So, what’s up with certain men thinking it’s okay to trap women and engage in such vile acts? Can someone shed light on this bizarre behavior? It seems we can officially add Louis C.K. to the unfortunate list of truly awful men in Hollywood.
The New York Times recently dropped a bombshell titled, “Louis C.K. Crossed a Line Into Sexual Misconduct, 5 Women Say.” Oddly enough, that headline feels too tame given the gravity of the allegations—five women have stepped forward with remarkably similar accounts that are just as gross as the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Let’s be clear: masturbating in front of women isn’t just “crossing a line”; it’s trampling all over it.
According to the article, in 2002, comedians Lisa Hart and Julia Blake had just wrapped up a performance at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen when Louis C.K. invited them to his hotel room for a nightcap. “As soon as they sat down, still bundled in their winter jackets, he asked if he could take out his penis,” the Times reports. The women initially thought it was a joke and laughed it off. But then, as Lisa recounted, “He really did it. He stripped down completely and started masturbating.” Julia added, “I think the line is crossed when you take all your clothes off and start doing that.” Seriously, what in the world?
Things didn’t stop there. In 2003, a woman named Jane Parker called Louis C.K. to invite him to a show, and during their conversation, she heard him masturbating on the other end. Another comedian, Sarah Dole, recounted that while filming a TV pilot with C.K. in 2005, he asked if he could masturbate in front of her. Shockingly, she said no.
C.K.’s publicist declined to comment on the allegations. However, the premiere of C.K.’s new movie, “I Love You, Daddy,” was suddenly scrapped, along with his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
It turns out, whispers of misconduct have been circulating in Hollywood for years. Back in 2012, Gawker ran a blind item about a famous comic who coerced women into watching him masturbate. In 2015, comedian Anna Wells shared on a podcast that this “very famous comic” was a known creep, adding, “There’s a lockdown on discussing him. His friends stand by him, and you can’t say anything bad.” In 2016, Rosanna Green mentioned hearing rumors about C.K. “locking the door and doing his thing in front of women comics.” And let’s not forget Tig Notaro, who has also spoken out about these allegations.
Social media seemed to be bracing for this story to break. This ongoing pattern of abuse is utterly disturbing, and it’s infuriating to see the widespread silencing and intimidation of women. Hopefully, these abusive men in Hollywood are feeling the heat, because brave women are rising up and taking them down one by one.
