Sarah Silverman has spoken out about the allegations of sexual misconduct against Louis CK, a long-time friend, asking whether it is possible to “love someone who did bad things”.

CK, whose stage name is derived from the phonetic spelling of Székely, his real surname, was accused by five women of masturbating in their presence, over the phone, or asking if he could.

He responded by admitting that the allegations "were true", as a string of media companies cut ties with him and the release of his new film, I Love You, Daddy, was cancelled.

Recording a monologue ahead of the latest episode of her new show, I Love You, America, the comedian said she is “very angry for the women he wronged and the culture that enabled it and also sad – because he’s my friend”.
