The head of FX said the network wasn't aware of Louis C.K.'s sexual misconduct while the comedian worked there, and also claimed an internal investigation didn't turn up any additional incidents of misconduct.
FX CEO John Landgraf told reporters Friday that FX had "no awareness" of C.K.'s sexual misconduct before the initial accusations against him went public in November. C.K., who owned up to the accusations, was producing four different shows on FX before the network cut ties with him.
SEE ALSO:Louis C.K. seemed like the guy who got it. Who said what we were all thinking. What a waste.FX launched its own investigation in November to see if C.K.'s misconduct bled into his time with the network and came up empty-handed.
"We did not find any issues, complaints or incidents of misconduct of any kind in the eight years we worked together," Landgraf said.
Landgraf mentioned that FX has sexual harassment policies in place and doesn't tolerate sexual misconduct.
"We're really diligent and really vigorous about seeking input, investigating these things and making sure there's appropriate action and consequences taken," he said. "It's not an easy process because it turns us into a investigative service and policeman when it comes to conduct. But it's necessary."
Despite rumors that circulated about C.K. before the New York Timespublished its report against him and an anonymous report from Gawker a few years prior, Landgraf said FX was unaware of C.K.'s sexual misconduct.
"We didn’t know about them," he told reporters. "The only thing I’m aware of was a blind item in Gawker."
C.K. worked with FX for nearly a decade, where his semi-autobiographical show Louieaired for five seasons. Additionally, C.K. was a producer on several FX shows including Baskets and One Mississippi, and was a producer and writer on Better Things.
Landgraf praised Better Things, created by Pamela Adlon (who had a recurring role in Louie).
"This is Pamela’s show. These are her stories, her life," he said. "She's going to have to write them all herself or find another co-writer. She's the font, the creative engine of that show… I have every confidence in Pamela."
In addition to FX cutting ties with C.K., HBO also cut ties with the comedian, and the premiere of his movie, I Love You Daddy, was canceled.
