Louis C.K. picked up an award at the 2022 Grammys, and the victory has rubbed tons of people the wrong way. On Sunday evening, it was announced that C.K. won the Best Comedy Album award for Sincerely Louis CK. This is his first comedy special since 2017, the same year he was accused of and admitted to sexual misconduct allegations.
C.K.’s win has led to a big response from social media users, who are expressing dissatisfaction over the outcome of the award competition. “I say this as a former fan but I am really, REALLY not okay with whoever decided to UN-cancel Louis CK. No. Not ever. Did he serve time? Did he go back in time to fix the careers of women he blacklisted from the industry for attempting to speak out about his sexual abuse? NO.” Scroll down to read more reactions from angry Grammy watchers.

“No Career”

“Bounced Back”
“Louis CK sexually harassed a gaggle of women but ‘he apologized’ and all was forgiven and won a grammy… but a slap,” tweeted one person, referring to Will Smith being heavily criticized for slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.

“Beyond Disgusting”
