Roseanne Barr claims the abuse of women at the hands of A-list men in the comedy world goes far beyond the allegations being hurled at Bill Cosby, accusing one of Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars of also being guilty of abuse in a new interview.

Barr said in an interview with The Daily Beast she is now 'speaking up' about claims and stories she has heard from people over the years about incidents of abuse before naming one person in a bombshell of an allegation.

'It’s Louis C.K., locking the door and masturbating in front of women comics and writers. I can’t tell you - I’ve heard so many stories. Not just him, but a lot of them,' alleged Barr.

'And it’s just par for the course. It’s just sh** women have to put up with.'

Barr later said that she believes Louis C.K. is 'about to get busted.'

Multiple reps for Louis C.K. did not return a request for comment from DailyMail.com.

Serious claims: Barr claims she has heard so many stories about Louis C.K. (above in 2011) 'locking the door and masturbating in front of women comics and writers'

In an email sent after the interview, Barr stood by her statement while admitting she personally had no definitive proof, saying: 'These allegations have been leveled and talked about for years. I do not have first hand knowledge, though have heard women make these allegations.'

The living legend, who paved the way for countless female performers and writers in the comedy world with her eponymous sitcom, spoke about Louis C.K. during an interview to promote her upcoming documentary, Roseanne for President!.

The movie, released on Friday, chronicles Barr's entertaining, though ultimately unsuccessful, run for the nation's top office after securing the nomination of the Peace and Freedom Party.

In the end, Barr did manage to tally over 500,000 votes in the general election, which she lost to a fellow part-time resident of Hawaii, President Barack Obama.

This is not the first time Barr has made these claims either, posting on Twitter last July: 'I have 0 idea if Louie CK is a sexual offender or not-but there R MULTIPLE accusations in Hollywood's working woman circles. He shld answer.'

That same day she posted another tweet referencing her allegations while also calling out Judd Apatow, perhaps one of the most powerful men in all the industry.

'Ignoring the many women writers who claim Louis CK is a sexual offender, the Emmy Awards nominated him 4 3 awards. #JuddApatow,' wrote Barr in the since deleted tweet.

Apatow frequently took to Twitter to attack Bill Cosby as more and more women came forward accusing him of raping and drugging them.

He also used media appearances to speak about Cosby, calling him 'one of the most awful people that you've ever heard of' and describing his alleged crimes as 'the worst thing that's ever happened in show business.'

Cosby is currently accused of abusing at least 60 women, some of whom claim they were minors at the time of their alleged attacks.

Louis C.K. did address the allegations in an interview with New York after he landed the cover of the magazine's special issue on comedy, with the interviewer asking how he responded to a Gawker story that detailed the same claims that Barr made in her interview.

The comedian managed to quickly change the subject after saying the story had no impact on him at the time.

'I don’t care about that. That’s nothing to me. That’s not real.'

When pressed a bit later in the interview about his reluctance to comment on the story, he responded by saying: 'Well, you can’t touch stuff like that. There’s one more thing I want to say about this, and it’s important: If you need your public profile to be all positive, you’re sick in the head.

On her mind: Barr posted on Twitter last July: 'I have 0 idea if Louie CK is a sexual offender or not-but there R MULTIPLE accusations in Hollywood's working woman circles. He shld answer'

More abuses: Barr claims in her interview that she knows several women who were victims of Bill Cosby's (above in 2009) alleged attacks, and that none of those individuals have ever come forward with their claims

Barr claims in her interview that she knows several women who were victims of Cosby's alleged attacks, and that none of those individuals have ever come forward with their claims.

'I understand why they don’t [come forward],' said Barr.

'But I’ve known for a long, long time. Everyone knows.'

And it appears that there are more.

'Some of the biggest comics, males, are doing some terrible things,' said Barr.
