Today, Louis C.K. finally put out a statement about his troubling behavior, which was exposed in an article by the New York Times. While this piece was the first real acknowledgment of his alleged misconduct, many women have bravely shared their experiences for years, only to feel silenced by him.
The fallout began after the Harvey Weinstein scandal, where a much more powerful figure faced serious repercussions for his actions. It was clear to C.K. that his time was up; his upcoming film premiere was canceled, and he pulled out of an appearance on a late-night talk show. Initially, his team had no response, but now, he’s ready to address the situation.
“I want to discuss the stories shared by several women, including Abby, Rebecca, Dana, and Julia, who came forward, as well as one who chose to remain anonymous. These accounts are accurate. At the time, I convinced myself that my actions were acceptable because I never exposed myself without consent, which is also true. However, I’ve come to realize that when you hold power over someone, asking them to look at your genitals isn’t really a question; it’s a dilemma for them. The admiration they had for me gave me an irresponsible power.”
Wait, really? You think it’s acceptable behavior just because you asked, “Can I show you my penis?” And you thought it was okay to completely undress and start pleasuring yourself in front of women who viewed you as a colleague?
“I’ve felt remorseful and tried to learn from my mistakes, but I only understood yesterday how damaging my actions were. I left these women, who looked up to me, feeling ashamed and cautious around other men who wouldn’t have put them in that situation. I exploited the admiration I received in our community, making it harder for them to share their truths because people didn’t want to believe them.”
You honestly believe your “position” excused your behavior? So, when a comedian named Sarah reached out to invite you to one of her shows, and you decided to start masturbating on the phone, you thought that was okay? It’s baffling how someone who built a career on honesty could make such excuses.
“There’s nothing I can forgive myself for, and I need to come to terms with that. I wish I had been a better role model and offered guidance as a fellow comedian.”
Honestly, you didn’t need to be a “role model.” You simply had to not expose yourself or make those women uncomfortable. It’s not rocket science. Women navigate these situations without resorting to predatory behavior every day.
“I’ve caused pain to my family, friends, and children. I’ve spent my long career saying whatever I wanted, but now I plan to take a step back and listen.”
You’re not stepping back to listen; you’re watching your career crumble. Just like you ignored the suffering of those women, you’ll watch everything you built vanish.
This whole situation is disappointing, and it’s frustrating that you want to be seen as honest after years of manipulation. The truth is, you were never decent; you abused your power and now face the consequences.
