Comedian Sarah Silverman supports the #MeToo movement, but admits that she still has compassion for friends like Louis C.K. and former Senator Al Franken, who were caught in sexual misconduct scandals.
She told GQ that she's been focused on prioritizing forgiveness, even with people that she disagrees with.
She adds, "I think that there are people who were caught and there were people who were not caught, but the important thing is that they are forever changed. And if that?s the case, I don?t see any reason why they can?t continue being artists. Now, whether they?re popular artists or not is up to the audience. I have compassion.?
Fellow comedian, Louis CK has been publicly absent since his 2017 admission that he masturbated in front of women without their consent.
Al Franken resigned from the Senate after a photo surfaced of him groping an unconscious woman, who also claims that he once force kissed her.
Silverman adds, "?He may have touched some sideboob by accident, or a tush by accident, but I?m telling you, Franni is his best friend and constant companion, and he has eyes for no one else,? said Silverman, who added, ?I?ve worked with him for years. I?m so sad that he got bullied into resigning, because all he loved in this world was being a senator and representing the people of Minnesota.?
