Louis C.K. made a very controversial remark while performing a stand-up show in front of a packed crowd in Israel this week.
The 52-year-old comedian has been shunned from Hollywood ever since he was called out by several women for sexual misconduct as part of the #MeToo movement.
During his show in Israel, Louis noted how he used to love living in New York City, but not anymore.
“I’d rather be in Auschwitz than New York City,” he told the crowd, drawing laughter and applause, according to THR. “I mean now, not when it was open.”
Louis was accused of sexual harassment by women who said that he requested to masturbate in front of them and they only gave consent as they feared their careers would suffer if they said no.
During the show in Israel, Louis admitted that his actions were a mistake. “If they say ‘yes,’ then still don’t do it, because it’s not popular,” he said.
