In November 2017, the New York Times published a report after five women came forward and said Louie C.K. had sexually harassed and intimidated them. The allegations created a cloud of controversy over the comedian who had sold out Madison Square Garden eight times.

A day after the article was published, Louie C.K. released a public statement that said, “I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen.”
Since making his return this year, ticket prices are a fraction of what they were and venues tend to cater local crowds of a few hundred, according to reports.
In 2012, Louie C.K. won a Peabody Award, and he has received six Primetime Emmy Awards, as well as numerous awards for The Chris Rock Show, Louie, and his stand-up specials Live at the Beacon Theater and Oh My God. He has won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album twice.
