The issue with Letterman getting ahead of it is that it was a different time. In 2009 it was still bad but the culture was nowhere near the modern day outrage level to try and take him off TV. They also accepted that while the relationship was bad that if the women said yes then it was consent. That would’ve never happened in todays culture. Todays culture would’ve said, and in a way it has some merit, that the staff members couldn’t truly consent as others would because he was their boss in a position of power over their lives and that if they wanted to say no they likely wouldn’t have because of the danger to their careers it would’ve been.
But Louis could’ve tried to get ahead of it rather than denying it up until he was forced to admit to it because a story was coming out. Sure it would’ve been better in a sense but it would’ve made no difference. Louis’s actions went public right as metoo took off and everybody was being cancelled no matter what. He didn’t come out ahead of it because he didn’t want to risk all he had going and when he realized he had no choice finally admitted it. In a different time I’d have faulted it but in this culture I can get it. Look at another example like Azis Ansari. They tried to go after him because he had a consensual encounter with someone who then texted him later to say she felt uncomfortable about it to which he apologized for it. People were mad at him for doing everything right. There was no logical way to handle Louis.
You don't pick your kinks. Neal is so funny!
what did Louie say? Be thankful nobody knows your thing… everyone knows my thing
Comics are like the kids in high school who were not the cool kids nor were smart enough to be the nerds. They jerk off because they was their way to ejeculate when they were going through those tough years. They could stay backstage hitting on woman and probably striking out or go home watch some porn jerk off and go to sleep.
People thought Louie was bad and then actual predators like Bryan Callen and Chris Delia came along and Louie started to look a whole lot better.
