I never knew that, but that makes a difference.

I just think there's a lot of similar cases where people bring out their torches and pitchforks before there's really any proof, and that's principally a bad thing.

Who the hell needs their comedians to be good people? Good people aren't funny.

A little refresher course. None of the women who came out with these accusations found his behavior acceptable. All were quite upset about it. None felt comfortable speaking out about it until much later. This is wrong and sad.

It's not necessarIly about that. It's the perception you have of that person. I wouldn't be able to watch Louis CK and just forget about it. I understand that you have to separate the personal lives and the private lives but this is an exception.

You wouldn't be able to watch the Cosby show without thinking about his felony.

Terrible analogy. Louis is actually funny, the Cosby show is not.

Bill Cosby's whole schtick was on being the most wholesome man on the planet. Louis' persona is as a dirty schlub who's bad at life. One of these people shattered the illusion while the other actually reinforced it.

Got it. So his personality is an excuse for his behavior toward women. Just making sure we're on the same page.
