stand-up performer went on to discuss\u00a0cancel culture\u00a0in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, revealing that he\u2019s cut friends out of his life with whom he couldn\u2019t agree. Now, he wonders if that negative reception only made them dig their heels in more and double down on bad decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m an LGBTQ ally. I\u2019m a loyal friend. There\u2019s friction in those traits that I need to reconcile myself, and not let cause feels of betrayal in ANYONE else. And I\u2019m sorry, truly sorry, that I didn\u2019t consider the hurt this would cause,\u201d he concluded. \u201cOr the DEPTH of that hurt. I\u2019ve been messaging a lot on IG today, and the back and forth has really helped guide me in the writing of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the backlash that Chappelle received, particularly from Netflix employees, the streaming platform\u00a0announced in December\u00a0that he will take part in a new 11-day stand-up comedy festival titled \u201cNetflix Is A Joke: The Festival,\u201d in Los Angeles featuring over 130 artists.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
