"Louis has now confirmed the truth of the reports relating to the five women victimized by his misconduct, which we were unaware of previously," the FX statement reads. "As far as we know, his behavior over the past 8 years on all five series he has produced for FX Networks and/or FX Productions has been professional. However, now is not the time for him to make television shows. Now is the time for him to honestly address the women who have come forth to speak about their painful experiences, a process which he began today with his public statement. FX Networks and FX Productions remain committed to doing everything we can to ensure that all people work in an environment that is safe, respectful and fair, and we will continue our review of all of these productions to ensure that was and is the case."
C.K.'s publicist, Lewis Kay, announced on Twitter Friday that he was no longer representing his longtime client.
