It’s bad enough that Louis C.K. seemed to think it was totally okay to pull out his dick and masturbate in front of women without their permission, but now we all know that he’s allegedly not above infecting the few willing women with STDs.
In a series of recently leaked emails from 2012, we now know that Louis C.K., by his admission, allegedly passed on an STD to one of the rare women he could manage to entice into bed with him (what this woman was thinking, I’ll never know). The emails detailed the ending of a relationship between C.K. and restaurant owner Sarma Melngailis. Here is what C.K. said in the exchange:
“I understand you’re upset. This kind of s**t is tough. I never swore that I was clean. I told you I may or may not have given this to you. I’m sorry if I did. If you gave it to me, it’s okay. We all share the current human bloodstream, which includes this kind of stuff.”
So, what I understand is that Louis C.K. knew there was an excellent chance he had an STD and could infect someone, but figured he didn’t need to wear a condom? And he wasn’t 100% sure that was actually clean? This. Is Why. You. Get. Tested. You. Stupid F**k.
What I find stomach turning is the shitload of excuses he has. It’s not his fault because he never said he was clean and really, is anyone actually clean? And of course, “there are no good tests for guys and even that condoms don’t stop s**t.”
Now, I can’t lay all the blame on C.K. here. I don’t think there was any sign of misconduct; obviously, Melngailis could have demanded that C.K. either wear a condom or no sex. And she could have insisted that he get an actual STD test so she could see for herself whether he had anything. Personally, I think that’s entirely too much effort to go through just to sleep with Louis C.K., and she would have been better off moving on to someone else who had been sufficiently tested.
I’ll bet anything that in his youth, Louis C.K. was one of those guys who whined about not wanting to wear a condom because “they chafe” and “don’t make sex feel as good.”
