Louis C.K
HBO is severing ties with  Louis C.K.  following a New York Times report that the comedian sexually harassed five women  with allegations spanning back to the late '90s.
The premium cable network has confirmed that it has cut  C.K.  from its Night of Too Many Stars charity telecast  an annual event which raises funds for autism services. HBO also announced that it will be pulling the comedian's stand-up specials and previous TV series â including Lucky Louie â from its on-demand platforms.
â Louis C.K.  will no longer be participating in the Night of Too Many Stars: America Unites for Autism Programs  which will be presented live on HBO on November 18 â an HBO spokesperson said  per Variety. âIn addition  HBO is removing  Louis C.K. âs past projects from its On Demand services.â
Meanwhile  FX Networks â the home of  C.K. 's Emmy-winning comedy Louie  where the showrunner has an overall deal and also executive produces Pamela Adlon's Better Things and Zach Galifianakis' Baskets â issued a statement in response to the report.
âWe are obviously very troubled by the allegations about  Louis C.K.  published in The New York Times today. The network has received no allegations of misconduct by  Louis C.K.  related to any of our 5 shows produced together over the past 8 years. FX Networks and FXP take all necessary actions to protect our employees and thoroughly investigate any allegations of misconduct within our workplace. That said  the matter is currently under review.â
Earlier Thursday  the premiere for  C.K. 's upcoming film  I Love You  Daddy  was canceled ahead of the New York Times' story  with the indie's distributor  The Orchard  revealing that the release plan for the film was being reviewed.
âIn light of the allegations concerning  Louis C.K.  referenced in todayâs New York Times  we are cancelling tonightâs premiere of I Love You  Daddy " the statement read. "There is never a place for the behavior detailed in these allegations. As a result  we are giving careful consideration to the timing and release of the film and continuing to review the situation.â
 C.K.  was also scheduled to appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday night before canceling his appearance  with William H. Macy now set to replace him as a guest  according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Allegations against  C.K.  come on the heels of accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against a number of high-profile Hollywood figures including Harvey Weinstein  James Toback  Kevin Spacey  Roy Price  Brett Ratner  Ed Westwick  Steven Seagal  and Jeffrey Tambor. Hours after the  C.K.  report broke  an allegation of harassment against Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner also surfaced.
