Louis C.K. has been dropped by FX, hours after the star confirmed the validity of numerous sexual harassment accusations against him.
“Today, FX Networks and FX Productions are ending our association with Louis C.K.,” the companies said in a statement released Friday. “We are canceling the overall deal between FX Productions and his production company, Pig Newton.”
C.K. will no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation on the four shows he works on with FX Networks and FX Productions. These include FX’s “Better Things” and “Baskets,” Amazon’s “One Mississippi” and TBS’ in-development animated series “The Cops.” (TBS announced today it has suspended production on “Cops.”)
