CNN —“Sorry/Not Sorry,” in theaters Friday, revisits the 2017 comedy-world firestorm involving five women’s accounts of sexual misconduct by comedian Louis C.K.
only to be shut down; and Abby Schachner, a comic and writer who went public with her account of C.K.
Then it was followed by C.K.’s Grammy-winning 2022 album “Sincerely Louis C.K.,” in which he joked about the behavior as a sexual hangup rather than abuse.
“There are dozens of Russell Brands,” was the headline of one Guardian piece on female comics.
