Netflix has axed comedian Louis C.K.'s second stand up special for the streaming platform after his sexual assault SCANDAL surfaced yesterday, as reported by Variety.

A Netflix spokesperson released the following statement to announce the news.

"The allegations made by several women in The New York Times about Louis C.K.'s behavior are disturbing. Louis's unprofessional and inappropriate behavior with female colleagues has led us to decide not to produce a second stand up special, as had been planned."

This is the latest addition to C.K.'s fallout from allegations reported on Thursday. His upcoming movie, I LOVE YOU, DADDY has just been scrapped by the movie's distributor Orchard. He has also been pulled from THE LINEUP of HBO's NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS. His previous work will also be deleted off all HBO platforms. FX has also announced that his conduct is under review to see if he can continue his long standing relationship with the network.

The New York Times reported yesterday that five women have come forward to accuse the comedian of sexual misconduct. Among the women were comedians Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov.
