The disgraced comedian who thinks things have been forgiven and the women he abused should move on with their lives has a new problem.

Two of the women are going to file a police report and then also sue him.

Louis C.K. Accuser Speaks Out: ‘What C.K. Did Was Not Done With Consent’

One of the five women who accused Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct in a 2017 New York Times report has come forward publicly for the first time to clear up an important part of her story. Julia Wolov, one half of the comedy team Dana & Julia, wrote a piece for Canadian Jewish News this week, and its title gets right to the point: “Counterpoint: I Didn’t Consent to Louis C.K. Masturbating in Front of Me.” Wolov wrote the piece in response to an op-ed the site published from Toronto comedy-club owner Mark Breslin last week titled “Why I Brought Louis C.K. Back From the Dead,” in which he got several facts about the C.K. story wrong, most importantly the claim that the women gave C.K. their consent before he masturbated in front of them. “Contrary to Breslin’s accounting, what C.K. did was not done with consent. We never agreed nor asked him to take all his clothes off and masturbate to completion in front of us. But it didn’t matter because the exciting part for him was the fear on our faces,” Wolov writes. “Just as it must be very exciting for Breslin to be one of the only comedy clubs to book Louis C.K. and write about it in the Canadian Jewish News.” – Source

Disgraced comedian Louis CK is going on a world tour — so much for cancel culture

It’s been two years since comedian Louis CK admitted in the New York Times that the allegations of lewd behavior made about him by several women were true. He said in the statement that he planned to “step back and take a long time to listen,” but the Times reported on November 2 that the comedian is embarking on a world tour.

The tour started in Richmond, Va. and will see the comedian perform in such far-flung locations as Israel, Slovakia, and Hungary, as well as all over the United States.

These are not his first performances since running afoul of the #MeToo movement. He took the stage in August 2018 at Manhattan’s Comedy Cellar and has made other appearances since then. However, the current world tour is his most ambitious attempt yet to put his career back on track.

When he admitted to the allegations against him, Louis CK became one of the most visible symbols of “cancel culture,” in which celebrities are boycotted and lose professional opportunities in response to allegations against them. In his case, his film “I Love You, Daddy” was dropped from distribution and he lost his lead role in “The Secret Life of Pets 2.”

Now that he’s returning to the stage, it raises questions about the effectiveness of “cancel culture.” After all, is it accurate to say that he’s been “canceled” when he can wait a few months for the uproar to blow over and then go right back to performing? – Source
