Who Is Louis C.K.?
Louis C.K., born Louis Alfred Szekely on September 12, 1967, is an American comedian, writer, director, and producer.
He is best known for his stand-up specials and for the FX series Louie, which ran from 2010 to 2015. He has won multiple Emmy Awards and Grammy Awards for his comedy work.
Before his success as a headliner, he worked as a television writer, including for Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Chris Rock Show.
Who Is Alix Bailey?
Alix Bailey is a painter and artist.
She and Louis C.K. knew each other long before he became famous. They married in 1995, when he was still building his career as a writer and stand-up comedian.
Bailey has her own career as a figurative painter, based in New York. She is not a comedian, and her public identity does not depend on her former marriage.
One common mix-up is worth clearing up. The ex-wife character in Louis C.K.’s fictional series Louie was played by an actress, Susan Kelechi Watson. That character was fictionalised, and it was not a portrayal by Alix Bailey herself.

What Happened in 2017?
In November 2017, The New York Times published a report in which five women accused Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct.
The next day, Louis C.K. released a statement saying the stories were true. He said he had wielded his power irresponsibly and that he was remorseful.
The professional fallout was immediate and widely reported:
- FX ended its association with him and cancelled his overall deal.
- Netflix cancelled a planned stand-up special.
- HBO removed his work from its on-demand service and dropped him from an event.
- The distributor pulled his film I Love You, Daddy from release.
