Hollywood comedian Patton Oswalt is apologizing after posting a photo on social media with his longtime friend and fellow comic Dave Chappelle.
Chappelle has recently come under fire for his Netflix comedy special “The Closer,” which critics say is insensitive toward the transgender community.
Just days after creating the post, Oswalt felt a need to extinguish any fires it may have caused among his fan base, which tends to be liberal.
In a lengthy apology post, Oswalt noted he had played a show with a friend on New Year's Eve who he had not seen in a while, referring to Chappelle.
“We’ve known each other since we’re teens. He’s a fellow comedian, the funniest I’ve ever met. I wanted to post a pic & an IG story about it — so I did,” wrote Oswalt.
But we also 100% disagree about transgender rights & representation. I support trans peoples’ rights — ANYONE’S rights — to live safely in the world as their fullest selves. For all the things he’s helped ME evolve on, I’ll always disagree with where he stands NOW on transgender issues.
Oswalt continued in his post that he was "sorry, truly sorry" that he "didn’t consider the hurt" posting the picture "would cause. Or the DEPTH of that hurt."

Fair weather friend.
So all those spineless characters he played weren’t an act
Coward and bootlicker.
He’s a scumbag
People are being trained to denounce their friends, and do it automatically and immediately. It’s more and more like Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
If it wasn’t that it would be vaccination status, if not that being in a picture with Trump, if not that not supporting the green new deal, if not that .....
what a puto
Coward and bootlicker.
From the looks of Patton, boots ain’t what he’s licking.
That is offensive to Putos!
Wife murderer.
“But we also 100% disagree about transgender rights & representation. I support trans peoples’ rights — ANYONE’S rights — to live safely in the world as their fullest selves.”
