This year is, it seems, the year of exposing inappropriate Hollywood behavior — and Louis C.K. is the latest A-lister outed for his inexcusable conduct. After The New York Times detailed allegations about Louis [1] from five women, the comedian issued a statement [2] confirming that the stories of his sexual harassment are true. FX [3], HBO [4], and Netflix [5] subsequently severed ties with Louis, the comedian was dropped by his team of representatives [6], and I Love You, Daddy (his film slated to release Nov. 17) was scrapped by its production company [7]. So why, then, are so few celebrities speaking out about the scandal?
While many stars reacted to the Harvey Weinstein reports [8] and the allegations against Kevin Spacey [9], social media has been relatively quiet following the revelations about Louis C.K. But among the small number of celebrities reacting to the scandal, the message is clear: the comedian's behavior is absolutely repulsive. Read on for their responses to the harassment allegations and Louis's apology.
