This isn't a matter of coercion or quid pro quo, and we never got a forum where we actually delved into the specifics of what possible implicit or soft power CK may have exerted.
The whole thing stinks of excessive narrative construction after the fact.
Some see a powerful comic 'imposing' his good graces in order to engage in 'perverted' acts.
It is just as plausible to see a lonely schlub away from home reaching out to compatible colleagues for potential mutual release.

Louis CKs stuff sounds creepy as hell and it sounds like it wasn't exactly a one time thing. The better example is aziz. How the **** that guy needs to apologize for anything is embarrassing. Even feminists are appalled. And true victims of sexual assault are extremely appalled because it marginalizes what they went through.
