@@minkett1966 Because they do their job on the same stage? They didn't work for (or with) him in any capacity and this was before his career blew up. He was just another comedian that asked if they wanted to come to his hotel room. Why the hell do people keep fabricating that part?
These women consented to his request, what is supposed to do, have them sign a sex contract? Funny how the media omittes important details in his apology. Also this happened back in 2002, when Louie was just another comedian. He couldn't crush their careers if he wanted to. So bogus
Louis was still in some positions of power back in 2002. I think he was a writer and director even then. But either way this story is blown out of proportion.
I thought the same thing too when we found out. And I'm still on the fence about what I think, even years later. Like he asked, so what's the problem? There's a clip from Marc maron podcast where he talked about it and it kind of helped me see it from that perspective
Someone needs to shame these women for kissing and telling and THEN playing the victim card after their 'relations' with Louis didn't result in their big break.
Not only that; he wasn't that famous at the time. His wide spread success came later. He messed up using the word 'power' in his apology. Everyone and their grandma is running around falsely claiming these women worked for him and their careers were threatened... none of that is true he had no sway over their careers nor did he claim to but we live in a society of 'I said it so it's true now'...
"Hey i know it sounds weird but can i sh*t on your head? No? Oh i hope that doesn't affect our professional relationship. I mean it was just a question." And this is the person deciding over your carreer, have fun.
I believe the official line is that the reason it wasn't ok is that he is a successful comedian, and the women were aspiring comedians. And therefore it wasn't actual consent, or something.
@@RatatRatR It's kind of like if your boss at your dream company/dream job was like, "hey watch me masturbate". It's not they didn't technically consent. It's more so that it's more of a predicament.

Consent isn’t just someone saying “yes”. Like read the room and vibe of the person. They could say yes purely out of fear or intimidation, you psychopath.
Up until now, as a woman I "identified as a feminist" but I think no more. Louis C.K.'s work has gotten me through some really dark times. He never claimed to be perfect, in fact his comedy was all about trying to accept his imperfections, finding the humor in his own self hatred. Upon reflection on his work, he never hid from his actions, he wove them into the fabric of his material and his show. He apologized and owned up to his actions. I do think these allegations from these individuals are opportunistic and riding the coat tails of the current news cycle. I think people who can read between the lines, discerning people who make up Louis C.K.'s core audience, whatever their gender or political affiliations, will stay with him through this media storm. I know I will. I am a woman, until recently a feminist who has experienced sexual assault in various ways, including from an intimate partner. Louis C.K is a thoughtful person, plainly more than capable of self-reflection and attempting atonement through his commendable body of work. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Louis, love to you and I look forward to your work in the future.
This is the most well-written, mindful, and clear-sighted response from a fan I've so far read. You are very perceptive and prudent; something I wish more of the population had. As another person who's been influenced by his work, I completely agree with everything you said. It is great that people are having a voice, but it is almost being used irresponsibly right now (ironically). Media is showing far too much power. There's no remedial period given to the accused, which is unfair. This isn't condoning such behavior of course. But when it comes to 'sexual misconduct', a whole slew of variables need to be detailed and considered before branding 'abuser' on someone's forehead and destroying their career in less than 2 days. Particularly if they are mistakes of the past. We need balanced, rational judgment. And I hope it's found soon.
psychodelicategirl you should continue to be a feminist, its a good cause. Don't you think that those women that accuse a man of sexual abuse for nothing but touching himself , are feminists, because they arent, they arent helping the cause in any way, you can consider them radical feminists feminists or something but there are radicals to every idea or movement
How'd you go from "man jacking off in front of you" to "jizz in your face?" Clearly those aren't the same thing. Why can't you be honest while making your point?
Jeff Corsiglia, sorry if this sounds rude, but your a complete dumbass... have you really looked into the accounts of what happened... let me help you out... he DIDN'T jizz in anyone's face.. that would be an ACTUAL crime, and CK would be in jail.
So the adult comedians who identify as victims decided it was in their best interest to go along with his sexually based shenanigans until they realized claiming to be victimized might financially help them more. Thanks, got it.
