A few weeks ago I was lamenting with a friend about the reports of sexual harassment being applied to Louis CK. It’s always disappointing to hear about behavior like this, but it stings a bit more when it’s applied to someone you admired and respected, which was the case for both of us when it came to Louis CK. While it was disappointing, I remember having a strange thought: There was a part of me that was actually hoping that more allegations would arise against other big names.
Don’t get me wrong. These stories are horrific and in many ways represent the worst of human behavior. At the same time, I was hoping that these high-profile reports (and the recent #MeToo movement) would empower more people to come forward with their stories. As more big names fell from grace, perhaps we would be forced to finally deal with this problem.
