But I can see how someone could be in that situation, not like it, and not leave because they are afraid of the repercussions.

Of course, we are all different. You would have laughed it off. They didn't. People are allowed to respond to things differently.

I'm not saying Louis should be banned from doing comedy. I think he is very funny. But if people decide they don't want to go see him or they want to heckle him, so be it. The market speaks.
I'm telling you...I traveled on the road in a band for decades. I saw way more than just jacking off.
Yeah, maybe to "civilians" outside the entertainment industry it would be weird. But "sexual harassment"?
LOL. That's for marks. Not real carny's.

A REAL comedian would have not only watched the whole thing...but would have taken notes on it when they got home so they wouldn't forget anything.
Then they would incorporate the story of Louis CK jerking off into their comedy routine.

I know you don't see that. But I'm telling you...whether you play in a band, do stand up comedy, travel as a cowboy in a rodeo, travel as a pro wrestler...whatever aspect of entertainment you are in...you see some wild shit.

And pro's laugh it off.
