This former A list actress who likes to pretend to the world she is progressive and is huge on feminism already had issues with her support of the sexually assaulting/serial public masturbating comedian.

Now, she closed down all of her productions and offices and told everyone to claim unemployment because she wasn’t going to pay them.

Last I checked she was worth about $40-50M.

Amy Poehler’s Improv Theater, UCB, Reports ‘Mass Layoffs’ Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

The Upright Citizens Brigade is a household name in improv comedy. Founded by Amy Poehler, Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh in New York in 1996, the founders, known as the “UCB Four” reinvented live comedy with this new theater. Now, several years later, UCB serves as a training center for up-and-coming improvisers and sketch writers.

The comedy theater has been a training ground for some of the funniest faces you now see on television. Its founders (especially Amy Poehler) are now successful, working members of the entertainment industry. They act in, write, and produce movies, television, and commercials. However, UCB couldn’t hold up under the pressure of the coronavirus outbreak. As theaters and several other public places get shuttered in New York and Los Angeles, UCB had to follow suit. Now, they’re laying off a huge chunk of their staff. – Source

Why People Want Amy Poehler And Aziz Ansari To Speak Up About Louis C.K.

In the aftermath of the Louis C.K. sexual harassment allegations, a number of celebrities have spoken out, condemning his behaviour and criticising his attempted apology.

But more noticeable than the celebs speaking out is the fact that plenty of high-profile comedians, including some of C.K.’s former collaborators, have stayed silent. Late night talk shows have had a political resurgence in the last 12 months with hosts regularly discussing heavy topical issues. But on the recent raft of sexual assault stories there have been some glaring silences, and the Louis C.K. news was no different.

While The Daily Show, Late Night With Seth Meyers and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert all discussed the allegations in some way, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Late Show With James Corden steered clear. C.K. used to write for Conan O’Brien in the early 1990s and has regularly appeared as a guest on his show. He’s also made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, and shares the same publicist with him.

There could be plenty of reasons why these comedians didn’t cover the allegations, but some commentators are pointing to the intimate nature of the entertainment industry as part of the problem.

Two comedians in particular have been singled out for not saying enough about Louis C.K.: Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari.

Why Are They Responsible?

C.K. is managed by a well-known talent firm called 3 Arts Entertainment. His manager, David Becky, also represents Ansari and Poehler and has produced shows like Master of None, Broad City and Bored to Death.

But sharing a manager obviously isn’t a crime. Part of the problem is the fact that Becky has been accused of not just knowing about the allegations against C.K. but also hushing them up.

The initial story in The New York Times that broke the news of the harassment allegations mentioned that two of C.K.’s accusers felt like they were being pressured by Becky to stay quiet. Their manager, Lee Kernis, said that Becky was “upset” the women were talking openly about the incident.

Last week The Huffington Post contacted a raft of Becky’s clients, including Ansari and Poehler, to ask them for comment on the allegations. They didn’t get a reply. The silence is particular jarring when you consider the fact that other people in the industry who have worked with C.K. continue to speak out, including Parks and Recreation producer Michael Schur, who apologised for casting him in the series (he played an earlier love interest of Poehler’s character Leslie Knope).

The criticism of Ansari’s silence is even more pointed. One journalist recently recalled an interview he had done with the Master of None star back in 2015, where Ansari brought up the show’s depiction of sexual harassment.

“I thought it was interesting that this is happening, yet so many people are unaware of it,” Ansari said. “And the problem is people aren’t talking about it. What I’ve learned, as a guy, is to just ask women questions and listen to what they have to say. Go to your group of female friends and ask them about times they’ve experienced sexism at their job, and you’ll get blown away by the things they tell you. You’ll think, ‘What the fuck? This is way darker than anything I’d imagined.’”

When the journalist responded by asking about the harassment rumours swirling around C.K., Ansari replied bluntly with “I’m not talking about that”.

Back in 2012, the now defunct website Gawker ran a story about an anonymous comedian who forced women to watch him masturbate. It’s obvious now that the story was about C.K., and it seems unlikely that the comedian’s colleagues wouldn’t have been aware of them. In 2015 Gawker actually named Louis C.K., which makes it even less likely his contemporaries were in the dark. – Source
