Amid the torrent of accusations leveled against powerful Hollywood men in the frenzied first few months of the #MeToo era, industry observers often shared the same jaded expectation. Short of arrest or indictment, the thinking went, the accused would be back on their feet after a brief time-out and a few memory-cleansing news cycles, carrying on with their careers unaffected. The dollar is king; Hollywood always forgets; etc.
This hasn’t happened. In fact, comebacks — if they materialize at all — are strikingly and significantly circumscribed. One of #MeToo’s greatest victories, at the practical level, has been its unrelenting administration of professional punishment.
They're all thriving and living fine lives so what cancellation did they face apart from mild embarrassment if any?
He Won A Grammy!‽!‽?‽?
Oh shut the hell up
Louis C.K. just won a grammy a few months ago.
Could I please borrow someone’s wife and maybe a daughter?
Louis is doing fine. He's released new videos and was even recently on Joe Rogan. He's just not celebrated publicly anymore, which isn't such a bad punishment compared to what he did.
cool!
Good. They can stay gone.
Good. Let that be a lesson to others.
meanwhile -- charlamagne
That's the point of being canceled - we don't want 'em. Duh
Who fukcing cares.
Yessss associate his image with other sexual predators currently in court while quoting yourselves using the term cancellation
What in the name of all that has ever been fucked, are you talking about?!
🖕🙄
I'm sorry, what? WTF have ANY of them done to even begin to earn forgiveness? Now that you've written up this little fluff piece about them, how about you go ask the people who've come forward what THEIR lives have been like since working with these fucking predators?
The tone of this article is quite odd. Argument nominally is that the pessimism expressed at the start of me-too that men would face any lasting consequences was wrong. But wrong bc activists ganged up on the men, and that's bad? I don't get it.
Sure, they still have economic & professional opportunities beyond what mere mortals could conceive, but not as astronomical as they once were. Truly we have brought these lords of Olympus down to... not earth, but Gramos, Ida, one of the other really high greecian mountain tops.
It hasn't affected their lives beyond people consider it wrong and continue to rightly judge them for their own actions.
Spacey. Yikes.
The 64th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3, 2022. Canceled, my ass.
Who wrote this? I refuse to click the link
Good. They shouldn’t get to return.
be quiet
?
This is pretty pathetic.
Louis C.K. won a Grammy this year. WTF is your idea of returning from 'cancellation' - getting EGOT status? Whhhhaaaahhh, these men aren't doing EVEN BeTTEr tHAn tHeY aRE - tHeY WuZ cAncElleD!!!! Wonder how your female staffers feel about this...
He won a fucking Grammy
thr assualters kept having to live with the consequences of their actions? cool
Damn, another case of brainworms in journalists, what a shame 😔
In a just world they would still be in the stocks or crow cage in the town square
Louis just won a Grammy

“Sure Louis C.K. has money and just won an award, but you’re only really uncanceled when society has collective amnesia about all the bad things you said and did”
Yes They Have You Boot Licking Dolts.
You're saying that *2022* GRAMMY-WINNING COMEDIAN hasn't returned from being cancelled. Sit with that for a second.
ok so since louis ck is doing great financially and just won a grammy, i guess what you mean by “not fully returned from cancellation” is “people still seem to be generally aware of what he did”
Joe Biden is doing pretty good.
good
Holding someone accountable for their actions isn’t “canceling” them. These are all ppl that are still wealthy, still working, still out of jail.
Yeah, and? Nor should they be. They deserved what they got!
Dumb
Ew. who the fukk wrote this?
People, no. Y'all spend too much time in Hollywood, this is not what people think, feel or believe.
I didn't know WINNING A GRAMMY was considered as 'never recovering'
this sounds like you want them to return
“Cancellation” is a weird way to spell “literally a criminal who did crimes”.
Cry more honestly. Louis CK literally won a Grammy and you waste time doing a piece on all the poor men instead of the women they harassed etc… Wtf are you even doing 🤦♂️
fuck allllll the way off
Didn’t Louis literally win a Grammy this year
WTF are you talking about?
Have any of the people whose history you are trying to whitewash ever tried to make amends to the people they hurt? Any of them at all?
Damn I hope none of accusers gave you exclusives. I hope you broke zero stories, and negative stories in the future.