If I had daughters and they were the victims, I would care of course. But then again did Louis CK really take off his clothes that fast they couldn’t go away? Why would they stick around and then cry about it
It’s tough to say ...If he asked the women first, and they said ok or yes, then yeah it’s out of hand. If they said yes just because he is famous and could “ruin their career” then they traded their morals for their career! But if he just did it completely out of the blue, then that’s fucked up. No woman should have to put up with shit like that. From what I’ve heard , he asked all of them beforehand when this happened however many years ago it was. As far as a lot of the other thing about what other men have done, good! Call them out if they assault / molest/rape/etc...they deserve to be outed
The most irritating thing is that if he fought back, he would still have a career. He didn't because he was full of remorse for the people he hurt and was ashamed of his actions. So because of he held remorse, he lost everything. A lesser man would still have a career.
@@heredianna2496 nah, look at other much worse ppl and companies that got cancled and came right back. hell even Andrew taint and Alex Jones have bigger careers CK this was such a weird situation where I don't agree whit what he did and think actions are needed but the way things got handled and the response was unlike anything I've seen since.
@@overhauledunderpaid6469 for years women harped about consent and how you have to ask for consent before you do anything. Louie asked for consent they gave him consent and he still got burned. I'm literally so confused on how you're supposed to do this now?
yeah it sounds like BS to me. .. some hoes looking for a payday. if he didnt actually physically do anything and they just say there and watched? they were obviously into him, it doesnt make sense.
The first thing most people would do if they made mistakes is hide. The first part of fixing your mistakes is admitting what you did. He should get credit for accepting responsibility like a man
He should receive a Nobel Peace Prize for remaining calm why these attention hungry bitches destroyed his career... Somehow everyone seems to believe Louis worked with or had sway over these women. He was a comedian they were comedians... separate.... nothing to do with each other... He was just a guy that asked women to come to his room they said yes then he asked if they wanted him to take off his clothes they said yes... case closed nothing else to be said and yet he tours in Europe now because everyone STILL somehow turns this into he did something wrong. The only responsibility he's accepting is being forced to do business outside of his own country because the story was twisted into something it's not and people with boring ass lives had to find a way to tear him down.
At a FESTIVAL …. Presumably with drunk and drugs….. It’s not like he did it in Starbucks at 9am in the morning? Did the women spur him on? Lot of gray area here
kudos for admitting it. i think he's one of the few, only matt lauer and louis admit to the sexual misconduct. All other celebrities have denied the allegations against them.
There is no misconduct he got consent. For years women complained that men should get consent before performing sexual act in front of them or to them. Louie literally played by the rules and still got burned.
But he did do something wrong, because some of them weren't in the position to say no, that's partially the point. These were women he was working with and I think atleast one he had just given a leading role to or something, in that case they have no idea if them saying no to him masturbating is going to lead to him firing them and ruining their careers. It's why there's a problem with sleeping with your boss, there's inherently a power difference there, if you say the wrong thing or the relationship goes south your boss could fire you. Overall point is, these women didn't know and because of that didn't know if they really had an option to say no. Him asking doesn't matter in that case.
He admits all of it. 5 women and his career is done. Deshawn Watson did basically the same thing to at least 26 women and he gets the richest contract ever and has to miss 6 games. Hmmmmm that’s fair. Play ball.
It put things into another light now that Louis C.K. joked about male hypocrisy and men being the number 1 enemy to women, considering that he was so far out of touch to even realize that getting totally naked in front of women, blocking entrances preventing them from leaving and threatening them and their careers afterwards was wrong. He apparently is also completely out of touch with the fact that not all men are like this, and that he really should just speak for himself rather than the rest of the male gender who do not deserve to be associated with such disgusting behavior.
The best way not to have a problem is when a guy asks hey is it cool if I jerk off in front of you? And in your head you're like oh I don't want to see him jerk off. Then you should probably answer with no, no I don't want to see you jerk off in front of me. It seems to me he asked every single one of these women and the ones who said no he didn't do it. Isn't that the whole point of consent? Even when a guy plays by the rules you girls still get pissed.
