Even considered by some a champion of feminism. But now louis ck stands accused of multiple instances of sexual misconduct. Tonight the comedian saying its all true. A shock to many of his fans. But in retrospect, has he been revealing his true self all louis ck all those years ago. They had this big break in 2002, got to perform at the u. S. Comedy Arts Festival in aspen, which is a high bar for comedy. After their show louis ck invited them back to his hotel to hang out. They thought, cool, hes a comedian we admire. And theyre together. Theyre together. They didnt think his intentions were anything but collegial. Before they sat down, before they had a chance to take off their coats and hats, he said, can i take out my penis . They laughed it off. Then he proceeded to live totally naked and began masturbating. They laughed because they thought it was a joke . They thought it was a joke. Did they consent to doing this . They said they did not consent. They couldnt believe it was happening and then when it was over, they fled the room and they were in a state of shock. Reporter the comedy duo says they initially didnt report what happened to authorities. Why did they feel they couldnt go to police . They werent sure whether it was illegal, or whether their story would get the right attention from the police. Everything that happened to them was, they felt, very surreal and they didnt know what to do. Reporter they say they realized something needed to be done. They tried to shame ck by telling their story within the comedy world. They began to tell everyone that they could. And they said people began sort of to back away as if the information they were saying was dangerous. Their takeaway was, were being warned, we shouldnt talk about this. Bestselling author, comedian, and virgin until i was 27 reporter heather mcdonald, actress and comedienne based in los angeles. She knows the dark side of the entertainment world too well. The minute you talk about somebody thats powerful, they can ruin you. They can blackball you, they can keep projects from happening. And so when people do say, let me tell you this story, oftentimes someone will say, id keep that to yourself. Reporter the comedy duo told the times reporters it was cks manager, dave becky in particular, who intimidated them. Mr. Becky has denied that he threatened any of these women. What do the women youve talked to say . They say becky is an incredible powerful kingmaker in the comedy world. Especially if youre new to the field and youre just making your way in it. You wouldnt want to anger that person, you wouldnt want to start off on the wrong foot with that person. Reporter among other accusers, Rebecca Corey who was working on a Television Pilot produced by Courteney Cox and David Arquette when she says she was approached by ck. 2005, she was a producer and actor on a show midnightly news. Louis ck was a guest. He pulled her aside and said, can i masturbate in front of you . She said no, horrified. Word reached Courteney Cox and David Arquette. They talked about whether to shut down production. Rebecca decided against it. But she was absolutely appalled. Reporter the times reports arquette and cox confirm the incident. Cox writing in an email that what happened to rebecca was awful. Mcdonald says even though the comedy world is raunchy at times im married so i can pay people to touch me. Reporter its not a justification for harassment. People were saying this about the comics that spoke up, the female comics, that they had an edgy, dirty act. And that is no excuse. A female comic does not mean that she cannot be sexually harassed, that she cannot be sexually offended. Reporter louis ck part of an exclusive group of hollywood heavyweights now joining another club. Men all accused of varying degrees of sexual misconduct. Were there to do standup, we dont want to see your penis in the green room. Reporter louis ck rose to fame poking fun at his appearance. Im the guy women see and they go, huh . Im like, i know, but let me talk to you for a minute. Reporter and his sexual hangups and peccadillos as in this hbo special. These days my problem is simple, trying to find a place in my house where i can masturbate without somebody bothering me. Reporter he turned what seemed like raw selfawareness into mega stardom. Live tours. Comedy specials. And a hit tv show that he wrote, directed, and edited. But his material, which never shied away from talking about his sexual impulses, often turned dark. Women try to compete. Im a pervert, you dont know. I have really sick sexual thoughts. No, you have no idea. You have no idea. Reporter comedy that so many may have chuckled at but psychologist and sex therapist Chris Donahue says this is 92 no laughing matter. Louis ck has a history of frequently making jokes about masturbation and sexual assault, normalizing sexually assaulting women, and has a history of that. So that is a red flag and that is a huge concern. What . No, no, no reporter in an episode of louis from 2014, his character tries to drag his longtime crush into the bedroom against her wishes. It drew ire at the time and its now taking on new meaning. You want to do something, you want to try something but you dont you cant, for some reason you cant. So im going to take control. And im going to make something happen. Reporter at the time ck responded to the criticism saying, i dont think you can call it rape, it was a kiss on the mouth. Rape is a real serious and bad thing. In 2014, he spoke to abc news about his willingness to push boundaries in his comedy. I think sex is a fascinating subject and its a hilarious subject because its awkward, and its highstakes, and it makes you feel great or makes you feel terrible. Its a huge array of experience. Reporter and its the real darkness behind the comedy that may lead to his downfall. In his lengthy statement, louis ck says that he is remorseful. The power i had over these women is that they admired me and i wielded that power irresponsibly which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried. He adds, there is nothing about this that i forgive myself for, saying, 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. But netflix has already canceled his standup special. While hbos removing his projects from their on demand services. They also announced he will no longer be participating in an upcoming comedy benefit. And just this evening, fx announced they were cutting ties with the comedian. China is a minor minor what . His latest i love you daddy scheduled to be released next week has been shelved. Some of its scenes had already garnered criticism. He really likes to fly close to the sun without getting burned. Theres a scene of a character aggressively mimicking masturbation. So it really is the milliondollar question. Life imitating art . Art imitating life . Reporter times reporter cara buckley says she is confronted him after the screening. And i said, it seems very audacious for you to put an extended scene of someone masturbating considering the rumors. And he said, i never thought of that. And i just thought huh. Okay. Reporter while the current accusations do not involve physical contact, donahue says this kind of harassment must still be taken seriously. People often believe and louis ck actually talked about this in his statement, that if im not physically touching someone, that im not necessarily assaulting them or harming them. But it does. It can create an emotional psychological trauma. Reporter donahue hopes that cks response today will be a wakeup call to other men. What were doing in the media and in culture is talking about how many women have been sexually assaulted or raped this year. Thats not how we should look at it. The question should be, how many men have raped or section wahl assaulted this year . Talk about it in an active way, hold men accountable, center them around the dialogue.

