Louis CK and Acting Career
Bailey met Louis CK sometime during her career, and they dated for some time before getting married in 1995 – they were in a relationship before Louis had found any fame in film and comedy circles. A few years later, she forayed into an acting career herself, and appeared in the 1998 film entitled “Tomorrow Night” which was directed and written by CK, and featured numerous comedians including the first on-screen appearance of Amy Poehler. The two continued to collaborate together in various projects, to which Bailey contributed in various forms, whether acting or art.
In 2001, Louis would write and direct another film, entitled “Pootie Tang” which was based on a sketch that appeared in “The Chris Rock Show”. The film was meant to be satirical in nature, and Alix would contribute art for the film, and during this time, her husband’s popularity would skyrocket. Soon after they would have a child, and in 2005 they had their second daughter. However, in 2008 the couple decided to divorce, but no details were shared regarding the reason, as they kept their relationship away from the media. The two have apparently remained on good terms, and share custody with their children. They also still own an apartment together.
Louis CK Controversies
Later on after their marriage, numerous controversies about Louis started to appear through various sources. He was early on known to be a controversial person, from having made remarks against the Catholic Church, but then the media broke the news that numerous women had started coming accusing Louis of making sexual advances towards them. He would go on to admit that he had a problem, and expressed regret over her actions. The events caused a backlash in Alix’s career, although Louis went on to say that now he is aware of the impact of his actions.
He was defended by several comedians including Sarah Silverman, who spoke on the program “I Love You, America” that she is close friends with him and knows that he is a great father, but at times, people we love do bad things. Regardless, Louis has gone on to create his own television show entitled “Louis” which is based on his real life experiences. However, the show also sparked controversy when an African-American woman was cast in the role based on his ex-wife Alix; he stated that they hired her because she was the best woman for the job.
