A woman who accused Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct in 2017 has fired back at a Toronto comedy club founder for a piece he wrote on why he recently booked the controversial comedian
, published Tuesday. "If Mark Breslin had read the Times article, he would know that C.K. was accused by five women publicly, not four, and that what happened to us occurred in 2002, not 2005," she writes. "Contrary to Breslin’s accounting, what C.K. did was not done with consent. We never agreed nor asked him to take all his clothes off and masturbate to completion in front of us.
Breslin, the founder of the Yuk Yuk's club in Toronto, had days earlier published a story titled "Why I Brought Louis C.K. Back From the Dead."

"The author’s attempt to convince himself and the Jewish community of the validity of supporting C.K. by saying he is part Jewish is shameful," she wrote.
Wolov also noted that several of C.K.'s accusers were comedians. "Although we may never have the stature to perform at Yuk Yuk’s, we will continue to navigate our careers the best we can," she added.