After my dvt blood clot, i had a lot on my mind. Could this happen again . Was my warfarin treatment right for me . Ld me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both and that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Endless shrimp is here like new Nashville Hot shrimp crispy, spicy, and drizzled with sweeyou love,oney. He delics like garlic shrimp scampi.

Heres abcs James Longman. Reporter from comic book seer res superman to wonder woman, to the alien e. T. Flying, one of the most enduring dreams of mankind, immortalized in film. But for one british man, those dreams have become a reality. Meet the reallife iron man, uk inventor richard browning. This former royal marine is the inventor of the gravity suit. Powered by six jet engines with over 1,000 horsepower, browning has taken the dream to fly to new heights. Literally. Hes just broken the Guinness World record for fast els flight in a jetsuit. With speeds topping 32 miles per hour. One day you woke and up thought, this is boring, i want to make a jet pack . Not exactly. I suppose throughout my life, especially as a kid, i used to enjoy making things, take things apart, working with my father in his workshop. Ive always been technically minded, at least in my day job career. Reporter browning says inventing is in his blood. Like marvels superhero tony stark, hes had his trials and failures. Watching Robert Downey jr. Fly, did you think, i recognize that guy . I love the clip in the first iron man film of where he is learning. Hes built it, hes in his garage, crashing around, trying to learn the balance. 90 of things we tried didnt work. When they didnt work, often that meant i would then fall over are. Only a few feet off the ground or whatever. But learning from failure has been the fuel thats driven our journey. Reporter browning impressed with how the physics of flight seemed so true to life in the movie. But in terms of the balance and control, its hugely similar. You can see from our learning and testing clips that actually, as i say, full credit to marvel for coming up with and imagining what it would be like to have that thrust coming off the body. Have you met him, Robert Downey jr. . No, weve had a lot of social media link us. You know. In that way. But no. We should get him to come down and try on your suit. I hear its in his contract now, he refuses to put on the marvel Iron Man Suit because its awfully uncomfortable. Robert, if youre watching, this is really comfortable, youre going to want to try it on. So tell me the journey in development, how did you get here . I suppose our ground zero point was standing in a lane, you can see the clip of this. One small gas turbine mounted on my arm. We had a mop bucket as a fuel tank. It was all pretty rudimentary. And we rammed this thing up. Reporter he was experimenting with multiple engines ask seeing results. We went from two engines to four. And i really am now starting to jump around like im on the moon. You can see thats now a huge amount of thrust. Its still not quite enough to get me and the equipment off the ground but its close. Reporter now the sky really is the limit. As high as a plane needs to go . As high as you like. After a while you become limited by the temperature the human body is comfortable at. Youll pass out but it will keep going . Dont go too high. Its limited by can we transition to a point where a parachute would safely save you . Thats a critical point we need to solve. Should i be concerned theres a skull and cross bones . I got a chance to fire it up. See if you can crush your arm. Although taking off is too dangerous for anyone not properly trained. He says his suit even caught the attention of the military. The military are very excited about this, weve got military collaboration going on, search and rescue collaboration going on as well. And it has occurred to me that in this day and age, if you need to get rapid response, i think we can do this faster and more nimbly than a helicopter can. Reporter the goal, he says, make flying a reality for more people. That feeling when you did start to lift off and disengage from the ground and you werent coming back unless you flared your arms out, that was phenomenal, that was really exciting. That was what it was all about. Absolutely, absolutely. Reporter one of these will kate moss you. Even though weve only been out for six months doing this, weve already had our first client, if you like, pay a significant amount of money to come over, have their own custom flight suit built. How much . The latest version now that were running, theres an example of it in the back here which runs a much better setup, thats 450,000. Reporter skyhigh costs aside, for browning, the possibilities are end is already. Ive become a huge believer in the creativity that you see behind science fiction. Because it is an example of unbounded human creativity. Where you dont care about whether you can really build it, you just imagine. Its fantastic. Reporter for nightline, im James Longman in london. And next, with veterans day coming up, a look at the firstever documentary filmed and directed by an active duty soldier. No greater love.

For three years i was assigned as chaplain to the 2nd 327th Infantry Battalion also known as no slack. I wanted to recount the deployment to afghanistan. So i decided to carry a camera. But it wasnt the photos, it wasnt the video that changed my life. It was understanding the stories behind them. We were going into two known enemy strongholds. No one had ever dared go up there. The russians hadnt even been up there. I hear this crack. Then i hear something really odd. Rpg i had to make peace with the fact that i was going to die. Casualties started adding up.
