will no-one think of louis' bank balance
Louis C.K. is using the stand-up stage to open up about his controversial year.During a stand-up set last week, the comedian, 51, reportedly addressed the multiple sexual misconduct allegations that have been made against him.While performing at West Side Comedy Club in New York City, the Louie star opened his set with “It’s been a weird year,” according to Laughspin.com, an online comedy news site.“He said he’s been to hell and back,” a comedian on the line-up told the website.He also addressed both the public and professional backlash he faced in the wake of the allegations. FX severed ties with C.K., whose shows Louie and Better Things aired on the network, after the scandal broke. C.K. was dropped by all his reps, too, while Netflix canceled an upcoming stand-up special and HBO cut all of his content from its library. Orchard also canceled the release of his film I Love You, Daddy — though C.K. bought the rights to the title back.“I lost $35 million in an hour,” he reportedly said during the set.

explicitly not defending, after saying when they were 19 and he asked to wank in front of her sometimes she said "sure" and sometimes she said "no" and they would go and get pizza

she went on Howard and said she let Louis jerk off in front of her sometimes and sometimes told him to fuck off and it was never a big deal because they were on equal footing or something and he couldn't offer her anything. then one of the accusers tweeted at SS that she was also an equal/Louis had nothing to offer her and that doesn't excuse it (not that SS ever said that). then SS apologized. so, nothing
― flappy bird, Thursday, 25 October 2018 17:43 (five years ago) link
she's known him since they were 19?! huh
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 25 October 2018 17:44 (five years ago) link
they were both standups in their teens, he's a couple of years older
to the other victim's tweet: she had said she knows that as soon as there was a power differential btwn him and the women that it was wrong, but her experience was different and she doesn't want to not consider him the friend of thirty years standing
― She Bang My Tight Tie (sic), Thursday, 25 October 2018 17:47 (five years ago) link
Why would that imbalance even be a thing?
I get that they were 'friends-plus' so fine.
But if LCK was in the presence of Margaret Thatcher, or some young intern, which one would be more indefensible? "Hey, would you mind if I....?"
― Mark G, Thursday, 25 October 2018 18:16 (five years ago) link
who wouldn't wank in front of Thatcher, TBH

also being friendly with people you work with doesn't mean it's automatically cool to jack your tiny dick in front of them

I just can't fathom the mentality that would lead to asking a friend if it was okay to jerk off in front of them (regardless of gender, orientation or power dynamic), I mean just... waht

^^^ i think i mentioned it itt already but this just happened to a bunch of friends of mine in the comics industry - the piece of shit in question sued them all for libel and also sued the women who accused him. seeking something like 22 million in damages for lost work opportunities due to the damage to his reputation (nb he is basically a zine publisher)
