HBO has dropped his content, and the stars of i love you daddy have cancelled all upcoming press.
And horrifying, scary, disturbing, upsetting, scarringâŚ
Letâs not downplay it by pretending it would be a pathetic scene just because of what he looks like/who he is.
Iâve never really been a fan of Louis CK but I always thought it was refreshing how open minded and accepting he was. Such a shame he has turned out to be an awful creep
Yeah. There are a lot of moments in Louie which I felt he was being really self-aware, honest and open about his own flaws and his place in a deeply flawed society. It is a shame that he has turned out to be a creepy abusive fuck.
This is the element that makes me feel most guilty personally. As Iâve said elsewhere loads of times I work under the assumption that people who have made work I admire are not necessarily (and not likely in fact) to be admirable people but when his work (in Louie, less so in standup) spoke, often so sensitively, about the flaws inherent in human beings and social issues etc itâs a very bitter pill to swallow.
Obviously though âwah wah wah, I liked a thingâ is barely even the bottom rung on this ladder of awfulness and thoughts are with the victims and their bravery at speaking out.
Imagine having the audacity to use that kind of material in your stand-up and your film when youâve been perpetuating it in real life. Absolutely staggering as to why youâd want to hurt as many people as possible.
itâs certainly quite sociopathic
Okay I did not know you could trigger breastfeeding reflexes by making baby noises.
I would be inclined to say that assuming he ââmustâ have known what would happen is a bit of a stretch, but Iâd believe anything to be possible frankly given everything thatâs coming out.
Yeah I mean, I wasnât defending him at all. I imagine if youâre a cunt then knowing you can trigger lactation would be a particularly cruel trick to have up your sleeve.
Heâs had two kids so itâs pretty likely he wouldâve known. And Kate McCormack in the video calls him out on it but he keeps doing it.
fucking hell
grim
Ah Christ, well thatâs depressing
This is a very good piece which pretty much confirms the worst fears I had for the film independent to the NY Times article:
God he annoys me no end
Could pick over this quite a lot and expose it in many different ways, but basically itâs just a super-woke iteration of the trying-to-weasel-out-of-it statement. Like what Joss Whedon said to his wife to excuse his cheating, or whatever it was.
full statement is here:
It reads to me like itâs genuine and full of contrition and remorse. All of which is rendered completely redundant by the fact that he could have issued it at any point over the last five years or however long itâs been that the rumours were rumbling. Instead he waited until it was no longer deniable and he was still active. Still very gutted.
Yeah I think its a very well worded statement from him and at least he is not denying or trying to excuse himself now. Still doesnt lessen what he has done but I think he does seem remorseful and hopefully he does step back and listen like he says
Yep. Fucking hell.
