Controversy

On November 13, 2017, The Hollywood Reporter published that Pamela Adlon had fired Dave Becky after his client, Louis C.K., was accused by five women of sexual misconduct in a publication by The New York Times. In a publication by the Times, comedians Julia Wolov and Dana Min Goodman accused David Becky of informing them through their managers not to speak about their experience of Louis C.K. exposing himself and masturbating in front of them after a show in 2002.
On June 23, 2020, following multiple sexual accusations, 3 Arts Entertainment ended their partnership with Chris D’Elia.