Not even Louis C.K. who only won a Grammy this year.
Did you really just write an article lamenting that sexual predators are selling out MSG but not to their desired audience? Or that another predator is getting paid millions to run a studio but it isn’t as prestigious as his last studio? Jesus guys. Jesus.
Ew. Also why is this like stages of creepy round faced men with no hair?
Chris Hardwick was, no body brings up the fact he was wrongfully accused.
Defending pedophiles is really on brand for you huh?
For the people who want to know who wrote this garbage but don't want to give them clicks
What do you want us to do else? Watch him while jerking himself off
Umm…WHAT!?
God I wish that were true
Should someone be able to totally return from sexual assaulting people? Like I believe in redemption and rehabilitation but not in forgetting. And I'm talking about people who have done the work and changed.
Why would you write this?
well they're sex criminals, so probably don't phrase it like it's a bad thing
Lol. Okay...
Lol why would you print this?
Imagine being held accountable
They didnt return to pop culture. Those that do these crimes outside of pop culture are still thriving
Will nobody think of the rapists?
True, because they were never 'canceled' in the first place.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t CK ask consent before doing what he did? Like the asked the women no?
No shit cancel culture doesn’t work.
Cancel culture is over lmao
Louis CK won a Grammy this year.
In other news, Hitler’s reputation has not completely recovered in the 77 years since World War 2 ended.
Why are you caping for rapists and abusers?
Fucking bullshit
They've all fully returned. What in the F is this article talking about. Straight up abuser sympathizing, rehabbing.
Why are they all so hideous?
Seriously? Suffering the consequences of one's horrific actions towards women is not cancellation. JFC.
Didn’t C.K. win a Grammy this year?
I mean…
Is a Grammy a consolation prize now
if they can still make a living as entertainers or in showbiz, they are not “canceled”
imagine giving a fuck about Just How Well These Men Are Doing in 2022. they’re totally fucking fine, people are dying, get a grip
John Lasseter put out a movie in August with a voice cast full of A-list actors (shout out to Emma Thompson for quitting when he came on board)
Oh no, did he not fully recover from people finding out he would masturbate in front of unwilling women?
Winning a Grammy doesn’t prove “cancellation” isn’t real and these people can continue to sexually assault victims?
He won a Grammy, guys.
Quit your jobs and go do something useful like town punching bag. Jfc
Is he working? Yes. Is he still repped? Yes. Does he still own his house, his car, have money in the bank? Yes. DID HE WIN A GODDAMN GRAMMY IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS? YES
Louis CK has won a grammy this this year. David O Russell literally has a big hollywood movie coming out THIS WEEK. Heck, even Travis Scott is doing gigs again. What TF are you talking about?
so further 'cancellation' is needed?
I have an idea. What if we cancel Gary Baum next.
Hey, this will not go well for you, just letting you know
ratio
L
🤡
So apparently Louis CK won a Grammy in the year of our lord 2022. Quite the 'cancellation'
Liars
There is no such thing as *cancel culture.* It’s accountability culture and it’s long overdue.
hey, what do you think 'cancelled' means?
Shit the fuck up
Of course y'all had the most date rapey lookin ass dude on staff write this garbage.
And I’m supposed to care about them, why?
These people committed crimes
So I guess a Grammy doesn't count?
Delete this
He just won a fucking Grammy.
Do you guys not know what things mean?
Some are in jail. Some are criminals. Good.
Oh be quiet
Written by a man of course
the writer for this piece has real 'my dad will sue you if you report me for sexual harassment' vibes
Boo Fucking Hoo😭 Dont be Predatory Creeps & You wont have to Deal with the Consequences 🤷♀️ Not 'cancellation', CONSEQUENCES.
This is horseshit to help enable abusers
1. They were revealed to be predators. 2. They're still getting work; Louis C.K. even won a Grammy (Which proves Homer Simpson was right about them being worthless)
See the English comedian stewart lee does an entire bit about this in his new show snowflake and to a lesser extent his newer show tornado but I can only imagine a room of yanks wouldn't get it
And yet here he still is. And you're still talking about him.
Let me rephrase - these men abused and harassed women (or other men) because they are rich and powerful. Today most people still find what they did unacceptable.
No one fucking cares.
