Five women have USA Archivesaccused Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct, including multiple instances in which they say he exposed himself and masturbated in front of them, corroborating rumors that have been swirling for years, according to the latest report in The New York Times.
The comedian declined to comment on the allegations to the Times, but abruptly canceled the premiere of his film and a late-night appearance just before the story was published Thursday.
SEE ALSO: Louis C.K.'s 'I Love You, Daddy' trailer could not come at a more awkward timeOne woman in the Timesstory, Rebecca Corry, says that when she refused C.K.'s abrupt request to masturbate in front of her, she reminded him he had a wife and daughter. She said he became irate and told her he "had issues." Courteney Cox, who produced the 2005 pilot project, confirmed to the Timesthat Corry reported the incident but chose not to shut down the production.
An anonymous source told the Timesthat she allowed C.K. to masturbate in front of her, but that she later questioned it. Her story contains now-familiar echoes of those who kept silent about Harvey Weinstein, James Toback, Brett Ratner and Kevin Spacey, among the other stories of high-profile men who have been accused, in recent weeks, of sexual improprieties, harassment, and predatory misconduct.
“It was something that I knew was wrong,” she said. “I think the big piece of why I said yes was because of the culture. He abused his power.”
Earlier on Thursday, C.K.'s movie premiere for I Love You, Daddyin New York City was canceled. As that news emerged, The Hollywood Reportersaid a source hinted that the Timesstory was forthcoming.
C.K.'s colleague and fellow comedian Tig Notaro spoke to the Timesas well; C.K. is a producer on her Amazon series One Mississippibut Notaro has put space between the two of them since learning about the stories surrounding him.
"Sadly, I’ve come to learn that Louis C.K.’s victims are not only real," she said, "but many are actual friends of mine within the comedy community."
Though C.K. refused to weigh in on rumors of his alleged sexual misconduct in the past, some speculated that his upcoming film release and the storm of sexual assault and harassment allegations coming out of Hollywood this month would eventually reach him.
FX Networks -- the home of C.K.'s critically-acclaimed comedy Louieand two other shows the comedian produces, Better Things and Baskets-- issued a statement in response to the allegations Thursday afternoon.
“We are obviously very troubled by the allegations about Louis C.K. published in The New York Times today. The network has received no allegations of misconduct by Louis C.K. related to any of our 5 shows produced together over the past 8 years. FX Networks and FXP take all necessary actions to protect our employees and thoroughly investigate any allegations of misconduct within our workplace. That said, the matter is currently under review.”
