Sarah Silverman has revealed that Louis C.K. once masturbated in front of her – with her consent.
The 47-year-old is a long time friend of the disgraced comedian, and opened up about their relationship on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show.
During her interview, Sarah recalled the time she let Louis masturbate in front of her when they were younger.
“I know I’m going to regret saying this,” she said. “I’ve known Louis forever. I’m not making excuses for him, so please don’t take this that way. We are peers. We are equals.”
She continued, “Sometimes I’d go, ‘F**k yeah, I want to see that!’ … We were only just friends. Sometimes, yeah, I wanted to see it. It was amazing. Sometimes I would say, ‘F**king no, gross,’ and we got pizza.”
In November of last year, Louis hit headlines when five women accused him of sexual misconduct in a New York Times exposé.
At the time, the comedian released a statement which read, “These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true.”
“But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me.”
“And I wielded that power irresponsibly,” he shared in his statement. “I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions.”
“I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen,” he added.
The news comes after Louis made his return to the stage by making a surprise appearance at the Comedy Cellar in New York back in August, which caused serious controversy.
Following her interview with Howard, Sarah appeared on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM’s show, and was asked how she feels about Louis’ recent return to the stage, and how it has outraged people.
Sarah said, “I get it. I’m not in the business of telling people how to feel. He’s my brother and I love him. I can understand, I can try to understand him… I think I’m too close to really see the big picture.”
