I’m pretty sure everyone learns in Not Law School that it’s not defamation if you say “alleged,” and also that certified letters are basically magic.
So in the five years of gawker single-handedly (pun intended) keeping these rumors alive, no one else has felt emboldened to come out?
Kirkman did not accuse CK of doing that, and when Gawker tied her statements about an unnamed comic doing something else to gawker’s rumor, Kirkman said that that wasn’t true.
Has anyone said that?
Is it a crime where this happened, under the circumstances under which it happened, assuming it happened?
Yeah, it’s hella creepy and gross.
It’s not a technicality if there’s no law against it.
I got a community notification for this?
It is indeed a very stupid thread. And I agree. Fuck kinja.
What state’s sexual misconduct statute did he break? Was he in that state at the time?
1. THEYRE THE ONES WHO MADE IT A WIDELY REPORTED ALLEGEATION.
Gawker started a rumor about it, and attributed it to CK.
She said it wasn’t him. I thought we were supposed to believe the survivors. Here, the survivor has explicitly said it’s not Louis ck.
Ironically, a huge circle jerk without Jen kirkman’s consent.
Apparently. I can read what she said, which is that she’s repeating allegations that have been leveled and talked about for years, and that she doesn’t have first hand knowledge about them. That doesn’t require mind reading. It’s normal reading.
Maybe? It depends on the state, circumstances around the incident, etc. Generally, criminal law requires more coercion than Jezebel/Tumblr “law” for something to be a crime. “He whipped it out and I was uncomfortable” probably wouldn’t be enough in most states. As in the famous Jones v. Clinton case, there’s no harm…
It’s totally plausible, and if anyone makes an accusation with any degree of specificity, I’ll probably believe it, and, depending on other circumstances (I.e., whether he’s just a creep or a criminal), I’ll probably stop watching his show and his specials.
