Jon Stewart on Louis CK’s sexual misconduct: “I didn’t know. What if I did? That’s the thing that bothers me. What if I did?”

  • “What if I had known one of the women who is making the accusations — and I don't...and one of them came to me and said...Louis did this,” Stewart told Howard Stern on Wednesday, reports Mashable. “Would I still have worked with him?...I can't honestly answer it, and that makes me feel sh*tty." Stewart acknowledged to Stern that Jezebel was right and he was wrong when it called out The Daily Show’s “Woman Problem” back in 2010. Yet when Jezebel’s sister publication Gawker reported rumors hinting of Louis CK’s masturbatory behavior in 2012, his first instinct was to mistrust it, and the internet’s “information-laundering system.” "Now their reaction makes sense to me," Stewart said. "They're furious and they've been dealing with this for years and years. And so for me to express even my obliviousness...is an indictment."