A lot of guys just don’t get it. Thank God your not in power. Even he admits what he did was messed up. Whipping out in front of women or anyone is not cool
ok .. so if a guy randomly whips it out in front of you. and you're not into it. .... why not just leave lol?? these were just gold digging hoes looking for a payday. god knows there's worse things celebrities do behind scenes than yanking it. .. if a hot actress did that no one would be offended
Giving permission for someone to whip it out in front of you and then acting like the situation you fully consented to in the first place is their fault is not cool. Don’t pretend as if you never dropped your under garments with consent for someone else.
I've read about his allegations so many years ago in some blog n i thought "too weird to be true" n it was a straight contrast to his outside image...but it's true n disappointing. We common folks next door guys could relate to his jokes, n it actually got us thru a bad day..
Why disappointing? You've never tried to hook up with someone they said yes so you did? He wasn't their boss, he didn't work with them in any capacity, he had no power over them, they said yes then didn't say no or leave... Missing the part where he did something wrong.
@@hanzflackshnack1158 none of them said yes you moron he invited them up to his hotel room to "write and edit mateial" and then whipped out his limp dong the second they had their backs turned then he used his career connections to keep them silent for years you're lying about this, you belong on a sex offender list just like him
People focus to much on the past. They don’t realize that people make mistakes and it’s hard to face them. We should focus on fixing them not shaming them. I personally love Louis but just because a person mishandled there power isn’t a shocker. This was over a decade ago and he hasn’t done anything else and it was at the start of his care people do that at the start when they don’t know how to use there power they get drunk of it.
Because sexual abuse to women damages them for life, it's not a temporary thing. So if someone does that and changes it doesn't lessen the damage and it's not like they can take it back. Actually he is taking more accountability about it then you expect from him and that's the messed up part. I don't think you even get his point about it all.
I hate the wimpy excuse these women use that, "he could've hurt my career." What about your dignity? What about your duty to other women that will go through the same thing since you didn't speak up? This kind of attitude makes you a sell out at best.
Bravo to Louie for just admitting it. Yes, the initial behavior was wrong but at least he's not lying about it or pretending he was drunk at the time. *hats off* much respect 👏
He held power over these women, he was a powerful guy in show business at the time and I'm pretty sure most or all of the accusers worked with him. It's the same reason why it's a problem to get into a relationship with or sleep with your boss, it can't be a healthy relationship because one person holds power over the other person. These women had no idea that if they said no he wasn't going to do what he could to tank their careers, there can't be a real 'yes' in those situations. You people want to remove all nuance and play dumb though because it's easier to argue, you know what I'm saying is true though. If the CEO of the company you work at asks you politely to perform sexual acts on him and you NEED a job at his company to support your family, there's not a real choice. You could be fired the next day.
somehow plenty of actors and athletes managed to not get canceled. also you arnt a famous actor or athlete cuz you failed at it, not cuz you don't want to get wrongly canceled! hey if that ur perspective you shouldn't leave ur house cuz a bus could hit u.
Yeah those poor gold digging women who were invited to write comedy . . . only for Louis to whip out his limp dingaling. And then blackmail them into silence. He's a liar and a sex criminal. He's like Bill Burr, but evil and depressing.
Fell off watching stand-up likesix years ago. Just learned about this in a joke, in passing, about his "bag of ďïçķś" bit on tiktok. Shame, he was one of my favorites.
Even though he did nothing wrong. Why is every other comment, "at least he admitted it." Admitted what? A consensual act between adults (not co-workers in any capacity) in a hotel room? He was coerced into making it sound like he did something wrong to save face in front of the herds of angry protestors when we all know this is outright falsehood and slander. Why the hell is everyone still acting like he did something wrong?
I am a woman an this is over the top why can’t we talk about sex anymore or joke around about this subject? Oh god he was inappropriate! Who cares America has become so uptight and suppressed about sex. Yes sometimes women are victims and so are men but if we all keep over playing this victim role people are only going to get crazier!
Louis Work picked me up during some dark times, his tv series was brilliant, laden with philosophy. Brilliant comedian. Loved him for years. But this has just shattered everything. I am seriously devastated.
