Sarah Silverman: I Let Louis C.K. Masturbate in Front of Me

Sorry, Sarah Silverman, but…


… cum again?


(Okay, truthfully, we’re sorry to our readers here.)



The comedian has made some very gross headlines by appearing Monday morning on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show and speaking on her friendship with Louis C.K.


Back in November, of course, C.K. was accused of five women of sexual misconduct.


They all said that the famous stand-up jerked off in their presence, an allegation that C.K. later acknowledged as true.


Talking to Stern, Silverman sort of defended her friend’s actions (or at least his mindset at the time of these actions) by telling a personal and disgusting story:


“I don’t know if I’m going to regret saying this,” she said. “I’ve known Louis forever, I’m not making excuses for him, so please don’t take this that way. We are peers. We are equals.


“When we were kids, and he asked if he could masturbate in front of me, sometimes I’d go, ‘F-c yeah I want to see that!’ …


“It’s not analogous to the other women that are talking about what he did to them. He could offer me nothing. We were only just friends.


“So sometimes, yeah, I wanted to see it, it was amazing. Sometimes I would say, ‘F-cking no, gross,’ and we got pizza.”



Well… okay then.


Not sure what else to say about that.


C.K. pleasuring himself in front of a woman who admittedly wants him to do so is fine of course. 


Especially, as Silverman notes here, when the two people involved are peers.


But C.K. pleasuring himself in front of women who did not give their consent and over whom he held power is unethical and wildly inappropriate.



Silverman’s point here, however, is that C.K. may not have realized this upon yanking out his junk in front of his victims.


“I’m not saying what he did was okay,” she said to Stern, explaining:


“I’m just saying at a certain point, when he became influential, not even famous, but influential in the world of comedy, it changes.


“He felt like he was the same person, but the dynamic was different and it was not okay.”


It was definitely not okay.



“I’m not saying everyone should embrace Louis again,” Silverman continued.


“I believe he has remorse. I just want him to talk about it on stage. He’s going to have to find his way or not find his way.”


Louis, of course, has now returned to the stage, despite many people thinking he hasn’t learned any lessons; suffered any consequences; or taking any steps to make anyone believe he regrets his actions.


Said C.K. in a statement after the aforementioned five women came forward:


These stories are true.


At the time, I said to myself that what I did was O.K. because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true.


But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them.


The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them.


Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions.



One of the women who sat and watched C.K. masturbate said the experience discouraged her from pursuing a career in comedy.


It ruined the entire entertainment industry for her.


Concluded C.K. in his statement:


I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.


I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn’t want to hear it..


There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with.


I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work.


The hardest regret to live with is what you’ve done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them…


I’ve brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother.


I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen.

Sarah Silverman Delivers Line of the DNC

In an election that features one side running the former host of Celebrity Apprentice, it"s only fitting that a comedian delivered what may have been the line of the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, right?


To open primetime coverage of the event, Sarah Silverman stood alongside Senator Al Franken.



The two awkwardly riffed for a few moments, often hearing chants of "Bernie! Bernie!" throughout the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.


These chants emanated from extremely loyal Bernie Sanders supporters.


They were so loyal, in fact, and some felt so strongly that their candidate deserved to be the Democratic nominee over Hillary Clinton, that some vowed to either not vote for Clinton or even vote for Donald Trump.


Which seems like utter insanity for a Democrat to do.


That"s where Silverman came in on Monday.


One of the most outspoken Bernie Sanders supporters during his primary race, the comedian could not handle the madness for another moment.


“Can I say something? To the ‘Bernie or Bust’ people, you’re being ridiculous," she said.



As you can see below, the remark was mostly met with loud cheers.


Soon enough, however, the "Bernie!" chants started up again and Silverman was forced to quip:


“Thank God they can fix this in post."


That"s a pretty great line (the speech aired live, of course).


What do you think of Silverman"s quote? Is it her place to make such a judgment?


Does the Sanders crowd have a right to be upset and voice their opinion?


Or, in the name of party unity, should they suck it up at this point and vote for a candidate who still shares many more values with Sanders than Donald Trump?


Watch Silverman deliver her line below and then watch the reaction of those in attendance:

Sarah Silverman Poses as Hitler to Discuss Trump Comparisons: WATCH!

Now that the primary elections are well underway and Trump is actually still in the lead, people are getting scared.


So scared, in fact, that they"re comparing him to the scariest of the scary monsters in all of history: Adolf Hitler.


Everyone from Louis CK to Bill Maher to Glenn Beck has likened the GOP front runner to the World War 2 dictator, with the former only half-joking when he said, "Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all."