What are you talking about? That fucking creep is riding high
Good. They don’t deserve a comeback. Your mom, sister, auntie, wife, daughter, grandmother, NONE OF US deserve to be gaslit about their horrific abusive behaviors. If you or I did it we’d have to change our ways (eternally) and move far away to begin over as a better person.
MeOnly© is desperate to recover from JohhnyDepp's dismantling of its creepy big-gelt grift. the HR shilling for this ichorous coven of phonefeminist ACLU lawyers & male-despising corporate suits is sad. just sad.
Louis won a Grammy. WTF are you talking about?
But he has
Well, they're sexual predators so
The sicko won a Grammy! Are you high?! Did you fire all your editors?! How does this make it to press?
Must be the same kind of cancellation that makes Rowling trend every week
That would even commission this abuser puff piece by garymbaum really speaks to how the outlet feels about victims. LCK won a Grammy this calendar year, ffs.
What? Check the Grammys
You suck.
If you love sexual abusers so much garymbaum, maybe you should try listening to Louis C.K. jerk off or getting drunkenly raped by Kevin Spacey
He…won…a…Grammy!
So you guys didn't do like... *any* research on this, huh?
Why are you talking about the predators as if they are the victims, and not, idk, the actual victims
He. Won. A. Freaking. Grammy.
Why should they 'return'? They're criminals.
Maybe we'll see this sketch on the SNL debut tonight? shrimpJAJ, SarahSquirm MeToo LouisCK 💦🪴
You suck
Well, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.
If I get “cancelled” will I also win a Grammy and retain a net worth of $35 million?
Nobody has been canceled. The biggest consequence is spending a few months in self imposed time out. CK took a couple months off and started doing unannounced stand up shows, even trying material to please the right wing, trans jokes and mocking victims of school shootings.
are you seriously using the word “cancellation” interchangeably with sexual assault
nor fucking should they.
So? I couldn’t give less of a fuck. Have the people they victimized fully returned? Have they had their stolen opportunities and time repaid? Until that day, the victimizers can cry me a river.
Trump’s doing OK, back on the Forbes 400 List.
MeToo Fucking Loius CK won jus a grammy and his shows are booked, and most of the others have still careers, but you kno who didn't returned? Many women who spoke out or the ones who didn't but were victims, also some men off course..
1. They weren’t cancelled, they faced consequences of their behavioral choices. And 2. Louis CK just won a Grammy! Not sure what kind of return you were rooting for, but that seems pretty good
Why are you guys out here lying. The man won a Grammy this year.
Louis CK just won a Grammy.
Is it worth it? Whatever you’re being paid to write this utter garbage, stupefyingly amiss clickbait - is it worth it? Is this what you had in mind when you decided to become a writer? Do you think this qualifies as journalism?
Stop this crap. It’s not true. And hundreds of women had their careers sabotaged by these men.
Louis won a Grammy in April of this year. John Lasseter released a movie on Apple TV+ last month. Kevin Spacey has three movies in post right now. What the fuck are you talking about?
Who cares?
Ya’ll care more about attempting to victimize mine and prop up these pervs than the victims they abused…you know, the actual people whose lives were ruined by the creeps? It’s so gross.
but what about the men
Fucking what?
this is pure bullshit. they weren't canceled. they still all have albums, are touring, and even winning awards. they should've been banned forever from performing in public.
In what way we're they canceled? They lost nothing.
He won a Grammy are y’all high?
And rightly so. Why should predators be allowed to return? Besides it’s not cancellation, it’s just the logical consequences of your actions. Don’t make them the victims.
What in the victim-blaming rape culture is this?!?
This take is so bad that now THR is cancelled lol. By that I mean muted. Bye bye.
This. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
hey everyone today's old b*itch ass misogynist crying victim is garymbaum update your lists accordingly
Jesus, Gary. Sort your life out.
Louis CK, this year’s Grammy Award winner?
BS.
What about Neil Degrasse Tyson
🤮
That's one awful article. Some of those people were credibly accused of horrible things. Why should they get back the same life they'd otherwise have had? Their victims don't. We all make choices and they all have consequences. MelGibson
Fuuuuuuuuck you
Wah wah won’t somebody think of the poor… let me check my notes… perpetrators of sexual violence? You sure this is the take you’re going with? You don’t want to rethink this one?
Good.
