Comedians Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov described being invited to his hotel room in , where the comedian allegedly proceeded to get naked and masturbate while the women watched, “paralyzed.” Actress and writer Abby Schachner recalled Louis C.K. audibly masturbating on the phone with her in , again, without her consent.
