Whatever, you guys still have Max on board! He’ll be able document everything with his tiny camera even though there is a fullblown camera crew right the fuck there.

Where did you find his first draft? I thought he deleted it.

Not to parse every sentence, but I don’t think he was saying their admiration for him made him think it was okay. He was just saying that their admiration for him created a power imbalance he claims he didn’t perceive. He thought it was okay because he created a fiction that suggested that if he asked for and received…

Yeah, I think its okay to commend him finally owning it publicly but that does not clean him of the years of abuse and gaslighting. Its definitely better than Piven’s atrocious statement but that is an easy hurdle to clear.

On the whole, I agree with everything you said. But, he has at least stopped calling these women liars. There is something in that. It is a very low bar - but name one of the assholes currently accused of clearing that bar.

Also, he tries to somewhat justify it because he asked first?? Uhhh if you ask and the person says no, but you pull out your dick anyway, then that doesn’t make it “consensual.” It just confirms that you assaulted them.

I don’t get the PRAISE for this apology that I am seeing here, there and everywhere on social media. CK issued a good apology because he was already outed, after years of gaslighting the public about these “ridiculous!!!!” claims and maybe blacklisting a woman comedian who said they were true? Fuck all that noise.…

Except he never uses the word sorry. Remorseful, yes, but not “I’m sorry.”

A hefty FU to the multitudes of Gawker/Jezebel readers who flooded my comment a year or two ago angry because I said this guy’s brand of anti-sexist anti-racist comedy was itself sexist, racist and not particularly funny. I believed the rumors from the start. Also, as a man myself, believe me when i say C.K. is a…

Is it just me, or does this come across as weirdly narcissistic?

Two good tweets I’ve read on the matter:

I always get uncomfortable when late night hosts address sexual abuse stories and then end with a joke. You don’t see that nearly as much as when they are talking about a mass shooting or some other horrific act. It seems like when they decide to throw a joke in that they are diminishing the seriousness of these…

Good. A broken hip often marks the beginning of the end for a lot of older folks. It’s the nudge onto a downward spiral of fractures, hospitalizations, infections, nursing homes, bed sores, pneumonia, to eventual death.

1,944 percent? Wouldn’t you just be a giant set of eyelashes with tiny dangling legs? Or am I just terrible at mathematical concepts?

Whatever your journey is, I wish you continued peace and healing. You deserve your peace, and fuck anyone if they try to take any part of that away from you.

Thank you for the post. Jezebel pursued an open secret story inside of an industry that’s incredibly male dominated and where misogynist views (women aren’t and can’t be funny) still exist. The nature of CK’s comedy added icky complexity to the endeavor. Strong CK defenders (outside the comedy world) are to CK what…

I don’t think its uncommon for family members to stand by each other. Nicki didn’t commit the crime or did she testify for her brother. We should leave her alone.

I’ve kind of avoided this story for triggering personal reasons, so this is the first time I’ve read it. I’m crying for what that girl and her family have been put through. I hope they find peace and healing.

I got it mixed up with the other paper that broke a story about a famous man being accused of sexual misconduct. Me culpa. My point stands, though, and your (and Jezebel’s) attempt to deflect from that point based on a trivial mistake is frankly pure cowardice.

I want Pale Blue Dot please.
