Basically compares the allegations as detailed in the initial reporting with jokes, podcast, and radio appearances that Louis has done in the past as well as his actions and statements after the allegations were made public. And the obviously biased and very condensed version i can give you is that there are several stories he told on opie and anthony about events that bear enough resemblance to the allegations to determine that there are likely more victims who have never come forward and never been recognized and that Louis has been working to minimize how this negatively impacts him without ever going so far as to actually try to make amends with the women he abused.

If you are tempted to watch some I'd say start at the beginning and around the first time you catch yourself thinking "this fucking guy" after a clip of Louis telling a "funny" story on a podcast back before the allegations came out, then you've got the gist and the rest of it is just stacking more receipts

This guy did a very long series of video Essays about why Louis behavior post accusations isn't so black and white.

It's very long though.

I disagree. Firstly, if you want a masterclass on repentance, see Dan Harmon's apology. Made actual tangible steps to better himself, and devoted an entire podcast episode to apologizing, and spent about 0 seconds of that podcast feeling sorry for himself or lamenting that he got caught, or complaining about the financial effect it had on him. Plus, he doesn't deny the story of the woman he harrassed.

None of this is true for Louis CK. He says "everything they say is true", but then every chance he gets on his gigantic public platform, he repeats the blatant lie that he got consent. He didn't. In none of the women he harrassed's stories, he asks for consent. They deny that he asked for consent. All of them. And in his "apologies" he keeps repeating that he asked for consent. That's not an apology, that's just a lie.

His "apologies" are mostly made up of three parts. The first is a sneaky denial of the victim's stories, the second he spends some time complaining about how this makes him feel, and how it affected him financially, and that he's looking to get back on top of things and better his situation. And then the third is where he explains that there's nothing he can do to make the world tangibly a better place (like, idk, staying the fuck away, donating to a charity for victims of sexual assault, trying to do anything to fix the careers he destroyed), and that all he can really do are these vague platitudes that help no one like (I wish I were making this up) "shaking one hand at a time".

It's hard for me to think of a worse realistic public apology. Maybe "I didn't do it, but I'm sorry if you feel I hurt you" although that's already pretty close to what Louis CK is doing.

they said no, by the way

I haven't heard this story. You got a link?

He did. Multiple times from what I understand.

I mean in fairness he was the one on the podcast and was potentially asked about it... I have no idea what he did or didn't with the women but I would hope he has tried to apologize personally

No idea, that not something most people would do publicly
