The stars and creator of Netflix hit collection\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>have launched an announcement in response to controversy surrounding feedback made by forged member David Choe.<\/p>\n Following the discharge of the black comedy collection to extraordinarily constructive suggestions<\/a>, a 2014 clip from Choe\u2019s now-defunct podcast surfaced by which he talked about sexually assaulting a therapeutic massage therapist<\/a>. He later apologised for the story and claimed that it was unfaithful and relayed solely for the aim of leisure.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I am guilty of anything, it\u2019s bad storytelling in the style of douche,\u201d he stated on the time \u201cJust like many of my paintings are often misinterpreted, the same goes with my [podcast]. The main objective of all of my podcasts is to challenge and provoke my friends and the co-stars on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n Yesterday (April 21), Beef<\/em>\u2018s showrunner Lee Sung Jin and principal forged members Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, who play important characters Danny Cho and Amy Lau respectively, gave an announcement to Variety<\/em> <\/a>responding to the controversy.<\/p>\n \u201cThe story David Choe fabricated nine years ago is undeniably hurtful and extremely disturbing,\u201d they stated. \u201cWe do not condone this story in any way, and we understand why this has been so upsetting and triggering. We\u2019re aware David has apologized in the past for making up this horrific story, and we\u2019ve seen him put in the work to get the mental health support he needed over the last decade to better himself and learn from his mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n Choe didn’t reply to\u00a0The Independent<\/em>\u2019s request for remark.<\/p>\n In the collection, Yeun and Wong star as two feuding enemies who find yourself in a warfare stemming from a highway rage incident. Choe performs Yeun\u2019s cousin Isaac.<\/p>\n An official synopsis reads: \u201cBeef\u00a0<\/em>follows the aftermath of a highway rage incident between two strangers. Danny Cho, a failing contractor with a chip on his shoulder, goes head-to-head with Amy Lau, a self-made entrepreneur with a picturesque life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"David](\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/david-choe-beef-netflix-alamy.jpg\")
