Louis was basically the king of modern comedy in a well-connected scene, so a lot of comedians saw the scandal as a threat to their industry and behaved ****tily in order to protect it.

Hopefully he has new material soon, he's still a hysterical fellow.
Separate the art from the artist, but if he doesn't try to cover that **** in his act at some point then he has no balls. Even just on an artistic level if he acts like that's forbidden territory then it will create a disconnect with him as a person and him as a comedian while making him look like a bitch.
