Edge @ 9/11/2017 15:40 I dunno but I don't think I'd want Louis CK blocking a hotel doorway while masturbating and refusing me exit from the room. Did he do that?

Does it matter? Him masturbating at people who are (and rightly so) uncomfortable should be problematic enough.

yeah, with a gerbil because someone flashed their lights at him

In fact I didn't even bother reading what he's actually being called out for this time because I just assumed it was the doorway jerkin' that has been whispered about for years in the comedy world.

One accuser said she was on a business call with him, and sounded like he was masturbating on the other end.

The other two were at his hotel after a comedy set, and he got naked and masturbated in front of them.

Eh, what's the problem? He has deep issues but is pretty open about it with his self deprecating humor, and asks beforehand.

just in case it's news, "asking beforehand" is only the first step

And "cease action" is the only second step if asking results in a no.

Not casual doorway masturbation.

"Whew, that was a good show. Listen, I'm gonna take a quick shower and then pop out here and crank one out while looming in the doorway like a hunched gargoyle, you cool with that?"

It's something he has been accused of on more than one occasion by fellow female comedians prior to all of this current stuff.

Source? I didn't remember seeing that in the times article

I mean I've seen no evidence he forced anyone to watch or anything like that

Google it, it's something I've heard brought up for years. Tig Notaro I believe is one of the accusers.

Here's an article from last year that might have something about it in it.

The forcing to watch is implied when you're blocking a doorway with your dick in your hand. But no, I don't think he has been accused of tying anyone down or holding them at gunpoint. Just cockpoint.

To be fair the places I've heard it mentioned were mostly on other comedian's podcasts and, whether they were just trying to curry or keep favor with him, they would say "doesn't sound like the Louis we know." But the stories have been there, circulating.

gosh, so maybe this complaint is actually a compliment?

Again, there was no mention in the NYT article of him blocking the door. If there were reputable accusations of that I believe they would have posted it, as that's a pretty serious charge. Until we see it I'm going to hold judgment. What he did was gross and over the line, but it's nowhere near as bad as Cosby/Weinstein/Spacey

Not saying it was, but those three set the bar almost impossibly high.
