Louis CK confirms the accusations are true.
Quote:
"At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true,” C.K. writes. “But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question, it’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.”
Well that's a shitty thing for sure, it's inexcusable behaviour, and I suspect it pretty much means the end of his career, it's hard to imagine his material working now, or indeed him getting away with performing it.
He seems genuinely sorry about it and maybe he's dealt with a lot of stuff since he did those things, but I'm hard pushed to think of any situation where asking a woman if you can get your dick out and wank in front of her is anything other than atrocious.
I hope history doesn't get rewritten though, and his work to date effectively be removed from existence. (Not that I can imagine there being any fresh work from him in the future, which seems appropriate.)
