Sarah Silverman used to let Louis C.K. masturbate in front of her, she told Howard Stern in an interview on Monday.
While C.K. has been somewhat eviscerated for doing the same thing to other women, as per a New York Times story last year which he later admitted to, Silverman said she let the comic masturbate in her presence consensually when they were in the early part of their careers.
“Listen, I don’t know if I’m going to regret saying this, but I’ve known Louis forever. I’m not making excuses for him — please don’t take this that way,” Silverman told Stern, according to a transcript from Vulture. Read more…

Just months after they were publicly exposed, the men of #MeToo would like to announce that they’ve served their sentences on their time out stools, and are ready to return to the playground.
The list is long. Garrison Keiller, accused of “dozens of offenses” over a period “of years,” plans to bring back two of his radio shows, and public access to his past shows have been reopened. (Oh, and he’s on tour.) Meanwhile, Matt Lauer, who not only harassed women but also allegedly assaulted at least one of them, has reportedly left his Hamptons mansion-cell and is ready to rejoin society — he’s been seen lunching in Manhattan. Mario Batali is supposedly “eyeing his second act” after reportedly abusing multiple women over the years, whether by harassing or physically groping them. Read more…

Louis C.K. has responded to allegations of sexual misconduct brought by five women in the New York Times. Their accounts, C.K. confirms, are true.
In the lengthy statement, C.K. acknowledges misusing his power in the comedy community, saying he didn’t think he did anything wrong at the time – but that he has since come to understand why what he did was abusive.
“The hardest regret to live with is what you’ve done to hurt someone else,” C.K. wrote.”And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them.”
