Five women accuse Louis CK of Sexual Misconduct

The New York Times

In an extensive report, The New York Times details the stories of five women who describe upsetting experiences with the comedian. In it, Courteney Cox and David Arquette confirm one incident. In 2005, they served as producers on a pilot in which Louis CK, a guest star, allegedly masturbated in front of one of the actresses, comedian Rebecca Corry. “What happened to Rebecca on that set was awful,” Cox said in an email to the New York Times, adding that she felt “outrage and shock.” Another woman alleged that when she worked on The Chris Rock Show, Louis CK, one of the writers, also masturbated in front of her. According to The Times, the women accusing Louis CK of sexual misconduct feared career repercussions. But his manager, Dave Becky, says he "never threatened anyone." Meanwhile, Louis CK's publicist, Lewis Kay, said "Louis is not going to answer any questions" about the allegations. (Interestingly, Lewis Kay also represents Erin Andrews, who was a victim of sexual misconduct.)
