The 47-year-old recounted the story during an interview on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show on Monday, where she spoke about the consensual experience.
It's been nearly a year since her friend, 51, faced multiple cases of sexual misconduct against him.
“I love him, he’s my brother. I’ve known him since I was 19,” she said.
“I’ve known Louis forever. I’m not making excuses for him. Please don’t take this that way. But, you know, we are peers. We’re equals. When we were kids and he used to ask if he could masturbate in front of me, sometimes I’d go, ‘F— yeah, I want to see that!’ It was like science.”
“It’s so hard to talk about. It’s all very black-and-white until it comes to your front door and the bad guy is someone you love. Listen, what he did was wrong. I would not say it was analogous to the serial rapist Bill Cosby, I would not say it’s even close to Harvey Weinstein. I’m not saying that’s okay. Because once he got famous, even just in the comedy community, that changes everything and it makes it not okay.”
“I don’t know if I’m going to regret saying this,” she mused.
C.K. initially responded to the Times report with a lengthy statement in which he admitted that “these stories are true.”
“The hardest regret to live with is what you’ve done to hurt someone else,” he said. “And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them … I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen.”
