I've never kept that much of an eye on things, but didn't Stephen Colbert and Sarah Silverman actively campaign to maintain Louis' image in the face of the several charges that surfaced before the one that finally took him down? Have they spoken about it since? Powerful people covering for abusers and not suffering consequences from it risks the recent progress made being for naught as public/journalistic attention gets diverted. I don't think it was on the level that Colbert should be fired or anything, but public contrition would do wonders. Something like a simple: "Louis CK was my friend and colleague. I didn't want to believe his conduct was as bad as it was and I thought he could change. I was wrong. I enabled his predation. I'm saying this now so that others don't make the same mistakes I did." Silverman intervened also when Dan Harmon's misconduct came to light and there, at least, Harmon gave what seemed a thorough and honest recounting of the awful poo poo he did and an apology to the woman he had victimized. Hopefully what he said will actually influence those who listened to be more self-aware about their own patterns of behavior.
