Guy Williams slams ‘abuser’ Louis CK’s tour of New Zealand – Newshub

Williams said to AM host Melissa Chan-Green: "It is kind of grim because Louis CK is probably the best comedian in the world and he's kind of brushed away these very serious allegations against him."

"For me it's kind of depressing because the question has always been 'why aren't there more women in comedy?'. I think the honest answer is because of sexual assaults and predators like Louis CK and so it's a really tough one," said Williams.

"People go 'I find him funny and I'm going to watch the show', but I think anyone trying to buy tickets, you have to think this guy is an abuser. He doesn't really repent for what he's done and tried to suppress the allegations against him for so many years.

"I don't think it's very ethical to go and support a comedian like him... he can just continue to tour whenever he wants.

"He won the Grammy last year so the Grammys are kind of endorsing him but I think he doesn't realise the magnitude of what he's done, as so many men don't realise the seriousness of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

"So in my mind, he's not someone who's worth bringing back."

Louis CK will perform at Auckland's Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre on Saturday, November 19, Christchurch's Town Hall on Sunday, November 20 and Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre on Tuesday, November 22.
