I guess 9 months of silence was enough for him.

I think we can all agree what he did wasn't good, but are we really gonna compare what he did to what Cosby and Weinstein did? I don't think it's anywhere near that level.

Anyways as expected Twitter is a dumpster fire with this new info. What are your thoughts?

When social justice decides you should go off and die in a gutter, you're supposed to go off and die in a gutter. How dare he take some time off and try to recover his livelihood.

Third poster makes a good point, though. There used to be degrees of sexual assaults

Harassment
Assault
Full on rape

Now it's all lumped together and gets really weird

I think it's pretty funny that Michael Ian Black, who seems to be one of the more prominent figureheads of the Twitter outrage army is saying it's good he's returning.

If the public is ready to accept him back, his performances will do well. If not they won't. Twitter rage is impotent unless it is backed with actual action behind it.

For the record, if I was Louis, I'd have probably taken a little more time.

The article says he got a standing ovation, so yeah the Twitter rage isn't doing anything against him.

The longer he suspends performances, the more credence he gives to those ridiculous accusations.

He should have been performing months ago.

Agreed. There are certain degrees of sexual assault. He admitted to the accusations, apologized and disappeared for a while. What more could he do? Retire and stay gone?

And I hope I'm not just being bias because I am a fan of his.

They weren't, but at the same time he asked for consent before doing so. If they said no he didn't do anything.

Not to excuse the behavior, but it sounded like he understood what he did was wrong and seemed to stop doing it when he reached the peak of his fame. I could be wrong on that though.

I didn't call them allegations. I called them accusations.

He took responsibility for them but that doesn't mean he actually did anything wrong. Adult women can decide if they're comfortable with the situation or not.

I know he never admitted it for years, but I don't think he called anyone a liar.

Do like Micheal Vick did when he got nailed for fighting dogs. Work with people who are fighting to end sexual harrassment in the professional comedy circuit. Speak on how what you've learned and how you've changed. He got a standing ovation...for what?

Why do the right immediately forgive, then forget their ethics the moment someone says they spoke to Jesus?

I'll take harsh ostracization over immediately getting transgressions.
(Obviously a middle ground is better.)

Didn't he have a movie premiere that was canceled? Whatever happened to that?

Also he lost a show on TBS and Netflix dropped him.
