CK acknowledged the stories in a public statement

In the wake of the allegations and its aftermath, Louis CK released a statement saying that the accusations were true and expressing regret for his actions.

I want to address the stories told to the New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not,” he started. “These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true.” “The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.

I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling bad about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.”

He added that he regretted the hurt he had inflicted on people he worked with, including his manager Dave Becky, his family, his friends, his children and their mother.
