Louis C.K. admits sexual misconduct allegations are true

He's going to ruin public wanking for everyone.

I'm glad that he openly admits it, at least, without blaming the women. That's...something. That's a start.

"Its a predicament for them." Fuck you, sir. What you did is not a 'predicament.' Its fucking sexual assault.

Part of me wonders if this confession is part of his...exposure fetish.

Maybe he'll turn it into a monologue. About how it feels to masturbate in front of women who don't want you to.

He asked if he could take his cock out, they consented, so its ok. Well that's what he decided to hang his hat on. He knew that the answer would most likely be yes. He knew it was a fucked up thing to ask people when he got a "no" and he turned beet red and admitted he had a problem. He picked out his targets, he's a smart enough guy to both select those who would be vulnerable and then rationalize it as ok. He asked permission, they said yes. Because a no might mean their career, their future, the value of their word because they would not be believed. Because of the implication.


It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - The "Implication"

Did they even necessarily say yes? I thought they awkwardly laughed thinking it was a joke. He rounded that up to a yes.

That's a gonna one hell of a defense if theres a civil suit or charges are filed. "Females and gentlemen of the jury, my client is really only guilty of a rounding error. In what I consider to be an act of honesty, my client simply wanted to avoid misleading precision. "

I imagine even if they said yes, that the request is so outlandish, that they probably were just going along with what they assumed to be a joke and not serious. But thankfully, I wasn’t there.

"As soon as they sat down in his room, still wrapped in their winter jackets and hats, Louis C.K. asked if he could take out his penis, the women said.

They thought it was a joke and laughed it off. "

Well that's about the best that that situation could be handled, no excuses or calling anyone liars or sluts.

So, uh, guys, do any of you actually want to jerk it to women who don't want you to jerk it to them? I don't get it.

That's a VR porn niche if i ever heard of one. You don the helmet and just wank in different enviroments while people look at you disgusted and dissapointed.

Produce section in different kind of grocery stores (Bodega, Local Super Market, Whole Foods), parking lot of a YWCA or womans shelter, backseat of a minibus for a church choir group going through a drive through, airplane seat in different classes(Economy, Business, First, Cockpit, Luggage hold), airport luggage carousel, the zoo, the backseat of a minibus for a recovering alcoholics support group going through a drive through safari.

There are a lot of options.

Sure, but that's why porn was invented.

Pretty sure the women involved know that's what's up, unless you're talking about the fappening.

It's just rape-lite. Same power structure/dynamic I would imagine.

Every case is unique, but if Louis is basically a flasher, then the impetus does come from feeling like a loser, but he targets people he figure he can get away with exposing himself to because of his stature.

Fuck no, but Louis C.K apparently loves it.

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/times-louis-joked-masturbation-article-1.3622478

Yeah, it's not just him, though. Seems to be rather prevalent. I don't know what the fuck's going on or how to react to it.

Just keep your pants zipped.

Yeah, I've got that one. I'm just starting to wonder about the rest of you fuckers.

The internet has taught me that some dudes are really into, filming themselves in public and holding out for that unicorn (or a “win”) that is okay with it and would participate.

There is at least one public baiter out there who met his current girlfriend in one of his “pick up a hitchhiker” session.

These men have spent years being paid millions to be watched perform, which must effect their self-perception. The difference between jerking it to millions on stage and in a hotel room to a few is the FCC?

I can't imagine doing so under any circumstances. I don't think I would be physically able. Like flashing- no appeal whatsoever in having someone looking at my naked body and reacting with revulsion.

If they want to see it and request it, maybe. But i really don't think anyone wants to see that. Not even me.

You missed the amazing Ray Moore article - http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/alabama-state-auditor-defends-roy-moore-against-sexual-allegations-invokes-mary-and-joseph/article/2640217

all of the Republicans have said 'If It' True" statements condemning him. The big question is will conservative media rally around him with the "Fake New" claims...and depending on how that goes will Alabama Republicans invalidate his name on the ballot...because his name will be on the ballot...to late to take it off. And I'll bet money ol' holy Roy ain't going to quit.

Fox News host Sean Hannity dismisses Roy Moore's sexual misconduct allegations by saying it was 'consensual'

Well so far they aren't saying "Fake News" they are saying...so what.

Basically "It's okay, he was just grooming the fourteen year olds, he didn't try to fuck them until after their sixteenth birthday"

The bible bit doesn't surprise me, scum have been using that ancient bit of work to justify every disgusting impulse you could think of.

Good luck proving it 30+ years after the fact.

Sorry... But something smells about this one and though I'm no fan of Moore, I'm more suspicious of shit like this happening right before an election as I think many should be.

Anyone celebrating and wishing for his take down is also celebrating that a 14 year old was potentially assaulted.

It seems more like it's happening in the wave of a number of women coming out together to speak up against sexual violence done to them in the past they were too afraid to speak of before.

