Theraflu 1,035 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 This highlights a bunch of scenes from the show that probably need to be looked at in a new light. http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2017/11/10/watching_louie_in_light_of_allegations_against_louis_c_k.html Also, I didn't watch this season, but Girls apparently did an episode that was basically one of these stories, just not naming him.

frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Louie just admitted it's all true. This might bring down half of Hollywood before it's over. This is the sentiment that's making me batshit crazy. Can we talk about how it affects workplace behavior? I've received inappropriate behavior in every job I've had. Yeah, I didn't quit outright, but I did moderate hours put in and overall effort expended. Instead of mourning Louis' career, I have pity for him. Those stories were around, and I'm telling you, he limited the scope of people in his orbit. Comedy is a meat grinder of jokes not used, and backbiting egos. When you act like this, you are closing yourself off from brilliant women who just want to do the work. IDGAF if there is criminal intent, or civil charges, etc. Jen Kirkman famously decided not to tour with him. I don't hear that story in the "everyone knew" context; more that she was willing to not expand her career at a critical time. It's not enough to get your friends like Chris Rock or Pamela Adlon to write jokes--an A-list, wealthy, famous comedian will always need people to keep him out of his head. He ****ed up his career in a way that isn't attached to the negative association with dick waving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
