After first being reported on by Gawker sub-site Defamer in 2015, The New York Times broke the story in November of 2017. Prior to the New York Times story breaking, the New York premiere of Louis C.K.’s film I Love You Daddy, which featured characters miming masturbation in front of others, was cancelled.

History

On March 19th, 2012, Gawker[1] published a story saying they had received tips from several sources a that a prominent comedian liked to trap women in hotel rooms and masturbate in front of them. Though they did not mention C.K. by name, they did call the unnamed comedian “our nation’s most hilarious stand-up comic and critically cherished sitcom auteur,” suggesting they may have known it was Louis C.K. On May 15th, 2015, Gawker sub-site Defamer[2] published a conversation a fan had with Louis C.K. over email in which the fan asked the comedian to stop masturbating in front of women. Louis C.K. then offered to call and talk to this fan, and the fan described the conversation they had as “non-substantive” and that C.K. was trying to find out what exactly he knew (screenshots of their email conversation shown below).



Developments

On November 9th, The Hollywood Reporter[3] reported that the New York premier of C.K.‘s upcoming film, I Love You Daddy, had been cancelled and that C.K.’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert had been cancelled as well in advance of a story about C.K. due to appear in The New York Times. The New York Times[4] story was published later that afternoon.

The story has accounts from five women who claimed C.K. had masturbated in front of them. The story begins by telling the story of comedy duo Dana Min Goodwin and Julia Wolov, who were invited to C.K.‘s hotel room in Aspen, Colorado after opening for C.K. at the US Comedy Arts Festival in 2002. According to their account, C.K. asked if he could show the duo his penis, then proceeded to take off all his clothes and begin masturbating. The story also quotes Abby Schachner, Rebecca Corry, and an anonymous fifth woman who have had similar experiences with C.K. Schachner alleges that C.K. began masturbating while on a phone call with her without her consent. Corry alleges that C.K. asked if he could take her to his dressing room and masturbate in front of her, and she refused. The anonymous fifth woman says she consented to C.K.’s request to watch him masturbate because she was afraid of C.K.’s power and influence.
