I dunno, as a woman in comedy she had to have known how tough it was for the other women. Maybe do... something? Like, tell your buddy, “Can you, like, not masturbate in front of female comedians? It’s making them feel pressured to say ‘OK’ because you’re a bigger star. Keep Little Louis in the pants, please!”

Thank you for this tidbit. I didn’t know about it. For others who hadn’t heard: Laura Silverman briefly dated Louis CK, but after they broke up he would do his little masturbation shtick and she didn’t like it. She does not consider herself a victim though and shared her story to back up the others. Yikes is all I…

Great statement. The closing line, not made by Sarah, is where I’m left disappointed.

Done what for women? He had a lack of female writers on Daily Show for over 10 years. So a few women came out as stars (through their own hard work, determination, talent and willingness to put up with such a sexist industry), that doesn’t have anything to do with male comics laughing off and hiding what Louis did to…

No, I meant more like denouncing sexual predators and inviting a couple of the comics Louis exposed himself to onto The Daily Show to offer them support and a place to expose Louis (so he didn’t get to be the one doing all of the exposing!).

How could he, a member of the American comedy elite for decades and host of his own comedy show (that reached millions of people for over 15 years), do anything to fix the misogynistic culture in comedy? You’re acting like he had the power to influence people, or something! He’s only a man.

He hasn’t sexually assaulted anyone (that we know of). He’s in an age appropriate relationship (which is sadly something we have to give men pats on the backs for). He plays guitar and sings (OK, that CAN be sexy sometimes). That is really all it takes in 2017. I can’t knock this guy just because men have set the bar…

*300's at least (probably in the thousands by now, who knows...)

Yeah, those lyrics I was not aware of when I was a 14-year-old fan who didn’t listen to entire albums and pay attention to how disgusting men are. Luckily in my 20s a bunch of women blogs popped up and I became more “awake.”

I didn’t learn about that until after his death in that Jezebel post by Jia Tolentino. I also got to learn that another rockstar I loved when I was 14 was raping 14-year-olds back in his glory days. Both Iggy & David have been dead to me since. Don’t even want to watch Labyrinth with my son — I bet David put moves on…

Thank you so much. And yes, that is my only “positive” take away from this experience is that I will always believe survivors, no matter how “crazy” their claims seem. I will also never minimize someone’s pain as others did to me (“But you guys were, like, married? It wasn’t actual rape! It’s not that big of a…

Luckily it was just on the Internet and this person doesn’t depend on your support. Let it be a lesson that prepared you for real life experiences where actual survivors might really need you to believe.

I believe the victim, as I always do and so far no regrets on always believing. Nothing in George’s statement causes me to doubt claims, if anything it makes me believe more.

JESUS CHRIST. I should not be online any longer. I will never sleep well again.

Thank you. I needed a chuckle before bed. I was thinking we needed a ‘bag’ for all of these stories hours ago. Glad you got the names ready to choose from!

Now THAT is funny. Haven’t laughed at his comedy in years, but this is hilarious. 😁

What a horrific thing to have had happen and to not have any support from your boyfriend? Wow. Sometimes the thing that hurts most about my assault is remembering the reaction of loved ones I told. Most were supportive, but there were a few “loved” ones who were about as helpful as this shithead producer boyfriend.

Good for her. If you can afford to say “Fuck off, fuck you!” to the man, do it. Do it for yourself, do it for the children, do it for us all.

And let’s not forget women got this whole movement going to make it that much easier for men to speak out.