Did a d̶o̶g̶ sexual predator write this?
WtELF ...
I have no idea who three of those guys are
How can they return? They never left
Louis CK lost the humility than made him charming.
Louis C.K. won a fucking Grammy THIS YEAR
Most of the people that claim they are 'cancelled' are still doing things despite being terrible people. It's just that their audience is also comfortable with being terrible.
TIL that cancelled forever means winning a Grammy and booking the Madison Square Garden
How many shows does he have to do at Madison Square Garden before you stop with this shit!
🧐
Are you fucking kidding? You're still batting for him! There never was a cancel culture - just folks like you, continuing to support rapists and sexual harassers.
Actually not wrong
Shame on whomever thought publishing this trash was a good idea.
GFY and the Rapey McRapersons you keep defending.
Kevin Spacey is currently facing trial in the UK for 4 counts of sexual assault. That’s not cancellation, those are consequences. I imagine it’s a liability to have sexual predators on a set. garymbaum should maybe consider the victims of all of these men.
Lol, I knew a dude wrote this before even clicking the link
Oh bullshit! No one should return from SEXUALLY ASSAULTING PEOPLE. Not to mention all of them have been doing g things recently
Truth. Louis C.K. has absolutely not fully returned from ... [checks notes] ... um.
HE LITERALLY WON A GRAMMY FOR MAKING JOKES ABOUT HIS ASSAULTS! JESUS H. FUCKING CHRIST!
1. The lifetime prevalence of PTSD for a person who has been sexually assaulted is 50%. 94% of people experienced PTSD symptoms during the first two weeks after an assault. Economic cost of sexual violence in the U.S. in the trillions of dollars (lost wages, medical costs, etc)
Are you serious? unreadable
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
cancellation? Most of these men committed crimes, you know? none of them went to prison. One of them (allegedly) had his accusers killed.
Ok, why do they deserve a 'full return?' They fucked up. Understanding consequences is a toddler-level lesson.
What the fuck are you doing
Imagine that instead of framing this article in a way that is sympathetic to actual sexual predators, you instead chose to see their victims as real human beings? Imagine a world where you didn't suck at your job. Wow!
He's done a lot better than the women whose careers and well-being he destroyed. Please shut up with this garbage.
Did Louis write this himself?
Tell the boss I’m almost done with my counterpoint piece, “No One Cares What These Sexual Predators May Have Lost”
Who cares? These useless boys brought that shit upon themselves. The real question is how are their victims doing? metoo
Fucking delete this.
Even if this were true (it’s not) so what? Good. That was the point. They shouldn’t return because they’re dangerous people.
CENTERING SEX PEST MEN FOR CLICKBAIT ISIT 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Good
Think of their bank accounts!!!!!
Great if it were true
Were they “cancelled” or perhaps just held minimally accountable for their predatory actions?
Let us pray.
Have the victims careers that these predators damaged and/or ruined recovered? Got an article about that? Then—
He won a fucking grammy
I'd say 'good' if this headline were actually true, which it isn't.
Oh were they all charged and jailed? Or did they experience some other actual consequences? Missed that. Tell me, how are the women that were harassed and abused? How are their careers faring? How’s their mental health? 🤔
He won a Grammy this year wtaf are you talking about?!?!?
Ummmm these people were cancelled because they are sexual predators. I hope they never return Wtf is this
Trump was President for 4 years.
Good
cope
Nonsense!!!!!
Ah yes, let’s honour Me Too by writing about… the men 🤦🏻
Why is this your focus? On these shitty men Seriously?
Stop lying
What 'cancelled' looks like:
Because cancel culture is not real. It never was.
'Won't someone please think of the poor abusers and rapists?'
These men were not canceled. They were revealed to be harassers and/or predators. There's a difference.
Uh... Sia.
ONE OF THE CANCELLED GUYS WAS PRESIDENT
If they are not guilty at all, and they are talented enough, I see no reason they simply got removed.
John Lassester is at Skydance. Quit the BS here.
1. Quit giving the dudes credit 2. John Lasseter is working at Skydance, Louis C.K. got a grammy. Quit lying.
CK isn't all the way back but he's definitely not cancelled. He'll never be all the way back for sure but that's very different than saying he was cancelled. I agree there's a ceiling but where is that ceiling. Shia is already starring in one movie and rumored to be in another.
fuckmetoo
WHO CARES?!
