There's more
In addition to the women who came forward about the sexual misconduct, Tig Notario also came forward claiming she felt trapped by association with Louis C.K. She also claimed that she came to understand that C.K.'s victims are real and a number are in fact friends of hers in the comedy industry.
Tig Nataro, the comedian whose Amazon series, "One Mississippi," displays Louis C.K. as an executive producer, is one of the few in the eminently narrow comedy world to come forward against him.
Tig Nataro
Her career was lifted by her 2012 comedy album, regarding her cancer diagnosis. But their relationship has now retrograded.
Nataro's worry is that he released her album to cover his tracks. At the end of the day, he knew it was going to work in his favor since he was supporting a woman. Nataro learned about his character after they sold the series to Amazon. Unfortunately, allegedly, she has come to understand the true Louis C.K.
According to Peter Henderson's tweet on Twitter, Courteney Cox and David Arquette both affirmed that Louis C.K. asked an actress working with him on a 2005 pilot if he could masturbate in front of her. These women that have come out and that have spoken up are ultimately brave. This year has come to represent the reckoning of terrible men in Hollywood.
