The disappointing part was that Louis accepted the accusations and admitted that the claims were all true.He stated,

“At the time, I said to myself that what I did was O.K. because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly."

After the revelation of the scandal, the comedian was fired from the movie The Secret Life of Pets 2 and his movie I Love You; Daddy has been canceled.

1. Harvey Weinstein Sexual Scandal

Harvey Weinstein has topped the charts of 2017's most scandalous celebrity with more than fifty women accusing the producer of sexual misconduct and abuse as published by the New York Times, The New Yorker and other magazine and newspaper outlets.