In light of the recent controversy, Conan O"Brien invited Hitler himself – okay, it"s really Sarah Silverman playing Hitler – on his show to address the comparisons.


She hilariously comes out clad in full Nazi regalia and naturally greets the audience with the infamous Hitler salute.


Conan goes straight in and asks what he thinks about the unfavorable comparisons to Trump.


"Don"t get me wrong, Conan, I agree with a lot he says, a lot," Silverman"s Hitler says. "Like, 90 percent of what he says, I"m like, this guy gets it!"


"But it"s just – I don"t like the way he says it, it"s just, it"s crass."


She then brings up the other most talked-about issue of the recent Republican debates – Trump"s penis size.


"What kind of person talks about his penis size on national television?" she says. "Oh, yeah, I"m so sure Donald Trump has a big penis. I famously have a micropenis – that"s what makes a tyrant!"


Silverman, who is famous for her comic persona as a Jewish-American princess, actually portrays Hitler as a lovable little asshole compared to Trump, and it"s freaking hysterical.


(We"re sure Kanye West is secretly seething behind his wife"s back about the impersonation.)


As for the rest of you, watch and enjoy!

Sarah Silverman Thinks Jesus was "Gender Fluid"

Sarah Silverman has once again raised the ire of many Christians due to her controversial characterization of Jesus Christ.



In early 2014, Silverman starred in a video in which the Son of God was depicted as a feminine type, someone who could chat about NCIS as easily as life’s big mysteries.


That video was made in order to promote “V to Shining V,” a national reproductive-rights pride day in which rallies were held across the country.


Now, however, Silverman is in trouble for thoughts she has shared regarding Jesus Christ that she wrote simple for her own pleasure.


“MERRY CHRISTMAS!” the Jewish comedian wrote on December 25.


Simple and nice enough, right?


But then she added:


“Jesus was gender fluid!”


And that last line is what opened the critical floodgates on social media.


“@SarahKSilverman Christians “turn the other cheek.”Easy to make “jokes” about their religion.Take a stab at Islam and Mohammed, THAT’S edgy,” wrote one Internet user, while another added:


“@SarahKSilverman Jesus was about as Gender fluid as YOU are funny…#idiot”



Silverman, of course, did not respond to every critic.


But after one referred to her as a “piece of sh-t,” the star replied:


“Oh sweetie.  You deserve love. Please know that.”


Last year, after the release of her aforementioned video, Silverman said she had no issues at all with Jesus Christ or those who follow his teachings.


“[T]o me, I love the symbol of Jesus,” she said. “It’s so odd to me that so many people on the far right use his name to justify terrible things that I can’t imagine he’d approve of…


“I’m not against Christianity. I date Catholic men! That’s always what they come back with, ‘Sarah Silverman mocks Christianity!’


“I’m not! As a matter of fact, I have no religion and many people in my life that I love and respect and even look up to have religion. I’m not out to prove them wrong.”

Khloe Kardashian Would Sleep with Bill Clinton, Sarah Silverman

In her latest promo for her upcoming talk show, Khloe Kardashian is sitting inside a martini glass.


But in the latest blog entry on her official website, Khloe Kardashian is talking about who she’d let inside of her. Allow us to explain…



Kardashian had some fun on her app this week, playing a game with herself of “F-ck, Marry or Friend Zone,” a kinder variation of “F-ck, Marry or Kill.”


So… which comedian would Khloe sleep with? Which U.S. President would she marry? Which famous Disney character would she simply befriend?


The opening round called on Kardashian to differentiate between Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler and Tina Fey.


She went ahead and placed Handler in the Friend Zone because “we’re good friends in real life and I love her.”


Kardashian then said Fey was a marriage material because “she seems like she’d be a good wifey,” which left Silverman as the star she’d totally band because she’s “smoking hot.”



From there, Kardashian entered the political fray by putting George W. Bush in the Friend Zone, adding that she would “marry Obama, for sure” and then joking:


“I guess that means I do it with Bill!”


Call us crazy, Keeks. But we’re guessing Bill would do it with you, too.


Finally, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was left choose between iconic Disney princes.


The options were Beast from Beauty and the Beast; Prince Charming from Cinderella; and Aladdin.


Kardashian acknowledged some of her bad boy tendencies by stating “I’d f-ck the Beast – I did want to f-ck the Beast back in the day, LOL.”


Marrying Prince Charming was a “no-brainer,” while Aladdin was relegated to the dreaded Friend Zone because “he doesn’t do it for me.”


Ouch. Burn. Well, at least Jasmine doesn’t need to worry about Khloe as a threat in this case.
