    Your first statement says none. Your second statement says none except for the ones that did, that’s not the same thing.

    An accurate sentence would be:

    Besides the five women that accused him, no other female comedian or actress he’s worked with have said anything negative about him.

    But, to say no female comedian has complained is just false, 4 of them weren’t anonymous.


  • I agree with your first part, your second part is wrong.

    The ladies that made the accusations against him, which he confirmed were all true, were up-and-coming comedians.

    They said because he was in a position of power they felt like they couldn’t say no to his request.

    To his credit, he validated every woman that made an accusation. He also said he didn’t realize the women were saying yes because of the implication if they said no. I tend to believe his story because after the women came forward, he admitted what happened, and the allegations stopped, no one else came forward. That seems to me like a guy that used bad judgement and didn’t understand the power he had.

    I think him taking a timeout, realizing that women have a whole different set of circumstances to deal with that guys don’t, and reflecting on that was warranted. I don’t think he needs to be shunned forever.
