░░░░░░░░ re referring to in ░░░░░░░░ of people don t ░░░░░░░░ I guess that they ░░░░░░░░ t understand how it ░░░░░░░░ be an open secret ░░░░░░░░ Hollywood for so long ░░░░░░░░ it was And it ░░░░░░░░ really really unfortunate because ░░░░░░░░ s had a really ░░░░░░░░ effect on a lot ░░░░░░░░ people HARLOW You don ░░░░░░░░ want to be sitting ░░░░░░░░ having to be one ░░░░░░░░ the people to come ░░░░░░░░ to talk about this ░░░░░░░░ can t put myself ░░░░░░░░ your shoes How are ░░░░░░░░ doing CORRY I m ░░░░░░░░ be honest it s ░░░░░░░░ this is not this ░░░░░░░░ not on my vision ░░░░░░░░ for life You know ░░░░░░░░ here after 26 years ░░░░░░░░ working in this industry ░░░░░░░░ talking about a middle ░░░░░░░░ man who masturbates everywhere ░░░░░░░░ is not that is ░░░░░░░░ what that s a ░░░░░░░░ position to be in ░░░░░░░░ he put us all ░░░░░░░░ that and it s ░░░░░░░░ And it s not ░░░░░░░░ any of us asked ░░░░░░░░ or wanted But the ░░░░░░░░ thing to do was ░░░░░░░░ speak out because it ░░░░░░░░ intolerable HARLOW It is ░░░░░░░░ Part of his statement ░░░░░░░░ he refers to you ░░░░░░░░ by name in this ░░░░░░░░ apology call it what ░░░░░░░░ will he talked about ░░░░░░░░ remorseful for his actions ░░░░░░░░ to have learned from ░░░░░░░░ and run from them ░░░░░░░░ says Now I m ░░░░░░░░ of the extent of ░░░░░░░░ of my actions There ░░░░░░░░ nothing about this that ░░░░░░░░ forgive myself for I ░░░░░░░░ to reconcile it with ░░░░░░░░ I am which is ░░░░░░░░ compared to the task ░░░░░░░░ I left them meaning ░░░░░░░░ and the other four ░░░░░░░░ with What do you ░░░░░░░░ of that CORRY I ░░░░░░░░ that s I mean ░░░░░░░░ least you know at ░░░░░░░░ he admitted what he ░░░░░░░░ I just think that ░░░░░░░░ s really really important ░░░░░░░░ that people who do ░░░░░░░░ forward and people like ░░░░░░░░ who did that they ░░░░░░░░ just they re just ░░░░░░░░ in doing so and ░░░░░░░░ just labeled as victims ░░░░░░░░ mean we re people ░░░░░░░░ you know with stories ░░░░░░░░ do other things We ░░░░░░░░ not just Louis C ░░░░░░░░ victims or accusers We ░░░░░░░░ stories and I think ░░░░░░░░ order to encourage others ░░░░░░░░ come forward and feel ░░░░░░░░ doing so I think ░░░░░░░░ s important to keep ░░░░░░░░ in mind instead of ░░░░░░░░ further labeling us That ░░░░░░░░ the part that is ░░░░░░░░ annoying for us You ░░░░░░░░ when you google our ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ be linked to this ░░░░░░░░ And I don t ░░░░░░░░ want to be in ░░░░░░░░ same sentence as him ░░░░░░░░ alone be linked to ░░░░░░░░ forever So that s ░░░░░░░░ important thing to keep ░░░░░░░░ mind HARLOW Look this ░░░░░░░░ not define you and ░░░░░░░░ is so important that ░░░░░░░░ re speaking up and ░░░░░░░░ you re saying for ░░░░░░░░ daughters for our sons ░░░░░░░░ all of the children ░░░░░░░░ up who hopefully will ░░░░░░░░ have to experience something ░░░░░░░░ this This happened in ░░░░░░░░ Fast forward a decade ░░░░░░░░ He e mails you ░░░░░░░░ then he calls you ░░░░░░░░ happened CORRY Yeah he ░░░░░░░░ was contacted by another ░░░░░░░░ known comedian friend of ░░░░░░░░ and he had told ░░░░░░░░ that Louis wanted to ░░░░░░░░ to me and you ░░░░░░░░ it s 10 30 ░░░░░░░░ night and I had ░░░░░░░░ idea You can t ░░░░░░░░ prepared for that And ░░░░░░░░ was genuinely concerned and ░░░░░░░░ I e mailed him ░░░░░░░░ away and was like ░░░░░░░░ did you want to ░░░░░░░░ about He offered to ░░░░░░░░ mail it to me ░░░░░░░░ then offered to you ░░░░░░░░ We could talk or ░░░░░░░░ mail so I suggested ░░░░░░░░ talk And when he ░░░░░░░░ me he just told ░░░░░░░░ that he owed me ░░░░░░░░ very very late apology ░░░░░░░░ shoving me into the ░░░░░░░░ and I said You ░░░░░░░░ t shove me into ░░░░░░░░ bathroom You offered to ░░░░░░░░ in front of me ░░░░░░░░ front of my dressing ░░░░░░░░ on the set of ░░░░░░░░ pilot And he then ░░░░░░░░ and said that he ░░░░░░░░ sorry and you know ░░░░░░░░ talked awkwardly a little ░░░░░░░░ longer and that was ░░░░░░░░ I just wanted it ░░░░░░░░ be over I invited ░░░░░░░░ to do an event ░░░░░░░░ mine for my non ░░░░░░░░ and just said Come ░░░░░░░░ do it and I ░░░░░░░░ to focus on other ░░░░░░░░ I just didn t ░░░░░░░░ to be a part ░░░░░░░░ his narrative I didn ░░░░░░░░ want to be on ░░░░░░░░ call sheet anymore and ░░░░░░░░ just wanted it to ░░░░░░░░ over I never saw ░░░░░░░░ talked to him ever ░░░░░░░░ And then a series ░░░░░░░░ things happened over the ░░░░░░░░ two years and then ░░░░░░░░ recently about two months ░░░░░░░░ I had a horrible ░░░░░░░░ with someone who is ░░░░░░░░ close with him and ░░░░░░░░ was mistreated horribly at ░░░░░░░░ event and after that ░░░░░░░░ just was like You ░░░░░░░░ what Saying nothing is ░░░░░░░░ doing anything and I ░░░░░░░░ still having to be ░░░░░░░░ know having to deal ░░░░░░░░ being somehow a Louis ░░░░░░░░ K person I don ░░░░░░░░ know It feels terrible ░░░░░░░░ I just decided I ░░░░░░░░ talking.”
