In 2017, five women accused comedian Louis C.K. of sexual harassment. They accused him of masturbating in front of them in a professional context. The stand-up comedian admitted it in a statement and expressed his remorse for the events. From that moment on, the distributor of his new film canceled the premiere of the film and Stephen Colbert canceled the invitation to interview him on his show. HBO removed his stand-up specials and the magnificent sitcomLucky Louie from its catalog.
