Yvette Nicole Brown Chevy Chase Documentary Scandal: "Keep My Name Out of Your Mouth"

"Keep my name out of your mouth." Those are the sharp words from Community star Yvette Nicole Brown as she breaks her silence regarding a new documentary about her former co-star, Chevy Chase. The actress took to Instagram on December 31, 2025, to distance herself from the upcoming project and the resurfaced allegations of racial misconduct on set.

The Alleged Racial Incident in Yvette Nicole Brown Chevy Chase Documentary

The controversy stems from the CNN documentary . Director Jay Chandrasekhar claims to have witnessed a tense moment where Chevy Chase allegedly used the N-word during a rehearsal. According to the director, the situation escalated when a tone-deaf storyline triggered a confrontation, leading to Chase's eventual exit from the series after season 4.

Refusing to be "Labor" for Others

Brown's response was swift and uncompromising. She stated that anyone speaking for her is doing so without her consent. "Do your own work so you don't become labor for others," she wrote, emphasizing that she's chosen not to participate in the documentary. She described the chatter surrounding the film as "low-vibrational" and "beneath" her.

Notably, none of the original Community cast—including Donald Glover and Joel McHale—participated in the film. This collective absence speaks volumes about the cast's desire to move past the toxic environment that reportedly plagued the production over a decade ago.
