Louis C.K.'s alleged sexual misconduct was "common knowledge", according to one of his accusers.
The 50-year-old comedian was accused of exposing himself and masturbating in front of multiple women in a New York Times report published last week, and Rebecca Corry - who claims Louis asked if he could perform the act in front of her whilst filming a television pilot in 2005 - now insists "the comedy world" knew about the alleged actions at the time, and would "joke" about it.
Speaking in an interview with ABC News, Rebecca said: "It was just actually sort of common knowledge in the comedy world. People made jokes about it all the time."
Rebecca, 46, claims Louis approached her whilst she was working as a performer and producer on a TV pilot, which was being produced by Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
The star - who has since appeared in '2 Broke Girls' - declined Louis' request and says she informed Courteney and David at the time, who were both supportive and offered to cancel the production, but Rebecca didn't want to be "responsible for shutting down" the show.