There is never just one. If He did this then he does this now.

Is there ever a non suspicious time to accuse someone of molesting a child? Roy is rolling with the punches though and using it fundraise. So if wishing and celebrating for his take down is celebrating the potential assault of a child, what does that say about Roy Moore who is monetizing it?

Monetizing against what just could be a big lie? He has that right.

He also has the right to sue in civil court post election.

Innocent until proven guilty. But that's just in regards to the court. The currency of politics is trust, and shares of Roy Moore are in heavy flux. Yes there are incidences of hoaxes , and it is a fucked up thing because of the knock on effects on legitimate cases. They tend to be outliers though.

Roy is in politics. The accusation is child molestation. There is never a good time for someone to be accused or to accuse someone of that, because of the nasty fights that ensue. The recent flare up in reports is because people feel safer because they don't feel so alone. Without that cover people are usually shamed into silence.

In that context, tossing out the idea that people are celebrating this as a great political boon, and that consequently they are as exploitative as child molesters is a bit fucked up. Because it wiffs of the kind of shenanigans that are used to keep people silent.

Alabama GOP lawmaker: Roy Moore accusers should be prosecuted for not coming forward sooner

Nooo !! Not Louis :(

How would you react if Louis asked if he could masturbate in front of you?

Probably with the same comment.

Great. Just throw John Oliver and John Steward in there too. I didn’t want any role models/heroes anyway

Don't forget Carl Sagan and Fred Rogers.

Don't fucking joke about Fred Rogers.

That's why I prefer fictional heroes.

Most of these people so far have not been surprises tho, besides Cosby and Weiner they were all giving off pretty intense creep vibes before they were outed. Although come to think of it, the reason I trusted Weiner was that he was besties with Jon Stewart, who vouched for him. John Oliver is as pure as the driven snow tho.

Stewart is not the best judge of character. Neither is Colbert. Comedic geniuses yes, but they would make absolutely terrible relationship gurus.

I think I could lose John Oliver, but I'd take news about John Stewart really hard.

“So what’s with most of these molesters being Jewish?” Paraphrasing Larry David’s monologue on SNL

Jewish males are overrepresented in Hollywood. I would bet money that most of molesters in banking are also Jewish.

Who do you think is next? Jack Nicholson, John Travolta, John Cusack, Quentin Tarantino, Sean Hannity, Rob Lowe, Andy Dick? I wonder if anyone has put odds up, my money is on Andy Dick.

Spoke too soon.

Andy Dick Fired From Second Movie Over Sexual Misconduct Claims

According to a termination letter obtained by THR, Dick was let go from the horror comedy 'Vampire Dad' due to "multiple, flagrant acts of improper conduct and inappropriate contact with several cast and crew members."

so why hire him in the first place? Moseley's fair answer: "We were under the assumption that he was sober" Why would anyone ever assume that?

I'm sure Andy Dick is in to some sick shit but I just get the feeling that any one he invites into a private meeting with him is already going to be expecting that. something like, hey Andy, do you think you have time to go over the script before you start masturbating with a bag of tapioca pudding or do you want me to sit here and make direct eye contact until you are done. Hannity would be my pick.

A good bet!

I would have said whoever was not paid enough money. But O’Reilly paid 32 million hush money out of his pocket and he got outed for that one. Any Dick is already next up.

Did anyone bet on George Takei?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/11/11/george-takei-sexually-assault-accusation/854433001/

Highly unlikely. The guy's very much a social activist.

I may have to quit the internet.

This one I don't believe

You have to believe it if you believe Moore's accusers.

There's the Travolta. You're good at this, Egg.

http://vt.co/entertainment/celebrity/john-travolta-accused-sexual-abuse/

To be fair these allegations paint Louis as a creep / major weirdo, but not necessarily as a predator. I think if he owns up to it and apologizes to the people he has harmed, he can still salvage some kind of reputation. Maybe that's just wishful thinking :(

Either way he needs to respond. Either admit to the accusations, deny them, or admit to some and deny others, but he has to say something.

In a decade or so, maybe. It worked for Paul Reubens.

He's admitted that the accusations were true, and admitted to abusing his authority. But fuck it. He's funny enough to forgive, eh? I didn't realize you had to be a predator to lose your career as opposed to being a weirdo and traumatizing women with "irresponsible" use of power.

If he had been doing it to peers, you'd have a point, but he was doing it to women who were effectively his employees. No, if you run a casting couch, you're a fucking rapist and can go fuck yourself.

Wait, no...

From the NYT story it seems like they were his peers. They didn't have as much stature as him in the industry but it seems like he sought out members of his peer group. The incidents are from before he had his own show as well, so definitely not employees.

This one doesn't actually surprise me.

Fish, quite the bitch it seems.

While I agree with the sentiment, the link goes nowhere

It's to force an alert on his page. Watch, eggboy
