Comic Louie Anderson

I was just thinking about Louie Anderson today, his cartoon show Life awith Louie rocked. I see he’s now playing a Zach Gilafanakis’ mom on “baskets” and won an Emmy for it.

Any gossip on him? He’s gotta be family right.

He's had to pay off people for harassment.

I just assumed he was family.

He’s brilliant in “Baskets”.

R1 For real? It must have been scrubbed from google because I can’t find anything on that.

Yep R3 Some guy blackmailed him after Louie initially gave him some "go away" money. Guy shook him down for more. Louie ended up going to the authorites. Scroll down.

Kinda random seeing this thread because I saw him on tv late last night on this ridiculous game show called Funny You Should Ask. and I do fondly remember his cartoon show as a kid.

Louie, describing himself during a televised interview: "I sway when I walk."

not harassment - he just propositioned some asshole who then extorted him. he came from a terrible background and seems a sweet sad guy. he is extraordinary on baskets - the only reason to watch the show

“American comedian Tom Rhodes has accused fellow stand-up Louie Anderson of sexual assault.

Rhodes alleges that Anderson brought him back to his Beverley Hills apartment when he was 19 under the pretence of 'hanging out'.

Instead, he cornered the then rookie comic, cupped his buttocks and tried to kiss him.

Rhodes, now 50, recalled that he 'wasn't afraid'. But that he had felt 'ashamed and disgusted' afterwards and 'didn't tell anyone for years’.
