Another Hollywood employer of Louis C.K. is cutting ties after the
comedian/actor/voiceover artist was accused of and admitted to inappropriate
sexual conduct with five women: Universal Pictures and Illumination have
ended their relationship with Louis C.K. as a voice over artist on animated
film The Secret Life of Pets 2. Louis C.K. voiced the title character of Max
in the first family film which was a box office hit, grossing $875.4M last
year worldwide. He had been expected to return to the sequel which is set for
release June 7, 2019.
在全才喜劇家、演員暨聲優路易C.K.(Louis C.K.)被指控對五位女性演藝圈工作者
在言語或肢體上施以性騷擾行為後，他的另一家好萊塢雇主決定切斷與他的連結︰
環球影業與照明娛樂動畫公司(Illumination Entertainment)，在幾小時前決定
終止路易C.K.動畫電影「寵物當家2」擔任配音員的角色。這部路易C.K.為片中
主角小狗麥斯獻聲的的家庭導向電影，在去年推出時不但成為成功的賣座電影，
並且在全球吸金超過八億美金，而他原先也被預期會回歸片商打算在2019年6月
上映的續集。
The move comes after his reps all dropped him and after FX and FX Production
ended its long relationship him after he admitted to exposing himself to
several women. 3 Arts Entertainment’s Dave Becky, publicist Lewis Kay as
well as APA Agency, which had repped his successful comedy touring business,
all dropped him. Then FX said his overall deal between he and his FX
Productions and his production company Pig Newtown was off. The company had
been housed at FX for eight years.
除了環球外，在路易C.K.親自聲明坦承他的確在不少女生面前有「露鳥」行為後，
他的經紀代表、福斯旗下FX頻道與內部的製作公司也已經在稍早結束與這位諧星的
長期合作關係。3 Arts娛樂公司的Dave Becky、公關代表Lewis Kay加上APA經紀
公司原本曾經協助他創立成功的喜劇事業，但如今這三者都已經解約。FX頻道則
宣布C.K.本人、他在創作出的影視作品、他成立製作公司「豬的新城」與FX的合約
都已經提前結束–儘管他與FX已經有長達八年的合作關係。
TBS also then suspended production on its animated series The Cops, which
C.K. co-created with Albert Brooks.
華納旗下的TBS電視台，也因為事件停止C.K.與亞伯布魯克斯(海底總動員男主角)
合作創作動畫影集「The Cops」的製作作業。
This all follows The Orchard first cancelling the movie premiere and then
shelving the release of his next film, I Love You Daddy. The film had already
premiered in Toronto and the company shelled out $5M for the distribution
rights.
不過，獨立影業The Orchard才是率先對這位藝人的性騷擾案第一家採取應對措施
的影視公司。這家公司不但取消了C.K.電影新片「我愛你，爹地」(I Love You
Daddy，暫譯)原先在美國本土的首映典禮，也決定暫停這部片在戲院的發行–
即使電影已經在多倫多影展首映過，公司也花了五百萬美金才拿下這部小品喜劇
在北美的發行權。
HBO then pulled the comedian from their Nov. 18 Night of Too Many Stars
special and the pay TV network also pulled all of his content from their HBO
On-Demand service. Netflix opted not to move ahead with a second C.K.
stand-up special they were producing.
付費影視頻道HBO則不但把C.K.從預定下周舉辦且會做現場直播公益活動「太多明星
之夜」的出席名單中撤出，也將他原先在HBO參與的節目從旗下的線上看片平台下架
。此外，先前才終止與紙牌屋主角凱文史貝西合作關係的網劇霸主Netflix，也選擇
不再執行原先預定由C.K.主持的單人脫口秀的特別節目。
註︰「太多明星之夜」是每日秀前主持人強史都華主導他喜劇式公益募款活動，
主旨是重視對美國自閉症兒童的教育，這活動除了史都華外，其他會參與的明星
還包括CBS綜藝主持人史蒂芬柯貝爾、HBO節目上週今夜主持人約翰奧立佛、
曾經與路易C.K.合作過的黑人諧星克里斯洛克、人生剩利組主角班史提勒、
命運好好玩男主角亞當山德勒..等，美國的HBO將會在下周末的電影首播時段
以特別節目的形式直播
Five women came forward in the pages of The New York Times about how the
comedian masturbated in front of them. Louis C.K. next issued a statement in
response to the sexual misconduct saying it was true “And I have to
reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left
them with.”
在五位女性演藝工作者在紐約時報專訪，揭發路易C.K.曾經在她們面前做出「尻槍」
的不雅行為後，C.K.在隔天也發表了一份聲明稿回應這項指控，並坦承這些累積的
事件「的確屬實」，他並在聲明稿中表示「我也必須藉由徹底了解自己解決這場
糾紛，儘管這遠遠比不上我遺留給她們(性騷擾受害者)的考驗。」
