Everyone's cancelled their deals with him, including FX. He's done for a LONG time.

Louis C.K. scandal: FX, Netflix, publicist cut ties after admission of sexual misconduct

FX Networks announced late Friday afternoon that it was cutting ties with comedian Louis C.K. after he admitted to sexual misconduct with five women, as revealed by The New York Times.

"Today, FX Networks and FX Productions are ending our association with Louis C.K," representative Jesse Hiestand confirmed to USA TODAY in a statement. "We are canceling the overall deal between FX Productions and his production company, Pig Newton. He will no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation on any of the four shows we were producing with him: Better Things, Baskets, One Mississippi and The Cops."

The statement continued, "Louis has now confirmed the truth of the reports relating to the five women victimized by his misconduct, which we were unaware of previously. As far as we know, his behavior over the past 8 years on all five series he has produced for FX Networks and/or FX Productions has been professional. However, now is not the time for him to make television shows. Now is the time for him to honestly address the women who have come forth to speak about their painful experiences, a process which he began today with his public statement.

Their decision came hours after comedian's publicist, Lewis Kay, released C.K.'s written remarks. (Hours later, Kay tweeted that he was no longer representing C.K.)

Early Friday morning, I Love You, Daddy distributor Orchard Films announced that the film company would be scrapping C.K.'s new movie, which was slated to open in limited release on Nov. 17. “The Orchard will not be moving forward with the release of I Love You, Daddy," the statement reads. The shelving follows the cancellation of the movie's New York premiere, originally scheduled for Tuesday.

Next, streaming service Netflix announced it would not be moving forward with its second planned C.K. standup special, the follow-up to the comedian's 2017 released in April. “The allegations made by several women in the New York Times about Louis C.K.’s behavior are disturbing," Netflix told USA TODAY in a statement provided by spokesperson Karen Barragan. "Louis' unprofessional and inappropriate behavior with female colleagues has led us to decide not to produce a second stand up special, as had been planned.”
