Louis CK Shows Pulled

In the wake of last week’s allegations toward the comedian, FX and HBO have both dropped shows involving Louis CK, after five women came forward saying he had performed sex acts in front of them, despite their protests.
He is just one of the many people who has been called out on their wrongdoings, going back as far as 20 years, with the likes of Kevin Spacey, forcing himself upon Anthony Rapp when he was just 14.
HBO dropped the comedian from their upcoming Night of Too Many Stars charity event, as well as removing all his past projects from their on-demand service. FX then followed suit with a statement reading: ‘Today, FX Networks and FX Productions are ending our association with Louis C.K. We are cancelling the overall deal between FX Productions and his production company, Pig Newton. He will no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation on any of the four shows we were producing with him–Better Things, Baskets, One Mississippi, and The Cops.’
TBS has suspended the production of The Cops, an animated series that was scheduled to premiere in 2018. CK was also going to star alongside Albert Brooks in the project. Universal and Illumination Entertainment are also cutting ties with the actor and comedian, being dropped from the lead role of The Secret Life of Pets 2. His management 3 Arts have dropped him as a client, along with his representatives from APA and publicist Lewis Kay.
He admitted to sexual misconduct on Friday, saying:
‘I have been remorseful for my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. 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.’
