    This could go on for years. Years and years of allegations toward male entertainers. In my mind, I'm trying to think of who wouldn't be suspected of it.

    I am then reminded Tom Cruise somehow gets routine work, and he's the face of a cult.

    Eh, a couple of years ago it wasn't that bad.

    I'll be really bummed about this one if it turns out to be what it seems to be.

    I don't know that it will end his career. It might. But it's very bad. Tig Navarro finally going on the record that she felt he used her for cover, Courtney Cox and David Arquette acknowledging that they were made aware of what happened in a show they produced...

    Part of what makes these things stick is when other celebs stand up and acknowledge it happened, which is why Ashley Judd was the lead in the Weinstein story, even though what happened to her isn't nearly as bad as what happened to so many others. It's much harder to attack the credibility of another famous person than it is an non-famous accuser, sadly.

    “Louis is not going to answer any questions,” his publicist said. "His hands are full right now."

    So you're telling me a guy who constantly jokes about perverted things is actually a strange pervert? Shocking.

    One of the comments:

    What a long article to say that Louis CK is a perv who never threatened anyone or did anything that he was not given permission to do.

    He asked if he could masturbate in front of women and some said yes, some laughed and did not say no, and some said no. I do not see where he did anything but make a fool of himself.

    Should I lose my lofty view of comedians as the arbiters of social norms?

    He never "grabbed" anyone, unlike Donald Trump.

    Louis CK is better at exposé than the Times.
