Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special The Unspottable included several references of apparent support for the imprisoned Sean “Diddy” Combs.

One of his accusers, Jonathan Hay, has now told Deadline that Chappelle’s act left him feeling “deeply unsettled”.

“His latest Netflix special, ‘The Unstoppable’… left me deeply unsettled with its repeated expressions of support for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs,” he said. “Chappelle attempts to downplay the horrific situation involving Cassie Ventura, turning her documented physical assault into fodder for jokes, while casually admitting he once ‘missed his chance’ to have sex with her.”

“Such humor doesn’t just minimize her trauma; it normalizes it,” he added.

Hay recently levied further claims of sexual battery against the incarcerated rapper, which are currently part of an open investigation by the LA County Sheriff’s Department.

Diddy’s team “categorically” denied “all claims that he sexually abused anyone” and described them “as false and defamatory”.

Meanwhile, Dave Chappelle further said in his Netflix special that Sean “Diddy” Combs had saved his life when he was attacked in Los Angeles.

“It’s not that I think Puff is right, but when I got attacked in LA at the Hollywood Bowl, people forget Puff was the guy that tackled my attacker. He saved my life,” said the stand-up comic. “That’s a hard dude to be mad at after that.”

Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable… dropped unannounced on Netflix last week, December 19.
