Sarah Silverman has revealed she gave her old friend Louis CK permission to masturbate in front of her on multiple occasions.
The comic, 47, speaking on The Howard Stern Show on Monday, said the incidents happened when both were much younger.
'I'm not making excuses for him, please don't take this the wrong way, but we are peers we are equals, so when we were kids and he used to ask if he could masturbate in front of me, sometimes I would go "f*** yeah, I wanna see that."'
Silverman made the distinction between herself, and other women who felt coerced into giving Louis CK permission to pleasure himself.
'It's not analogous to the other women who are talking about what he did to them,' she said.
'He could offer me nothing, so sometimes yeah I wanted to see it, it was amazing.
'Sometimes I'd be like "f**ing gross, no". And we'd get pizza.'
Silverman tried to put the incidents in context, by explaining they came at a time of her life when both she and Louis CK were experimenting.
'We talked openly. We were letting our freak flags fly.'
She said she felt his sudden fame meant he didn't understand the implications of his actions.
'I’m not saying what he did was okay. I’m just saying at a certain point, when he became influential, not even famous, but influential in the world of comedy, it changes,' she said. 'He felt like he was the same person, but the dynamic was different and it was not okay.'
After Louis CK was subject to a New York Times November 2017 expose that claimed he had exposed himself and masturbated in front of at least five women in cases starting from 2002, he admitted the admitted the allegations about him were 'true' - but he felt his behavior was 'OK' at the time because he always asked before exposing himself.
He said: 'These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was OK because I never showed a woman my d*** without asking first.
Why even explain yourself? They're just looking for more material to destroy him with.
The #metoo movement is a beast that needs more and more targets to satiate itself. Stay far away!
LA in general is sexed up in a weird way. I went to school at a very wealthy, conservative private school in VA. Everyone was proper, reserved, well bred and aware of their reputation. During this time I spent 2 summers in LA which felt like a pornset in comparison. The casual sexual encounters in LA would make any good college kid in VA blush.
Different worlds, different cultures. Never raise your daughters in a city like LA.
Silverman could have been a great anti-PC crusader, but then she got older and stupider. Something in Hollywood where common sense actually declines with fame and age.
I saw SS's live comedy act years ago in the Bay Area, long before she had fame. To say it was GROSS to the point of gratuitous would be an understatement. I doubt she would repeat the act in today's PC culture.
No demos, but plenty of scat related humor. I recall a lengthy bit about boyfriends who always wanted to stick their finger up her ass while fucking her.
Don't know if she went full bore lesbo eventually, or just Hollywood Fashionable Lesbo for a while. I guess she had that skit about 'scissoring to fruition'.
