I don’t know the answers to these questions. The details here point me in a few directions. One is the customer who complained the next Monday that since it was a surprise he was deprived of the opportunity to decide in advance if he wanted to attend a CK show. Yes, he could have walked out, but that puts the burden on the public, rather than the club or the performer. I would rather see someone trying to comeback from this put his name up in advance and take his medicine, rather than try to sneak back. This also lets the market function.
Also, the report is it was a typical set - no comment on or acknowledgement of what he did. Jokes on the subject, even if self deprecating, are high risk of course. Still, I think if he wants to show he is ready to be given another chance he should somehow be prepared to address it. CK’s behavior is not like we found out he was doing cocaine back stage, or was fighting dogs or chickens. I don’t feel the need to punish him for bad behavior in general. But I’ll be dammed if I am going to reward bad behavior that helped him get ahead while harming others who might have become his competiton. Men create a climate which facilitates their own pleasure and comfort and undermines safety and advancement of women, and can not then be rewarded for it.