And another thing dealing with his present life and shows he has/ had... Or the movie.. aren't these peice of shit companies under contract.. how is something in someone's past affecting them in the present.. these companies can't say they didn't know what there investment was doing... that's always bullshit.. he doesn't act that way now.. and if he did who fucking cares.. no one needed to hang with CK, they could have left.. it's f-ing insane.. everyone needs to take responsibility for there decisions and shut up with this and all other pointless conversations
What he did was creepy and inappropriate but it wasn't criminal. He behaved badly but there was some complicity with his "victims". There's a vast difference between him and Cosby, Weinstein because he never touched anyone physically. I don't see why he is saying he had "power", that's just kowtowing to the MeToo hysterics. All the allegation were before he got his cable show which was what catapulted his career. Before that he was a moderately successful comedian but not a "superstar" type comedian with money, fame and influence. Point is, what he did was forgivable, people needed to accept his apology and let him go on with his career. I'm still pissed off at the cable network for cancelling his show based on this stuff, it was a severe over reaction. I could understand if he had done something criminal, but he didn't.
I think like... what was he thinking? Sometimes i wonder what that planet is where (mainly) guys live in where it even crosses their minds to behave that way. I think it's totally just to judge that. Judging it made him and especially others who relate to him question themselves, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. We care enough about him that we judge him and it echoes. He's not a poor guy, honestly he's not. He got rich doing what he loves. He's just a very regular guy, behaviourally, what happened to be unfortunate in his position. I'm glad he's trying to improve.
@@apothecuriotf? It’s not our jobs to be mind readers. Like if a homeless guy on the street asks me for 50$ and I say yes because I’m scared, for no particular reason, that he’s gonna mug me, would I be in the right to tell a police officer I just got mugged? I mean you realize by this logic, zero men are safe, we already have trouble reading women’s emotions aside from sexual advances, you can’t expect us all to become facial expression experts just because some women are scared to say no. And to the people who say he “used his position of power”, does this mean that famous people are just not allowed to have sex with anyone who isn’t famous, because after all they might just be consenting because they feel overpowered🙄. Seriously if you have a strong stance on this explain it to me like I’m 5 years old, because I truly don’t understand the issue
Louis is the shit, so what if he goofed up a bit. Atleast he didn't do like...swim would do...and leave all his love affairs in multiple trash bags...spread across multiple dumpsters....
These bitches are killing his career to get some attention due to their lack of talent. If his actions were egregious, why wait years??? Furthermore, he DOD NOT TOUCH THEM. This is very important . He should come out and just be defiant. "I did not touch them, they liked watching me" because it's their word against his. He should then make sure these cunts never work again. The fact they waited so long is the proof it was never egregious to begin with. This is how I also knew Cosby was innocent. A rape victim doesn't wait fucking years or DECADES to come forward. Fuck them
We build people up and love to tear them down. Moms raise your boys the way you want to be treated. Make gun dealers and trophy hunters go away first! Don't clump master bating in as forcible rape . Many men would love women to master bate in front of them. Even weomen in power. If taken to far this could back fire on all weomen! I admire Louis C.k honisty and remorse
Not excusing Louis at all for this but these same Women will go to a stag party and have strippers wave their bits in their face and they would be fine. Society needs some consistency....
Is it just me or is this particular story blown way out of proportion?

The only responsibility he's accepting is being forced to do business outside of his own country because the story was twisted into something it's not and people with boring ass lives had to find a way to tear him down.
Lol
At a FESTIVAL …. Presumably with drunk and drugs…..
It’s not like he did it in Starbucks at 9am in the morning? Did the women spur him on? Lot of gray area here
kudos for admitting it. i think he's one of the few, only matt lauer and louis admit to the sexual misconduct. All other celebrities have denied the allegations against them.
There is no misconduct he got consent. For years women complained that men should get consent before performing sexual act in front of them or to them. Louie literally played by the rules and still got burned.
It was about how you should defend someone in a situation which is also showing his normal charachter.
He didn’t rape or sexually assault anyone. He never touched anybody. People need to get a grip.
This is what happens when you take 10-12 benadryl.
Problem is you all like him and don't care about this women. Imagine If it was your sister and her boss in office.
Can I pay Louis personally to get to see his movie?
But if he asked first. He really didn't do anything wrong.
