Pamela Adlon commented on the Louis CK rumors in the days before The New York Times story came out

The Hollywood Reporter

“It hurts to read about things that people are saying about him,” said Adlon, who co-created Better Things with Louis CK and co-starred with him on HBO’s Lucky Louie, in an interview with KCRW. "All I know is that, I know about him as being my partner on a show that is the opposite of any of this kind of horrible, negative things.” Adlon, who has yet to speak out following The Times bombshell and Louis CK’s admission, also said: “He’s a good man. It’s just painful. It hurts right now, because people should be celebrating him, because he’s part of my show. We wrote the whole season together. It’s really hard and it’s confusing and I hate the whole thing. “
