After the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke, several actors’ alleged secret, unconcensual sexual acts continue to fall like dominos.
Five women accused Louis C.K. of sexual harassment. The New York Times published the claims against the comedian Thursday.
The women allege that C.K. would ask to strip naked and masturbate in front of them. Sometimes he did it regardless.
Two of the alleged victims, Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov, were a comedy duo. They told The Times that C.K. invited the two to hotel in Chicago room after finishing their first comedy show in 2002.
When they arrived at his room, the actor asked both women if he could take his penis out.
The women laughed, thinking it was a joke, until he got naked and started masturbating in a chair.
The two were visibly shocked and left when C.K. ejaculated on his stomach.
Another accuser, Abby Schachner, reportedly called the actor in 2003 to invite him to a show.
When she called him, she heard his voice was soft and his breathing heavy. She realized he was masturbating but stayed on the phone.
Rebecca Corry, comedy show producer, reported that in 2005, C.K. asked her if he could go to her dressing room with her and masturbate in front of Corry.
She immediately reported the incident to executive producers David Arquette and Courtney Cox, who considered halting production.
Corry refused and continued with the show.
The fifth alleged victim chose to remain anonymous. She told The Times that she was a producer in the 1990s for “The Chris Rock Show.”
During this time, C.K. asked her several times if he could masturbate in front of her. She agreed to, but said the interaction made her uncomfortable.
The woman said that she felt the actor abused his power.
Some of the women also feel like C.K., who routinely jokes about masturbation, uses his act as a cover up.
Some also spoke out in the past only to be shot down, but C.K.’s backlash has begun.
The actor and comedian has received backlash online in the wake of the claims.
“I Love You, Daddy,” C.K.’s upcoming film he stars in and directs, has been canceled.
