GOOD EVENING.
I AM RICK GARCIA.
DEVELOPING NEWS IN THE SEXUAL
ASSAULT SCANDAL.
ANNOUNCING IT HAS LAUNCHED A NEW
TASK FORCE TO FOCUS ON THE
SCANDAL.
A SPECIAL TEAM OF PROSECUTORS
WILL INDICATE WHAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT SENDS THEM.
RICK: THEM MOVE COMES ON THE DAY
STUNNING ACCUSATIONS WERE
LEVELED AGAINST A COMEDIAN.
STORIES FROM FIVE WOMEN WHO
ACCUSE LUIS EK OF SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT.
RICK: AMY JOHNSON IS LIVE WITH
DETAILS ON THE LATEST CLAIMS.
RICK AND PAT, IT SEEMS LIKE
EVERY DAY THERE IS A NEW
ALLEGATION.
TODAY IT IS LUIS EK.
A NEW ALLEGATION AGAINST JEREMY
PIPPIN.
THERE HAVE BEEN FIVE WOMEN
THAT HAVE COME FORWARD WITH
LOUIS CK EXPOSING HIMSELF AND
OFFERING TO PLEASURE HIMSELF IN
FRONT OF THEM IF NOT ACTUALLY
DOING THAT.
DANA HARRIS IS THE EDITOR IN
CHIEF OF INDY WIRE.
THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A
WHILE.
MY NEW FILM I LOVE YOU DADDY
WAS SET TO PREMIER IN NEW YORK
TONIGHT.
THAT HAS BEEN CANCELED.
HINTING THAT MAYBE THEY WILL
NOT RELEASE IT.
THEY PAID $5 MILLION FOR IT.
RELEASING A STATEMENT THERE
IS NEVER A PLACE FOR THE
BEHAVIOR DETAILED IN THESE
ALLEGATIONS.
AS A RESULT WE ARE GIVING
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION TO THE
TIMING AND RELEASE OF THE FILM
AND CONTINUING TO REVIEW THE
SITUATION.
THE PUBLICIST RESPONDED SAYING
LOUIS WILL NOT ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.
ACTOR JEREMY PIPPIN IT ALSO
FACING NEW ACCUSATIONS.
A THIRD WOMAN HAS COME FORWARD.
IF THERE WILL
WILL BE THREE OR FIVE OR 10.
IF THERE IS GOING TO
PERSON ACCUSED, THERE PROBABLY
MANY MANY MORE.
DENIED THE ACCUSATIONS.
HE SAID THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST
ME ARE ABSOLUTELY FALSE AND
COMPLETELY FABRICATED.
I WOULD NEVER FORCE MYSELF ON A
WOMAN.
I WAS COMPLEXED AS TO THE
MS. ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ME AND I
HOPE THEY DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE
STORIES THAT SHOULD BE HEARD A
RIPPLING EFFECT IS GOING ON IN
THE INDUSTRY.
A HUGE IMPACT FINANCIALLY.
SONY AND HOWEVER MANY MILLIONS
INVESTING INTO CHRISTOPHER
CLYMER.
KEVIN SPACEY HAS BEEN PULLED
OUT OF THE MOVIE ALL OF THE
MONEY IN THE WORLD AFTER
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM.
THE MOVIE DIRECTOR RELEASED
SCOTT SAYING THE MOVIE WILL
STILL PREMIER ON TIME.
WITH CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER.
LEGALLY, IT IS A NIGHTMARE.
YOU CANNOT HIRE SOMEONE WHO HAS
DONE THIS.
THEY TAKE ON THE LEGAL LIABILITY
IF THAT PERSON DOES ANYTHING
WRONG, IT FALLS BACK IMMEDIATELY
ON THE COMPANY.
LATE THIS AFTERNOON, HBO
ANNOUNCED IT IS DROPPING LOUIS
CK FROM ITS BENEFIT SPECIAL.
HBO IS ALSO REMOVING ITS PAST
PROJECTS FROM ITS ON-DEMAND