But he did do something wrong, because some of them weren't in the position to say no, that's partially the point. These were women he was working with and I think atleast one he had just given a leading role to or something, in that case they have no idea if them saying no to him masturbating is going to lead to him firing them and ruining their careers.
It's why there's a problem with sleeping with your boss, there's inherently a power difference there, if you say the wrong thing or the relationship goes south your boss could fire you.
Overall point is, these women didn't know and because of that didn't know if they really had an option to say no. Him asking doesn't matter in that case.
Louis C.K......
He looks like someone who calls phone sex lines, a little too much...
He admits all of it. 5 women and his career is done. Deshawn Watson did basically the same thing to at least 26 women and he gets the richest contract ever and has to miss 6 games. Hmmmmm that’s fair. Play ball.
It put things into another light now that Louis C.K. joked about male hypocrisy and men being the number 1 enemy to women, considering that he was so far out of touch to even realize that getting totally naked in front of women, blocking entrances preventing them from leaving and threatening them and their careers afterwards was wrong. He apparently is also completely out of touch with the fact that not all men are like this, and that he really should just speak for himself rather than the rest of the male gender who do not deserve to be associated with such disgusting behavior.
if he asked AND was given consent to do it, then where the fuck is the problem ?
and why are they talking about this 15 years later ?
its ridiculous
Well, the first step to healing a problem is to first admit that you have one. Very good.
The best way not to have a problem is when a guy asks hey is it cool if I jerk off in front of you? And in your head you're like oh I don't want to see him jerk off. Then you should probably answer with no, no I don't want to see you jerk off in front of me. It seems to me he asked every single one of these women and the ones who said no he didn't do it. Isn't that the whole point of consent? Even when a guy plays by the rules you girls still get pissed.
A lot of guys just don’t get it. Thank God your not in power. Even he admits what he did was messed up. Whipping out in front of women or anyone is not cool
You cant even spell. Its you're not your you morron. They said yes btw after they came to his hotelroom.
@@Mo-mc3mw ahaha it's so funny that you tried to correct him when you wrote "cant" and "its" - both need an apostrophe. And moron is not spelt morron.
ok .. so if a guy randomly whips it out in front of you. and you're not into it. .... why not just leave lol?? these were just gold digging hoes looking for a payday. god knows there's worse things celebrities do behind scenes than yanking it. .. if a hot actress did that no one would be offended
Giving permission for someone to whip it out in front of you and then acting like the situation you fully consented to in the first place is their fault is not cool. Don’t pretend as if you never dropped your under garments with consent for someone else.
Unless they consent first, “which they did”
Louis C.K after 2023 is at his best.
I've read about his allegations so many years ago in some blog n i thought "too weird to be true" n it was a straight contrast to his outside image...but it's true n disappointing. We common folks next door guys could relate to his jokes, n it actually got us thru a bad day..
Why disappointing? You've never tried to hook up with someone they said yes so you did? He wasn't their boss, he didn't work with them in any capacity, he had no power over them, they said yes then didn't say no or leave... Missing the part where he did something wrong.
@@hanzflackshnack1158 1:07 "At first they thought he was joking" Right so about that consent
@@hanzflackshnack1158 none of them said yes you moron
he invited them up to his hotel room to "write and edit mateial" and then whipped out his limp dong the second they had their backs turned
then he used his career connections to keep them silent for years
you're lying about this, you belong on a sex offender list just like him
Miss ya Louie.
video doesn't show with adblock. glad they need all the ad revenue they can get from this story
You have to be careful who you wield that power at, it can come back to haunt you. Lol.
I mean are you really surprised?
Where is the part as per the title.
I have not raised my children to be so fragile
I still think hes a Chester
Im sorry, i thought he was weird when he was talking extremely vulgar about his daughter in his special.
People focus to much on the past. They don’t realize that people make mistakes and it’s hard to face them. We should focus on fixing them not shaming them. I personally love Louis but just because a person mishandled there power isn’t a shocker. This was over a decade ago and he hasn’t done anything else and it was at the start of his care people do that at the start when they don’t know how to use there power they get drunk of it.
