    Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that Louis C.K. has never made any tangible steps to make amends with the women he abused and yet he still goes on podcasts and talks about how the reporting on his sexual misconduct damaged his life and reputation as though he is the true victim

      I have seen him on a few podcasts talking about his shame and steps he has taken to realise the full impact of what he did and how he has changed

        Your comment does seem to confirm TheBlindPew’s point, that it’s all about him. Did he apologize to the women?

      Crazy how many people below you are defending this piece of shit and regurgitating the lies he’s spread over the years. It’s just pathetic.

      Can’t recommend this series enough, does it need to be over 5hrs, not really, but it does paint a very thorough picture of the whole timing of Louie’s misconduct and his response to being exposed

        Can you summarize it? I’m interested, but watching a five hour YouTube series is something I will never do at any point in my life.

          Basically compares the allegations as detailed in the initial reporting with jokes, podcast, and radio appearances that Louis has done in the past as well as his actions and statements after the allegations were made public. And the obviously biased and very condensed version i can give you is that there are several stories he told on opie and anthony about events that bear enough resemblance to the allegations to determine that there are likely more victims who have never come forward and never been recognized and that Louis has been working to minimize how this negatively impacts him without ever going so far as to actually try to make amends with the women he abused.

          If you are tempted to watch some I’d say start at the beginning and around the first time you catch yourself thinking “this fucking guy” after a clip of Louis telling a “funny” story on a podcast back before the allegations came out, then you’ve got the gist and the rest of it is just stacking more receipts

    I guess I watched a different special. I chuckled a few times but thought he was a shadow of his former self.
