Comedian Louis C.K. has been accused of sexual misconduct by five women, according to a new report from The New York Times. All five of his accusers were aspiring comedians. Two women, Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov, said C.K. masturbated in front of them follow a show in Aspen, Colorado in 2002. Another woman, Abby Schachner, said she could hear C.K. masturbating as they spoke on the phone in 2003. C.K. later acknowledged the incident in a message he sent to her on Facebook. âLast time I talked to you ended in a sordid fashion,â he wrote. âThat was a bad time in my life and I'm sorry.â A fourth woman, Rebecca Corry, said C.K. asked if he could masturbate in front of her while on the set for the TV pilot in 2005. Courteney Cox and David Arquette, who were executive producers on the pilot, confirmed the incident to The New York Times. âWhat happened to Rebecca on that set was awful,â Cox said in an email, adding that she felt âoutrage and shock.â âMy concern was to create an environment where Rebecca felt safe, protected and heard,â she added. They discussed curtailing the production, but Corry decided to continue with the show. Years later, Corry was also contacted by C.K., but he apologized for the wrong incident. He said was sorry for shoving her into a bathroom; when Corry told him he had actually asked to masturbate in front of her, C.K. responded, âI used to misread people back then.â A fifth woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also accused C.K. of sexual misconduct. In the late 1990s, she was working on The Chris Rock Show when Louis C.K., a writer and producer there, repeatedly asked her to watch him masturbate. She was in her early 20s and went along with his request, but later questioned his behavior. This is a developing storyâ¦
