The backlash against the comedian Louis C.K. was swift after the Times reported on Thursday that several women described encounters with him that crossed the line into sexual misconduct. On Thursday evening, HBO said Louis C.K. would no longer be part of a comedy benefit that it plans to broadcast on Nov. 18.
FX, the cable channel that broadcasts “Louie,” the comedian’s Emmy-winning series, as well as other series involving him, said Thursday that it was “very troubled” by the report and was reviewing the matter. But the network added that it had “received no allegations of misconduct by Louis C.K.” on any of the five shows he and FX had collaborated on in the past eight years. Those shows include “Better Things,” which he and Pamela Adlon created, and “Baskets,” which he created with Zach Galifianakis and Jonathan Krisel.
