This is just like one big Louis C.K. joke https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/arts/television/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct.html?referer=

I was involved in several Louis C.K. projects back in the day. I believe these allegations...and I'm glad my friend had a way to "get out of the situation"....

This was one of those, "worst kept secrets," amongst the female comedians at Second City when I took classes there. I believed them, but a LOT of straight guys would defend their hero saying, "They're just rumors."

Obviously nothing to defend here but this doesn't seem like a career killer between the fact that none of these stories are recent and that he didn't actually touch anyone. Again not saying it's right but when you compare it the Spacey stuff and others his career might actually survive. He doesn't deserve to have it happen though. 

I chuckled at this though lol...

HBO has severed ties and removed all Louis C.K. specials etc off their streaming platform.

Yeah obviously all these companies are gonna make the best business decisions for themselves right now but I don't think this is something he can't come back from. I don't really care though if he does or doesn't though. 

I do believe all these stories especially knowing his comedy but at the same time I think it's interesting how innocent until proven guilty is completely thrown out nowadays.

He's admitted the allegations are true.

I was once excoriated on this OT message board for suggesting that this behavior is very commonplace among men in positions of power.  I went there after the Access Hollywood footage of Trump's braggadocio.  My position remains the same.  This behavior is part of the DNA of men over 40 in the US with  power over others within their spheres of influence.  And from what I've gleaned from my travels outside the US, the situation is a helluva lot worse in the so-called 2nd and 3rd worlds.  I'm happy that there's a sea change of sentiment underway in the US liberating victims of sexual assault to come out with their stories and seek justice.

Good one Javero, good on us America.  Creeps need to be exposed.
