Netflix chief communications officer is out following 'insensitive' remarks
Netflix is letting go of its chief communications officer Jonathan Friedland after "insensitive" remarks he made, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Friedland joined Netflix in 2011 as the vice president of global corporations and was promoted to the chief communications role the following year. "Leaders have to be beyond reproach we set and unfortunately I fell short of that standard when I was insensitive in speaking to my team about words that offend in comedy," he said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. Netflix has not yet named a replacement for Friedland. Netflix shares are up 114.0% this year, while the S&P 500 is up 3.17%.
