Few actors get a send-off from a TV show quite like the one the cast and crew of Community gave Chevy Chase. As recounted in the upcoming CNN documentary I\u2019m Chevy Chase And You\u2019re Not, Chase was nobody\u2019s favorite co-worker. After Chase blurted out the N-word on set<\/a>, creator Dan Harmon led his cast and crew in a \u201cFuck you, Chevy,\u201d chant at a wrap party. It\u2019s just one of many stories that have resurfaced in the lead-up to the doc\u2019s January 1st premiere. But as pieces of the doc began to drip into the press, Chase\u2019s former Community classmate, Yvette Nicole Brown seemingly commented on the situation: \u201cKeep my name out your mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are things I\u2019ve never spoken or publicly and perhaps never will,\u201d Brown wrote on social media<\/a>. \u201cAnyone currently speaking for or about me with perceived authority is speaking without ever speaking to me about the things they claim to know about. They actually don\u2019t really know me\u2014at all. They also have no knowledge of my relationship with anyone I\u2019ve worked with & cannot credibly speak on any current or previous issues. I hate that all this had to be said. In East Cleveland speak: Keep my name out your mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

We assume she\u2019s referring to Community director Jay Chandrasekhar, who was the only person from that era of Chase\u2019s career to sit down for an interview for the doc. Chandrasekhar directed the episode that led to Chase\u2019s outburst, and when the director told Chase that he needed to apologize to Yvette Nicole Brown, Chase didn\u2019t understand. \u201c[Chevy] goes, \u2018You know, me and Richard Pryor, I used to call Richard Pryor the N-word, and he used to call me The Honky, and we loved each other.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018I know, man, I love that bit.\u2019 I said, \u2018You know, can we just have a little apology?\u2019 He goes, \u2018For what?’\u201d<\/p>\n
