Do you know anything specific?

Will certainly be gutted if it turns out to be true.

The rumours are that he targeted upcoming female comics (who he was in position of power over thanks to his prominence in the comedy world) and sexually harassed them, getting his dick out and masturbating in front of them when they rejected his advances. He's denied the rumour the few times he's been asked them, saying they're not true and he doesn't want to talk about it because replying to lies just makes them spread further.

I read about an hour ago that Doug Stanhope said the rumours were about him and he's the one who wanked in front of female comics, but that was just in a comment section somewhere without reference so idk.

The subject matter for Louis CK's latest movie has to be the most ill timed thing ever.

Be interesting to see how this stand up buddies like Seinfeld and Jon Stewart react if the story contains serious allegations.

Yup. He even rushed the editing so he could get its first screening just over a month ago.

The subject matter is the media industry, and even has a woody allen character (alleged pedophile director) - for those that don't know.
 
Am I right in thinking the Mariah one was her just standing there provocatively and calling him some names? It's getting a bit silly now.
 
Fecking hell not Louis C.K

Generally gutted because I’m a huge fan. Jesus Christ.
 
It's a self funded film too, most likely through a bank loan like Horace and Pete. So if it's what is rumoured he's probably in financial ruins.

Good.

Always sucks when it someone you used to like.
 
Then again, Polanski's been working all these years.

If the Polanski stuff happened now his career would be over. My guess is he won't be getting much work from now on.

Ah man.. I hope Dave Chappelle is not next.

Him.and Jeff bridges are the last of my favorite people untouched by sex allegations now.
 
Well that's all perfectly horrible.
 
I remember reading about the Wolov/Goodman thing a few years ago. It seemed like such an innocent (relatively speaking) thing to accuse someone of, so I had no trouble believing it. Kind of stopped liking him after that.

On another note: Was talking to someone who's a massive Spacey fan earlier, and she basically went "he didn't actually do anything wrong, flirting with minors isn't illegal" and "it's strange that all of this is coming out now". Oh, and the classic "are people going to be charged with sexual assault for trying to flirt now?"

Speaking of Jim, he did a sketch in fully functional regarding two women coming back to the hotel with another big name comedian. Sounds eerily similar to Louis C.K. now
 
I'd imagine Comedians are the absolute worst of this demographic - Emotionally vulnerable attention seekers who are constantly on the road.

Chris Rock once propositioned my missus right in front of me.
 
I guess the logical conclusion you can draw from that is it must work sometimes. Just whipping it out, I mean. Bizarre.

Chris Rock did that? I thought highly of him but that's very disappointing.
 
Gawker published quite a few articles hinting that some of these creeps were up to no good.

Knowing what we do know, you have to wonder what the true intentions were of those like Peter Thiel whose mission it was to shut them down.

Its very normal for people who tour - whether its a musician, rapper, comedian etc - to do their show and then find a girl for the evening, whether its a fan, groupie, or just some random hot girl they come across. That's why they call it the rock star lifestyle.
