I’m about to make a prediction. I could be wrong – this is just speculation.

A rather sticky public relations catastrophe is rearing its purple head in Hollywood right now [pun intended]. Most of you have probably already heard about the Harvey Weinstein controversy. A laundry-list of female starlet’s names are now attached to the sexual harassment allegations, including Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd, and Alyssa Milano. Now a Los Angeles TV reporter also says Harvey Weinstein once forced her to watch him choke his chicken. Even Kathy Lee Gifford says a [different] producer once buffed his banana in front of her [no wonder Hollywood liberals hate men so much].

All this talk about powerful men in Hollywood playing pocket hockey in front of an audience reminded me of a lesser known Tinsel Town scandal. Louis CK, one of of stand up comedy's biggest stars, has been accused many times of forcing women to watch him flog his dog.

According to a countless number of Hollywood entertainment news outlets, there are several women in standup comedy who have a story about Louis CK. But much like Weinstein's victims, they're worried if they come forward it will hurt their careers. These allegations aren’t a secret – even Roseanne Barr called him out for polishing the banister in front of women in an interview last summer.

Comedian Jen Kirkman spoke about an unnamed creepy superstar male comic in 2015 on her podcast that people thought sounded an awful lot like Louis CK. The reaction from comedy fans was so intense that she had to delete her podcast.

Also, when asked about it, Louis CK doesn't adamantly and openly deny forcing women to watch him pound his flounder. And as if all of that wasn’t bad enough, Louis CK has also been accused of grabbing one female comic by the neck.

Hearing about this always bothered me for a number of reasons, the least of which being that I really liked his comedy. Also, he has two young daughters, which makes it even creepier. The only difference between Harvey Weinstein and Louis CK is that Louis can, theoretically, write a comedy bit about being a stupid pervert and his fans might forgive him. All that said, don't be surprised when Louis CK's name starts getting brought up again by West Coast media in the wake of this Weinstein controversy. Remember when the Bill Cosby controversy got rehashed only because comedian Hannibal Buress did a bit on it? This will be sort of like that.

Again, just a prediction.
