Social Media Heated After Louis CK Wins Grammy Despite Committing Sexual Misconduct In 2017

April 04, 2022

Social media fans are furious about this win.

In 2020, Louis C.K, comedian and actor, released his standup comedy album, Sincerely Louis CK. The hour long project filled with jokes was the now 54-year-old's first performance following his admission to numerous acts of sexual misconduct in 2017.

Fast forward five years after these claims were proven true, Sincerely Louis CK, which features jokes about the misconduct, has won the award for 'Best Comedy Album' at the 64th Annual Grammys. While Louis was not in attendance and the category was not broadcasted on CBS, The Recording Academy posted the win to Twitter and sent social media users over the edge.

The post is now filled with hundreds of comments from outraged users who can't believe Louis was given a win despite his past. One person wrote, "'forgive or forget' no i'm pretty sure people who commit multiple sex crimes usually go to jail even if they apologise."

Another chimed in, "Congrats! You gave an award to a man who violated the consent of multiple women!"

Many others even brought Will Smith into the mix following his physically assaulting Chris Rock at the Oscars last week. Those viewers claimed that if Louis can be forgiven, then so can Smith. 



Louis has yet to accept the award or issue a statement, but social media has not let up.
