“I think the line is crossed when you take off your clothes and start masturbating.”
A Chicago comedian duo, Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov are among two of five women that have come out and said that Louis C.K. “crossed a line into sexual misconduct.”
The comedian, actor, writer and producer asked if he could “take his penis out” as the comedian duo sat in his room after he had invited them to chill out after a late-night show.
“I think the line is crossed when you take off your clothes and start masturbating,” said Wolov in an interview with The New York Times on the matter.
The New York Times also reports that there were incidents with three more women.
In 2003 Louis C.K. was invited to one of Abby Schachner’s shows and afterwards, during a phone conversation, she said that she could hear him masturbating as they spoke.
Another comedian, Rebecca Corry said in 2005 that while she was appearing on a teleivison show with Louis C.K., he asked her if he could masturbate in front of her, to which she declined.
The news follows a story in The Hollywood Reporter which said that Louis C.K.’s screening of ‘I Love You, Daddy’ was abruptly cancelled just hours before it was scheduled to start on Thursday night.
The event was to be held at the Paris Theatre, and will no longer take place.
Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that a “New York Times story” was about to break and had the potential to be “damaging.”
Louis C.K. wrote, directed and stars in I Love You, Daddy and the comedy-drama tells the story of a successful TV writer-producer that attempts to stop his 17-year-old daughter’s (Chloe Grace Moretz) growing admiration and relationship with a 68-year-old filmmaker (John Malkovich). The film also stars Pamela Aldon, Rose Byrne, Charlie Day, Edie Falco and Helen Hunt.
