Several other writers, however, spoke up afterward. Some, like feminist author Jill Filipovic, merely allowed for the off-chance of an improbable innocent explanation before the other shoe dropped. And he should face the consequences that go with that.īut just as Louis CK has his prominent defenders, so too does Toobin. Although I’m personally inclined to give Toobin the benefit of the doubt that he was merely caught masturbating, and not “doing a Louis CK,” Toobin’s case is the hypothetical in real life. Years ago, when Louis CK’s defenders rose up en masse to argue that their favorite masturbating comedian had done nothing wrong, the easiest rebuttal was: Imagine someone at a regular 9-to-5 job pleasuring himself in front of colleagues by the water cooler. If Toobin truly was glimpsed masturbating by multiple colleagues during a Zoom meeting, how was he not yet officially fired? Inadvertent or, shudder, intentional, it’s impossible to continue a working relationship with someone who has subjected his coworkers to on-camera onanism. Although the jokes continued after the late-afternoon update, they were joined by anger and incredulity.
