's cancelation to be over and done with ... arguing the comedian has been exiled from Hollywood long enough.
The two comics addressed cancel culture during Maher's latest"Club Random" podcast -- where they advocated on Louis' behalf ... saying his #MeToo punishment was too extreme for what he ended up getting"canceled" over, which included claims of sexual misconduct.Maher added ..."Isn't it time everyone just went, 'Ok, it wasn't a cool thing to do, but it's been long enough. Welcome back to the world.
As BM explained it ... others who got caught up in #MeToo are guilty of far worse sins and received a lighter punishment, noting what Louis was accused of wasn't the end of the world.Remember, Louis was accused of sexual harassment by several female comics -- with the Emmy winner admitting toon a number of occasions. He apologized in 2017 ... acknowledging he had"wielded that power irresponsibly.
In the aftermath of the scandal, Louis lost out on several opportunities -- including"The Secret Life of Pets" sequel and an anticipated Netflix special. Plus, his movie"I Love You, Daddy"Burr addressed Louis' financial fallout on"Club Random," adding ..."They took 50 million dollars from him. I think they punished him." He didn't seem to think cancel culture was still active, however ... saying he hardly even thinks about it these days.