Because sexual abuse to women damages them for life, it's not a temporary thing. So if someone does that and changes it doesn't lessen the damage and it's not like they can take it back. Actually he is taking more accountability about it then you expect from him and that's the messed up part. I don't think you even get his point about it all.
TBH I'm not surprised his whole cringy shtick was sex related
Burn notice
I hate the wimpy excuse these women use that, "he could've hurt my career." What about your dignity? What about your duty to other women that will go through the same thing since you didn't speak up? This kind of attitude makes you a sell out at best.
Demanding that a person should offer themself up as a sacrificial lamb because someone else hurt them is incredibly shitty.
A lot of people are getting accused nowadays
His favorite vacation spot is Palm Springs
Before thiS scandal he was on my top ten for sure, but he recently became my favorite comedian
Fuck that trendy shit. He is still the BEST. Looking forward to see his new show. I hope there will be one soon.
Lol these women are fing jokes lol you want to leave there’s the door.
What did he do?
Have you guys not seen the roast of Richard pryor? These showbiz types do a lot worse than this
God fucking damn it Louis
He's not the unfunniest sex criminal out there . . . I guess.
I can't wait for the next special where he makes this funny!!
I didn't hear him say shit
All those clips were out of context.
Bravo to Louie for just admitting it. Yes, the initial behavior was wrong but at least he's not lying about it or pretending he was drunk at the time. *hats off* much respect 👏
He's honest what about the reporter on CNN that got caught live he got his job back
#LOUISCKISSTILLGREAT
What a great guy. Men should stop being persecuted for trying to get laid. It's hard. You try it!
No always meant no, but apparently yes also means no.
He held power over these women, he was a powerful guy in show business at the time and I'm pretty sure most or all of the accusers worked with him.
It's the same reason why it's a problem to get into a relationship with or sleep with your boss, it can't be a healthy relationship because one person holds power over the other person.
These women had no idea that if they said no he wasn't going to do what he could to tank their careers, there can't be a real 'yes' in those situations.
You people want to remove all nuance and play dumb though because it's easier to argue, you know what I'm saying is true though. If the CEO of the company you work at asks you politely to perform sexual acts on him and you NEED a job at his company to support your family, there's not a real choice. You could be fired the next day.
Bah - He should run for President!
Louis C.K. is a fucking GOD lol..... I'm still a fan!
Louie CK is a fucking man and he's never raped anyone... Let's all cry now
Poor Louie. I always wanted to be a famous actor or athlete but in 2022 I’d say something to be canceled from anything
somehow plenty of actors and athletes managed to not get canceled. also you arnt a famous actor or athlete cuz you failed at it, not cuz you don't want to get wrongly canceled! hey if that ur perspective you shouldn't leave ur house cuz a bus could hit u.
@@josephdurham4950 wow you need a hobby
All these western news ladies developed masculinity instead of integrity.
At least he’s honest
Honest pig
I still love him. If anything, I have more respect for him based on how well-spoken his apology was vs how these gold-digging women handled it.
Puke
Yeah those poor gold digging women who were invited to write comedy . . . only for Louis to whip out his limp dingaling.
And then blackmail them into silence.
He's a liar and a sex criminal.
He's like Bill Burr, but evil and depressing.
I can see his "horns."
What? Because he's horny.
Fell off watching stand-up likesix years ago. Just learned about this in a joke, in passing, about his "bag of ďïçķś" bit on tiktok. Shame, he was one of my favorites.
@Tried to Delete me You'll find out or you won't.
@Tried to Delete me Not sure what you're saying. Come again?
@Tried to Delete me Okay, well.. don't jerk your chicken in front of people unless they say it's okay. McKay? Bye bye.
Soooo disappointed!
I would live on a island with all the famous sex scAndal celeberties
Sex is weird. Ok. Is this news?
Oh well
At least... I hope he's being honest... The truth shall set you free... Well you mucked up with three networks..
Even though he did nothing wrong. Why is every other comment, "at least he admitted it." Admitted what? A consensual act between adults (not co-workers in any capacity) in a hotel room? He was coerced into making it sound like he did something wrong to save face in front of the herds of angry protestors when we all know this is outright falsehood and slander. Why the hell is everyone still acting like he did something wrong?
