17 years ago today. ♥️🕊️🙏🏾 Rest In Heaven Isaac Hayes.

For over 14 years, people have speculated about why my father @isaachayes left South Park. I’m here to set the record straight. My dad did not quit South Park. Scientology did. After the episode “Trapped in the Closet” aired in 2005, my father suffered a stroke just a few months later that left him unable to speak or make decisions on his own. He was not in any condition to resign from anything. The truth is, someone else within his Scientology circle made that decision and quit the show for him. He loved being the voice of Chef. He loved the character. He loved connecting with fans. He would joke with people who recognized his voice and he truly enjoyed being part of the show. The narrative that he quit because he was offended by the satire is not true. That was a cover story created by others. My father never got to speak for himself because his health robbed him of that chance. So now I am speaking for him. He did not leave South Park willingly. He was forced out by illness and by people who did not have his best interest at heart. This is for anyone who loved Chef. This is for anyone who admired my father’s work. This is the truth about what really happened. Hear the full story on @cracked online. #IsaacHayes #southpark #southparkchef

Glad to partner with @Starbucks and their holiday campaign with “Hold on, I’m Coming”. Another one. ☝🏾

🚨BREAKING: The judge has given his opinion and order in our case against @RealDonaldTrump. The court acknowledges it’s likely that post-June 6, 2024, uses were without a license and infringed on Isaac Hayes Enterprises’ copyright. Thank to the Court for this order that came out yesterday in writing granting our injunction. Now we proceed to full trial. Our team @lizgarner and @jameslwalkeresq are filing an amended complaint with more counts and plan to press ahead in holding Donald Trump fully accountable for this illegal use.   Thanks to @attorneygriggs for standing with us as well.
