The award win comes four years after Louis admitted to allegations of sexual misconduct, including masturbating in front of women. The Recording Academy faced criticism last year when he was nominated and now it’s getting even more backlash after honoring the comedian with a win.
The Recording Academy defended the nomination with Harvey Mason Jr. saying, “We won’t restrict the people who can submit their material for consideration. We won’t look back at people’s history, we won’t look at their criminal record, we won’t look at anything other than the legality within our rules of, is this recording for this work eligible based on date and other criteria. … We’re not going to be in the business of restricting people from submitting their work for our voters to decide on.”

I wonder if the careers of the women comedians Louis CK forced to watch him masturbate—who were allegedly threatened by CK’s manager—have recovered from the stigma of coming forward. Louis CK’s own career seems to have bounced back very well. https://t.co/gaUkkhRDYL

It's hilarious:
Same week White People are demanding Will Smith's career be killed, there's supercreep Louis CK over there getting a Grammy.— Kevin D. Grüssing (pronounced Grew-Sing) (@KevDGrussing) April 3, 2022
I say this as a former fan but I am really, REALLY not okay with whoever decided to UN-cancel Louis CK. No. Not ever. Did he serve time? Did he go back in time to fix the careers of women he blacklisted from the industry for attempting to speak out about his sexual abuse? NO. https://t.co/TmzmlLf3bJ

Louis CK just won a fucking grammy for best comedy album. This is beyond disgusting for all victims of SA, but is especially telling of how these revered institutions, in fact, do not give a fuck about victims of violence. They will ALWAYS foster and celebrate violence

Hearing about Louis CK winning a Grammy tonight, I’m reminded about how Issa Rae said the music industry is the worst and I’m starting to see her point. #GRAMMYs https://t.co/3eGsTJgcW8 pic.twitter.com/3ikHLK1y7A
