"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," Jason Alxander said.

Writer Abby Schachner alleges that she heard C.K. masturbating through the phone during a 2003 call. Comedienne Rebecca Corry claims that the awards-winning actor/comedian "asked if we could go to my dressing room so he could masturbate in front of me" while filming a TV pilot back in 2005.
Comediennes Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov allege that while with C.K. in his hotel room after their show at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in 2002, he "proceeded to take all of his clothes off, and get completely naked, and started masturbating."
A fifth, anonymous woman claims that while working with C.K. on "The Chris Rock Show" in the late '90s, he masturbated while she sat with him in his office, and a co-worker corroborated her story to the Times.
