Louis C.K. is done.

A New York Times investigation published today put names and specifics to unsourced stories that had been circulating for years, alleging that the filmmaker-performer pressured five female colleagues to watch or listen to him masturbate. A one-line summary on the Times story strikes at the heart of the charges: As the powerful comedian found success by talking about his hang-ups, he was also asking female comics and co-workers to watch him masturbate.

The Times investigation by Melena Ryzik, Cara Buckley, and Jodi Kantor arrived mere hours after the announcement that C.K.s movie distributor canceled the premiere of his new film, I Love You, Daddy, a controversy-stoking two-fer in which C.K. plays a C.K.-like television producer who has a sexual relationship with an actress whos about to star in his new TV show, while his teenage daughter (Chlo Grace Moretz), a legal minor, is having a fling with a much older, Woody Allen-like film director (John Malkovich).

i want to laugh at all the guys and girls who idolized louis CK as the best entertainer

those particular fans are annoying as hell.

It's real but it's from an episode of his TV show.

Oh well, at least it's still funny
---

Its real I think. Why are you so invested in people being in pain is the question.
---

That's from his TV show Louie. The show he's on was real. That's Red Eye on Fox News hosted by Greg Gutfeld.

Shame about Louie, but I'm not hurt by it because I saw this coming from a mile away. I heard the whispers over the past few years too.
---

I don't think it was supposed as secret as it seems. He poked fun at this in his own show Louie with that fake Fox interview.

I think he thought it was just his comedian gimmick and he was trying to be funny in one of those weird ways.

Allegations = guilty in this day and age.

Maybe I can afford tickets to his shows now

If I remember correctly, a couple of the women have written messages from CK where he apologizes for his behavior.
---

This wont even put a dent in his career.
---

Dude has issues, at least he isn't just power-tripping like most people being outed lately seemed to have been doing. I really, seriously hope people and the media recognize that and don't just throw him under the bus.
---

Looking forward to all male celebrities being done
---

I foresee at least Netflix, maybe even Fox, being done with him. He'll probably get heckled to hell and back for the next few years too.
---

It's all just an act, people! He was in character the whole time!
---

This is a non-issue. The guy has a weird fetish but asked for consent every single time he did it. The only two women upset who saw it thought he was joking when he asked and laughed it off, never telling him they were uncomfortable.

This is only a story because its following the Weinstein and Spacey bandwagons, with people disingenuously trying to claim theyre at all similar.

He'll probably joke about, as any comedian should.
---

Wouldn't he have been charged with public masturbation if there were actual witnesses? And if no one said anything about it, that's on them for not stepping forward when it was actually going on. And the lude remarks, meh. Overall, this has nothing on allegations towards other people and this seems pretty meh.

In fact, it feels like this isn't even really worth of news at all since Louis pretty regularly talks about this stuff.

Allegations are as good as convictions

So he asked women to watch/listen to him deed? Is that all this is? So they had a chance to say no, right? Which I'm sure some did and nothing came of it?

Eh. While creepy it doesn't compare to the rapists about and I would be surprised if it actually ends his career. Maybe networks won't continue his shows, but he'll probably still tour doing comedy just fine.

Yep, if they said no, he didnt do it.

I mean, it is still pretty fucking creepy to ask though, outside sexual situations with a partner/someone you're paying for it.

Then why is this a big deal? If this is harassment, then how extreme is it to ask someone to have sex with you? How does consensual sex even happen if asking and giving someone the opportunity to say no is harassment?

Creepy, yeah. Cause for a scandal or whatever the heck they're doing here? Nah.

Those are the ONLY two situations where it's acceptable to ask someone to have sex? OK.

Whether or not the scandal grows will probably be based on how much of a workplace environment these situations were considered to happen in. Louis CK is a big name in comedy and at least one of these women felt pressured because she was a comedy writer and felt she couldn't say no without ruining her career.

I don't think that's solid enough to stick. But I wouldn't be surprised if more women come out against CK. This seems like it was a pretty standard thing for him.

"The powerful comedian"

Nobody ever would have used the word "powerful" to describe Louis C.K. unless they were trying to use it to defame his reputation. See how news media uses words to ruin people's reputation. Couple the word "power" with "pressured" (when he probably merely asked in a comical way) and BAM Louis C.K. is now a rapist.

imagine if your boss called you into his office and asked you if you could watch him jerk off. that would probably not go over well and your boss would be unemployed by lunchtime.

so why arent actors, actresses, comedians held to the same standard? obviously they're not clocking into an office but they're all still working professionals and i think anyone in this position should be entitled to having some level of professionalism and not have to be subjected to weird sexual advances. it's not like the girls were on a date with louis CK or something, he was just being a weirdo

He asked, if they said no he apologized and didn't push it.

doesnt make it any less inappropriate dude

I thought this was a well-known fact. I think Whitey Cummings and/or Joe Rogan talked about this before.

These are not merely allegations. Louis has admitted they are true!

nope. the first story outlined in the NYT article says he just whipped his penis out in front of two women and started going at it. in another instance he was on the phone with a woman and she heard him deeding. not sure where you got your information from but it seems inaccurate based on what i've read.

here's the article, you can read for yourself:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/arts/television/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct.html

also, in what world is it socially acceptable to approach women and ask them to watch you masturbate? do you honestly think there is absolutely nothing wrong with that behavior?

he's still funny

The article does say that he asked, though... But he didn't get a yes before doing it (or a no, they just laughed).

Yeah, it's creepy but it's nowhere near the level of Weinstein or Spacey's case.

.... you seriously see nothing wrong with approaching a woman and asking her to watch you masturbate? i can't accept that you actually believe this, you HAVE to be trolling because nobody is that obtuse.
