Yvette Nicole Brown is speaking out ahead of the release of CNN’s documentary on Chevy Chase, I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, which reopens old wounds from the set of NBC’s Community involving allegations of racist slurs and harassment. According to the documentary, Chase felt ostracized by the tight-knit cast, which besides Brown included breakout stars like Donald Glover, Alison Brie and Joel McHale. An argument over the appropriateness of the scene between Chase and Brown allegedly included an utterance of the N-word by Chase, which led to Brown storming off the set. Chase’s wife, Jayni Chase, also says Chase was drinking heavily at that time and showing up to work drunk. Brown and Chase did not respond to THR’s request for comment.
