Sarah Silverman Reveals She Let Louis CK Masturbate In Front Of Her, One Of His Accusers Responds

Indiewire reports that during an interview with Howard Stern, Sarah Silverman revealed that Louis CK asked her if he could masturbate in front of her and she let him do it. CK was accused last November of doing the same thing to other women without their consent.

She said: “I know I’m going to regret saying this. I’ve known Louis forever, I’m not making excuses for him, so please don’t take this that way. We are peers. We are equals. When we were kids, and he asked if he could masturbate in front of me, sometimes I’d go, ‘Fuck yeah I want to see that!’… It’s not analogous to the other women that are talking about what he did to them. He could offer me nothing. We were only just friends. Sometimes, yeah, I wanted to see it, it was amazing. Sometimes I would say, ‘Fucking no, gross,’ and we got pizza. Once he became powerful, even within just his [comedy] community, he felt like he was the same person, but the dynamic was different and it was not OK.”

She also described how she too went through what CK’s accusers have, but not from CK himself. Instead, it was the owner of a Mexican restaurant she worked at. She added: “When I talk about Louis, it was a very different dynamic. The dynamic between Louis and the other women is what I’m talking about with the owner of the restaurant.”

She also said that she hasn’t spoke to CK in three months. Finally, when asked if CK should be allowed to return to comedy, Silverman replied: “I’m not saying everyone should embrace Louis again. I believe he has remorse. I just want him to talk about it on stage. He’s going to have to find his way or not find his way.”

After the interview went viral yesterday, Louis CK accuser Rebecca Corry responded on Twitter. This led to an exchange with Silverman.

Rebecca I’m sorry. Ugh this is why I don’t like weighing in. I can’t seem to do press 4 my show w/out being asked about it. But you’re right- you were equals and he fucked with you and it’s not ok. I’m sorry, friend. You are so talented and so kind.
