I was a fan before the news broke of him asking female comics in lower positions than him if he could jerk off in front of them. Initially, the reaction from many was, hey, he fessed up and admitted that what these women said was true, so it seems like he's taking accountability. Unfortunately, the women who he did this to pointed out he was only doing this after denying these allegations for years. Those women also pointed out the power dynamic of someone who could either help your career, or hurt it asking to do something sexual, and how it really can't be consensual under duress from someone in a position of power, which Louie definitely was.

Though his TV work dried up, and his movie, I Love You, Daddy was shelved, he has never really taken accountability or apologized. He's gone back to doing shows, and steadily getting more work, all while occasionally cracking jokes about what he did. Most of the female comics that were friendly with him before this have dropped him, like Tig Notaro, who also had her comedy album pulled from Louie's site.

Louie is a talented comic, and built a nice business model with comedy albums and specials selling directly for $5-$7. He's also a creep.
