Well… here’s something you don’t see everyday.
As many of you know, comedian Louis CK is facing a number of allegations of sexual misconduct… and facing ENORMOUS consequence because of it.
He’s speaking out….
Louis CK is saying the allegations against him are TRUE.
Louis C.K. has broken his silence after he was accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by five women in a New York Times expose.
One day after those women came forward, C.K. confirmed that they were not in fact allegations in a lengthy statement.
‘I want to address the stories told to The New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not,’ said the 50-year-old comedian.‘These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my d*** without asking first, which is also true.
‘But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your d*** isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them.’
He went on to state: ‘The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions.
‘I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.’
He’s obviously a pervert… BUT I have to admit that I have so much more respect for the way he’s handling this that the “I am a GOD capable of doing NO WRONG” Weinsteins of the world.
He’s openly admitting what he did, and why it was wrong.
Is he off the hook?
No.
But still… I have to hand it to him for holding himself accountable.
