    Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says he fired the company's top spokesman over use of the N-word

    Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says he fired the company's top spokesman over use of the N-word


    The spokesman, Jonathan Friedland, confirmed in tweets that he was leaving the company, saying he was insensitive in speaking with his team about words that offend in comedy.

    Mr Hastings says his descriptive use of the word on at least two occasions at work showed unacceptably low racial awareness and sensitivity.
