That isn't my language, it's what the women said. They were all comics/writers/etc and not just women he was picking up.I'm pretty sure most of these happened when Louis was just a road comic in the 00's. He wasn't Chewed Up Louis CK, he was some nobody redhead road-dog going from town to town.
Here are the incidents described by the newspaper:
- Comedy duo Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov say they met C.K. in 2002 at his hotel room, together, after their show at the Aspen Comedy Festival. They thought he was joking when he asked if he could, as the Times puts it, "take out his penis." Then he stripped naked and masturbated while the two women sat "paralyzed," Goodman told the Times. They told people about the incident (later described in a famous Gawker blind item) but felt pressure from C.K.'s powerful manager to fall silent, they told the newspaper.
- Comedian Abby Schachner called C.K. to invite him to a show and he started describing sexual fantasies and breathing heavily, she told the newspaper. Years later C.K. messaged her to apologize for the conversation ending in "a sordid fashion," according to a message seen by the Times.
- Comedian Rebecca Corry said C.K. asked if he could masturbate in front of her in her dressing room. She said no, and C.K. told her he "had issues," she told the Times. That incident was confirmed by Courtney Cox and David Arquette, the Times reports.
- A woman who wished to remain anonymous said she worked on the Chris Rock show while C.K. was a producer there, and that C.K. repeatedly asked her to watch him masturbate; she agreed. The encounter happened in his office during the workday. She described the experience as an abuse of C.K.'s power.
He was still fairly famous then but these all are clearly minor things that some of the women expressly agreed to and only had "regret" once Louis became much more famous decades later. It's also not surprising that all of these "came to light" when Louis CK started going after Ticketmaster and video distribution services, a massive coincidence. Once of the incidents is literally "He asked, I said no, he apologized".
Jim Norton described doing worse than this on broadcast radio and still threw Louis to the wolves.
