To be real clear, CK had “nothing to offer me” as I too was his equal on the set the day he decided to sexually harrass me. He took away a day I worked years for and still has no remorse. He’s a predator who victimized women for decades and lied about it.https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/sarah-silverman-louis-ck-masturbated-1202988208/ …

I'm frustrated reading that you have to apologize for telling your side
@SarahKSilverman. I understand that rebecca was wronged, I do, but to catch hell for being open and honest isn't right. You stated numerous times that what he did was wrong but your side deserves telling too. -
She doesn’t have a side in someone else’s story.

When she said CK didn’t realize how the dynamic had changed once he became famous and didn’t get he could NO LONGER MASTURBATE IN FRONT OF WOMEN THAT DIDN’T want him to, she absolutely inserted herself into a victim’s story. Sorry

I think this is an important conversation but I'm still sorry for anyone who is experiencing pain and anger because of it. Sarah, you bring up a situation where Louis asked for something sexual and got your consent (true consent, not coerced knowingly or unknowingly) 1/
-
As someone else said, it shows that the act itself is not what's violating. It's the consent and the context. Men need to understand that they can't do something without true, uncoerced consent. They need to understand how consent can be coerced by power dynamics. 2/
-
And they need to understand when even a request is harassment and inappropriate. I believe men are capable of doing this and it's absolutely legitimate to criticize Louis for failing all of the above. 3/
-
Not that she needs my opinion but I don't think it was wrong of Sarah to do what she did or say what she said. I hope Louis asked her this in a non-professional environment and only after building up a relationship where he knew asking her would not be offensive. 4/

It's important to talk about when something IS ok vs when it isn't, even in a situation that seems similar but really isn't at all. 5/

In summary, people, don't abuse your power, which requires being aware of how power dynamics affect behavior. Don't do things without real consent. Don't make comments or requests without being sure the other person will not be offended. If you're not really sure, just don't. 6/6

I cannot get over that she didn’t say anything when her own sister spoke out about how CK did this to her.
-
I didn't know that, but still, it's difficult & human to process when someone you care about does something awful. My sister befriended my ex when I broke up with him for being abusive. She believed him, not me. That was hurtful, but being human is messy and she believes me now.

Here’s an idea: every time you are asked about HIM - talk about THEM. The women he degraded and then said were repeating “rumors” for years and years. Your Stern quotes are an unfortunate take and I’m disappointed.

I can’t help but notice that, as a proclaimed feminist, you tell other women what they should and should not say.

I literally said “here’s an idea.”
