Celebrity chef David Chang and model Chrissy Teigen have taken to Instagram to voice their frustrations with Netflix, accusing the streaming giant of unfair treatment during the production of their new show.
In a series of now-deleted Instagram Stories, Teigen shared screenshots of messages from Chang, where he expressed his disappointment with Netflix's handling of their project. The messages suggested that the platform had failed to provide adequate support, leaving the duo feeling undervalued.
What Sparked the Outburst?
According to Teigen's posts, Chang revealed that Netflix had allegedly reneged on promises made during negotiations, leading to a breakdown in communication. The celebrity chef reportedly felt that the streaming service had not honoured their commitments, leaving the production in limbo.
Teigen, known for her outspoken nature, did not hold back in her criticism. She described the situation as "frustrating" and hinted at a lack of transparency from Netflix's side.
Netflix's Response
As of now, Netflix has not publicly responded to the allegations. However, industry insiders suggest that the streaming platform often faces such criticisms from content creators, particularly those who feel their projects are not given the attention they deserve.
This incident has sparked a broader conversation about the treatment of talent in the entertainment industry, with many fans rallying behind Teigen and Chang.
What's Next?
It remains unclear whether the duo will continue their collaboration with Netflix or seek alternative platforms for their show. One thing is certain: this public spat has put Netflix under scrutiny once again.
