Whipping out your dick and blocking the exit while your masturbate isn't "mild". At all.

Christian Bale raped me in 2003. This new Christian Bale rape accusation story, which I just started right now, has as much substance to it as the rumor and hearsay around Louis CK. Hell, it might actually have more because I'm coming out and directly accusing him of doing it.
No, Christian Bale didn't really rape me.

Speak for yourself.
There is no comparison. There is a mountain of evidence against Cosby including civil suits that were settled out of court.
There's only two stories against C.K. and the source isn't exactly reputable. No one is excusing his behavior if true but there's not enough evidence to say. You have to give him the benefit of the doubt.
This reads like a Mega64 bit. Did you hear Louis CK has demons???
Quick, we need a photoshop of Louis with 'damaged' on his forehead as a tribute.
She says "this person was married", I think.
Let me know when someone is pressing charges. Until then, so what? We're only getting this one guy's secondhand account, HIS narrative of something he didn't witness, and he is obviously pretty eager to milk it for all it's worth. Why the email to CK and why involve Gawker rather than, oh I dunno, calling the police? Because it's not as serious as it's being made to sound, it's an embellishment.
Junior needs to read this:
According to your logic, necro, whoever is claiming to have been sexually raped or abused is verified until proven wrong?
I'll be the first guy to condemn somebody who has done such a terrible thing. I don't particularly like Louis, I think he's ok. But as harsh as it may sound, we can't legally or publicly burn metaphorical witches based on fucking hearsay. Lives have been destroyed because of this.
This. Why not take it to court if it's true? Now it just comes of as slander.

You're right. It does seem like she's describing him then.

While blocking the entrance, did he say "Yeah tell me about Libya"...
...I'm sorry.
I feel like such a patriarchal asshole for thinking "Well at-least he didn't pin someone down and forcibly sex them", I just like the guy's output too much to dismiss him entirely. :/

It would still be hard to prove and could ruin your career.

A year ago, a friend told me a similar story about Louis whipping it out in front people in an elevator or something like that. She heard it from some Hollywood friends. I didn't want to believe it, and just chalked it up to being a random industry rumor.
So either the rumor/urban legion is still going on or this is actually a thing. Unless someone actually steps up and accuses him proper, I don't know if I can take these claims seriously.
But that's a problem in its self, anyone who publicly makes claims against Louie will get torn apart, because everyone loves Louie.

Setting up the long con, eh?
Oh, please. He completely ignored my argument. If he's going to engage me, only to disengage later, what value was there to be had? I was genuinely interested in his response, so I could understand his outlook and perhaps improve my own (since I believe there is some truth in his statements), but he then chose to disappoint me. Presumably because he didn't have a response. I don't like wasting my time with milquetoasts.
You're assuming the justice system is perfect, which it isn't, and I never claimed it was. Yet, in those cases, we have evidence that suggests the result of the system is wrong. Simpson's behaviour before and after the trial lends evidence (my God, that stupid book he released), and for Eric Garner's death, that video is indisputable. But we have no authority to judge them, as we are ordinary civilians without due process. While I have no sympathy for either being burnt on the grill of public opinion, I still retain they shouldn't be. You can keep arguing otherwise, but I'll remember those that didn't deserve it, and I'll keep arguing right back. I've yet to hear any convincing argument to change my outlook.
And of course legality != morality; that's elementary, and hardly relevant. The legal system is always a step behind morality, but it aspires to be reflective of the morality of the community. And through due process, tries to reach a fair and accurate judgement. Neither of those things happen in public discourse, but it results in tangible punishment all the same.

Regardless of the truth or not of it, the Gawker writer is acting really sleazy in the comments of his own article. Every time someone tells a story they overheard from a friend of a friend he's replying "wanna email me?"
That's not investigative journalism dickhead, that's just asking to talk to people who have heard a rumour.

I would consider a murderer to be worse actually, but let's not compare shitty people to one another.
Oops just read you said "one of" my bad.

Show the claims are false because he is a public figure? How do you come to that conclusion? You're basically saying any tabloid or journalist could make up any old shit about anyone and that it would be the accused who has to disprove the journalist.
Its the other way around. If a journalist prints any potentially harmful information regarding someone, the honus is on them to be able to substantiate their claims. If for instance Louis feels he has been wronged in this instance, gawker would have to provide sufficient evidence to back their claim and would likely have to reveal their sources in court who would also have to verify their their information. Gawker can't print any random rumour that passes their desk and claim no responsibility for putting the rumour out there. It is up to them to verify sources and ensure that their sources are legitimate.
A lot of tabloids get away with gossip and misinformation because it is usually superficial or doesn't have the potential to damage a persons job prospects or personal life; but if you are alleging something as serious as sexual assault, you want to be pretty fucking certain you got it right; even if you did, unless it can be substantiated in court, no matter how true it maybe, you could be setting yourself up for litigation.
Not saying Louis CK didn't do what they claim, but its a very slippery slope to run an article suggesting he did.
Who knows. I think for a lot of rich people, you expect to get away with shit. There's a big, "Why can't I jerk off in front of you? I'm fucking Lous CK!" mentality that probably gets inflated when alcohol or weed is added.
As Kendrick would say, it's the yams.

I also know someone who was raped by Christian Bale. I can't go into much detail but one of my female friends says Bale walked up behind her and said "I'm gonna make you my Robin, bitch"
I have it on good authority (friends in the biz)

No, I didn't ignore it. I didn't agree with it. I don't have to quote the entirety of a post to prove that I read it all, especially when the post in question essentially does nothing more than detail the difference of opinion that prompted the discussion in the first place. And once we both determined the point at which we weren't going to come to an agreement, I ended the argument. There was an attempt to find common ground, and it failed. If you found no value in in that, that's on you. It appears other people might have found some value in the exchange between us, which is at least something.

I'll wait for a formal accusation. I don't believe it, but it wouldn't surprise me

Yeah these stories seem pretty vague. There's literally no proof.. there's not even a real quote from the alleged victims. This whole story is basically "so I heard this story from a friend of a friend."
You would think if Louis CK was so willing to whip it out so easily, somebody you have sued by now.. or at least really come out with info.. not a vague description.
I don't know the guy personally but it always seemed like he was more family oriented.. Plus with the success of his career, you would think he could get any chick he wanted and really wouldn't have to just whip it out

A guy I know told me that he has a female friend who once saw Christian Bale force a roomful of women to watch him masturbate while he sang the Batman theme song, and when anyone tried to leave he would block the exit and say, "My dick is the hero that Gotham deserves!"
I'm submitting an article about it to Gawker as we speak.
did you actually read anything that i posted
i explicitly stated that i am withholding judgement until these claims can be either verified or discredited. the gawker article in question also says this, actually
"according to my logic," accusations like these shouldn't be dismissed out of hand because it's entirely possible that they have merit
I misinterpreted the intent of your style of quotation, then, and I apologise. We have a difference of opinion, but I still feel it's a narrow divide. Mostly semantic, as we both feel a need to refrain from judgement without evidence. Yet few things disturb me more than the effects of the unfettered court of public opinion. It can make a villain of a saint.
Though to be fair...we're unlikely to see Louis canonised by the Pope.

What we really need is some random people to make tweets about it. Theres no proof more solid than that.
Would not surprise me at all really. Love the guy and his shows. Getting your dick out in front of strangers is one thing i mean i ran around with my pants down at a festival while people where cheering. But blocking the door and forcing people to watch you masturbate ... Thats just a step too far even if you're Louie.
The ironic thing is judging by the nature of his comedy persona and his some of the things on his show, this seems exactly like something he would do.
The style of his humor doesn't mean he did of course.
