Overview

• In a conversation on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, Louis C.K. said he felt “free” once the allegations were public because he could no longer hide behavior he now says hurt others.
• He described some past conduct as “on the edge,” acknowledging he justified actions by obtaining permission while still “using another person.”
• C.K. said participation in Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous has been central to his recovery and that sharing his story there has encouraged other attendees.
• The comedian admitted in 2017 that accusations from five women were true, a disclosure that led HBO and FX to cut ties and to the cancellation of his film I Love You, Daddy.
• He has returned to touring and releases, winning a Grammy in 2022, selling out Madison Square Garden in 2023, and announcing an international Ridiculous Tour for 2025–2026 earlier this year.