Hey, when you acknowledge your wrong doings the only thing left to do is make ammends. At least he owned the truth.
This is a pretty funny story
I am a woman an this is over the top why can’t we talk about sex anymore or joke around about this subject? Oh god he was inappropriate! Who cares America has become so uptight and suppressed about sex. Yes sometimes women are victims and so are men but if we all keep over playing this victim role people are only going to get crazier!
Louis Work picked me up during some dark times, his tv series was brilliant, laden with philosophy. Brilliant comedian. Loved him for years.
But this has just shattered everything. I am seriously devastated.
And another thing dealing with his present life and shows he has/ had... Or the movie.. aren't these peice of shit companies under contract.. how is something in someone's past affecting them in the present.. these companies can't say they didn't know what there investment was doing... that's always bullshit.. he doesn't act that way now.. and if he did who fucking cares.. no one needed to hang with CK, they could have left.. it's f-ing insane.. everyone needs to take responsibility for there decisions and shut up with this and all other pointless conversations
What he did was creepy and inappropriate but it wasn't criminal. He behaved badly but there was some complicity with his "victims". There's a vast difference between him and Cosby, Weinstein because he never touched anyone physically. I don't see why he is saying he had "power", that's just kowtowing to the MeToo hysterics. All the allegation were before he got his cable show which was what catapulted his career. Before that he was a moderately successful comedian but not a "superstar" type comedian with money, fame and influence.
Point is, what he did was forgivable, people needed to accept his apology and let him go on with his career. I'm still pissed off at the cable network for cancelling his show based on this stuff, it was a severe over reaction. I could understand if he had done something criminal, but he didn't.
Dont put his jokes in this context, that's not fair
Wow so he did nothing wrong, how was this considered news in the US lol
A nobody now
Boned You still bigger than you blockhead.
Lol like I give a fuck. I'm living good
Guys that don't get a large variety of pussy when in their prime, tend to act out this way. Weirdos.
#GrabEmByThePupillaryLightReflex
I think like... what was he thinking? Sometimes i wonder what that planet is where (mainly) guys live in where it even crosses their minds to behave that way. I think it's totally just to judge that. Judging it made him and especially others who relate to him question themselves, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. We care enough about him that we judge him and it echoes. He's not a poor guy, honestly he's not. He got rich doing what he loves. He's just a very regular guy, behaviourally, what happened to be unfortunate in his position. I'm glad he's trying to improve.
@@apothecuriotf? It’s not our jobs to be mind readers. Like if a homeless guy on the street asks me for 50$ and I say yes because I’m scared, for no particular reason, that he’s gonna mug me, would I be in the right to tell a police officer I just got mugged? I mean you realize by this logic, zero men are safe, we already have trouble reading women’s emotions aside from sexual advances, you can’t expect us all to become facial expression experts just because some women are scared to say no. And to the people who say he “used his position of power”, does this mean that famous people are just not allowed to have sex with anyone who isn’t famous, because after all they might just be consenting because they feel overpowered🙄. Seriously if you have a strong stance on this explain it to me like I’m 5 years old, because I truly don’t understand the issue
Louis is the shit, so what if he goofed up a bit. Atleast he didn't do like...swim would do...and leave all his love affairs in multiple trash bags...spread across multiple dumpsters....
These bitches are killing his career to get some attention due to their lack of talent. If his actions were egregious, why wait years??? Furthermore, he DOD NOT TOUCH THEM. This is very important . He should come out and just be defiant. "I did not touch them, they liked watching me" because it's their word against his. He should then make sure these cunts never work again. The fact they waited so long is the proof it was never egregious to begin with. This is how I also knew Cosby was innocent. A rape victim doesn't wait fucking years or DECADES to come forward. Fuck them
He is good guy
We build people up and love to tear them down. Moms raise your boys the way you want to be treated. Make gun dealers and trophy hunters go away first! Don't clump master bating in as forcible rape . Many men would love women to master bate in front of them. Even weomen in power. If taken to far this could back fire on all weomen! I admire Louis C.k honisty and remorse
So where was IT...???
Not excusing Louis at all for this but these same Women will go to a stag party and have strippers wave their bits in their face and they would be fine. Society needs some consistency....
