Earlier in the day, FX revealed that they would be ending our association with C.K. and that he would no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation on any of the four shows we were producing with him Better Things, Baskets, One Mississippi and The Cops. C.K.s management company 3 Arts and publicist Lewis Kay also dropped him as a client.
On Friday, C.K. confessed to the allegations against him, admitting, These stories are true.
I have been remorseful of my actions. And Ive tried to learn from them. And run from them, C.K. wrote in a statement. Now Im aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.