GFYS
The Dixie Chicks were punished more harshly for criticizing George W. Bush than any of these clowns have been.
louis ck won a grammy this year wtf are you talking about
o no you shidded ur pants
I am fairly certain you mean CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS.
good
They’re all abusers, not victims. What the actual fuck?
won't somebody think of the predators!!
The fact that none of them are in the spotlight doesn't mean much when you remember that none of them have seen the inside of a prison cell.
They're fine. Now do a piece on the victimized women.
are you... are you crying?
Louis just made a movie. He has been doing the rounds on podcasts, hes fine.
Shut... Uuuuuuuuuup
Cant believe all these people are poor and homeless now
David O. Russell, Ezra Miller, and Shia LaBeouf still got FREE PASS and haven't get accountibility though.🤮 MeToo
Oh, no! You mean that people who abused their colleagues and destroyed careers need to do more than sit around for five years for people to trust them after exposure? Why, that almost sounds like reputations are built through hard, caring work, and not granted from on high...
Didn't LCK win a Grammy? Love them HATE CLICK$$$
By all accounts this article is trash, but what I want to know is what’s this?
Poor things.
Fully thought this was satire from TheOnion 🤷♀️
kathygriffin suffered more consequences for a political statement than these perverts for their misogyny.
'Cancellation' is a fascinating euphemism for 'having committed sexual assault'.
fuuuck youuu
Feeling brave and empowered enough in today's current climate to say 'Shut the fuck up, Hollywood Reporter'
Louis is playing Madison Square Garden next year:
So you you’re just like, lying?
and dan Schneider still walks free ...
You‘re talking about the men, and NOT the women whose careers were derailed because they came forward?
Some one need to remind those closely associated with Harvey Weinstein either by business or marriage
Sometimes you try to get people to find out if the whole article is as dumb as the headline, but no thank you. The point of cancellation is to make people move forward, not return back.
Kevin Spacey is a statutory rape I’m confused
1. not true. like, not even a little bit. 2. if it WERE true, would that be bad?
So... cancelation is real after all? I thought your thing had always been that that was an invention of the right.
Look I know your bosses are telling you to write the worst articles ever written in order to generate hate clicks but there are like... idk... animal shelters and post offices and stuff you could also work at. You don't HAVE to write shit like this.
'fully' returned. as if returning at all should be on the table for these asses
…
real “Harvey Weinstein is the real victim” vibes
Cancelled doesn’t have a definition anymore
Louis’ fans most all seem to love him still
cancellation is only Twitter 😂😂
Don’t need to read this article.
These dudes all fucked up. None of them are johnnydepp having been falsely accused.
What’s are you even talking about? Louis C.K. Won a Grammy earlier this year.
Aziz still not all the way back either… you can tell he’s still traumatized by being thrown to the mob for the crime of being a bad date.
Maybe that's because in the examples you've given, they haven't shown a significant amount of contrition and haven't been legally reprimanded. Redemption requires some perceived level of humility and acceptance on the part of the wrong-doer.
garymbaum may want to check things before writing. '..though there’s little indication he’ll fill the venue with the type of general audience an ambitious craft comedian like him wants most to win over.' Hmm, TheGarden is almost sold out.
So to be clear Louis CK is still “cancelled”? And then in the article it tells the reader he won a Grammy this year and is MSG next year? 🥱
that's a good thing
The man who is still doing shows and won a Grammy? Sure...
Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album - Louis C.K. 😮💨🤔Why not be honest that the change we assumed would happen didn't take place
🔥🔥🔥 “The key rhetorical strategy is to treat even the most tentative recovery bid as a prelude to undeserved redemption, ensuring the continued radioactivity of the accused and threatening guilt by association to anyone who assists them.” - MeToo
how many required any proof? headlines alone destroyed their careers. These accusers knew that. What did they have to lose throwing out lies? This idea that we are not allowed to question those accusations its so ass backwards. Justice is a two way street
lol, CK easily did, are you insane? He just made an incredible film, was on every single relevant podcast, he sells out every single venue he goes to. He is loved more than ever before. Please do your research before you cover a topic like this.
Am i supposed to care? Because these men still have a platforms, shows, sold out events etc.
