Your support makes all the difference.A group of women gathered outside Louis CK’s stand-up show in Tel Aviv, Israel, to protest against his appearance following the allegations of sexual misconduct made against him.
One of their signs read "I don't want to see your d**k” and another said "Don't legitimise sexual violence".
In 2017, The New York Times published an exposé including accusations from multiple women that CK exposed himself and masturbated in front of them. CK later admitted the sexual misconduct.
In a statement, he said: “These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was OK because I never showed a woman my d**k without asking first, which is also true.
“But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your d**k isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them.”
One month after the allegations came to light, CK staged a controversial comeback show. He sometimes addresses the misconduct during comedy sets.
