Here is how fans and comedians reacted on Twitter:
Gentlemen, comedy is often inappropriate. It is sometimes daring and audacious and shocking. But our behavior, in the real world, toward women – that doesn’t get a pass on inappropriate.

Louis CK's manager tried to silence the women he abused. I hope the other comics that Dave Becky represents – @KevinHart4real @azizansari Amy Poehler – will say something.

this is a man who built his career off "jokes" like: "How do women still go out with guys, when you consider the fact that there is no greater threat to women than men?" Meanwhile, he was masturbating in front of female comics without their consent.
