Louis CK and Tig Notaro had a strange relationship before the supposed, " SNL plagiarism scandal."

Well that so called  scandal didn't seem to go very far. I found out about by seeing this. 


https://www.datalounge.com/thread/18709126-%E2%80%98snl%E2%80%99-and-louis-c.k.%E2%80%99s-plagiarism-scandal-deepens-after-tig-notaro-deems-it-%E2%80%9Cextremely-disappointing%E2%80%9D-

A real scandal however - how she faked having a stalker and then faked having cancer- has yet to get fully exposed. Just saw that this post is getting tons of hits so I just am gonna cut and paste the parts that refer to Louis CK's participation in what I consider to be a scam.

For the short attention spanners out there (and I don't blame you cause I have a short attention span too)

Did Notaro tell anyone what she planned to do on stage?

Not all of it, of course, but Louis CK, would remember a detailed encounter with Notaro backstage, when he sold the set on his website, and when he set this out to all the people on his e-mail list. The Huffington Post wrote a whole piece dedicated to his "e-mail blast."

From Louis CK's Website:

 October 5th 2012- 

One night I was performing at a club in LA called Largo. Tig was there. She was about to go on stage. I hadn't seen Tig in about a year and I said how are you? She replied "well I found out today that I have cancer in both breasts and that it has likely spread to my lymph nodes. My doctor says it looks real bad. "

Three days later, Louis CK spoke to Terry Gross of NPR’s Fresh Air about the set.

October 8th 2012

So I went in and there was Tig and we're standing in the dark next to the stage and she's getting ready to go on. And I said hey, I heard you're sick. I'm sorry. And she said actually, I have cancer. And I was like what? And she said yeah, it's really bad and it's in my whole chest and it's going to go all the way to my lymph nodes and I'm not going to make it, probably. And she started telling me this stuff and, you know, my eyes filled up, I couldn't believe it.

Notaro to WBRC radio, and to Peter Holmes, and on her podcast:

"I didn’t talk to anyone backstage. I didn’t tell anyone." She went on to how shocked all the performers were afterwards.


How did Louis CK approach Notaro about releasing the tape? Woody Allen as witness?




According to Tig Notaro

“After the show It took her two months to agree to Louis C.K.’s idea to release it and is “shocked” that it’s become the No1 selling comedy album. “When you do a show it might generate chatter, but not go around the world,” she says.
(It was released at the Start of October- Cancer awareneness month, don’t ya know.)


On his website, Louis CK would say this about her reluctance to release the tape. https://buy.louisck.net/news/about-tig-notaro

“A few days later, I wrote Tig and asked her if I could release this set on my site. I wanted people to hear what I saw. What we all saw that night. She agreed.”

Vs. 

 Tig Notaro to Ariel Levy of Elle Magazine:



After the show, Notaro was revved up and stayed out with friends until 5 a.m. "I woke up at noon and turned my phone on, and it would not stop buzzing. Hundreds of e-mails, texts: ‘How are you?’ ‘I love you.’ From everyone I’ve ever known. It had just exploded on the Internet during the night; I was so confused. I had e-mails from my manager: Rolling Stone wants to talk to you, The New York Timescalled, book offers are coming in. It was like it was July and I came out of my bedroom and the house was decorated for Christmas, with a tree and presents and your whole family is there like, fa la la la la. What is happening?"

C.K. called to say he’d had a three-hour lunch with Woody Allen talking about her set, and wanted to sell a recording of the set on his website. (Called "Live," it has sold more than 100,000 downloads.)

Note: In nearly every version of this part- she says Louis CK called her the next morning and urged her to release it and she only agreed a week before October...

So, did CK e-mail her somewhat leisurely and have her agree a few days later, or did he call her the next day urging and pleading and such...? Or is Tig Notaro an insane liar. I go with the last one unless Louis CK is lying for whatever reason?

She would repeatedly make comments about how she only gave in after months of Louis CK's pestering. And, she always maintained that Louis CK called her the next day to urge her to release it because "It is very important."



A fist fight broke out... This is all during my set. I had to stay focused and talk to audience while people were pinning each other down and screaming. And one of the guys that left, the police broke his leg while they were holding him down.

WTF is up with NPR?



Ira Glass and Terry Gross put up Tig Notaro's cancer story. They then proceeded to promote it like mad. Many wondered why cause she came out of nowhere and the story wasn't' that compelling to begin with.

According to Notaro, the story of her impromptu cancer set was so hot that Ira Glass was begging for it. Pleading for it. On her ass for Pete's sake. The same night of the performance she e-mailed him to say " I think we got something here."  Then, Louis CK began hounding her for a chance to share such magic with the hungry Universe! Ira Glass played along, by all indications.And, just in time for cancer awareness month it was released.

Now, I’m sure most, if not all is, a complete sham. This was all a Nick Kroll production and Ira Glass should speak out, or at least get her on again to cross examine her about her new tales of cancer treatment and the endless inconsistencies in her story.... Same for Terry Gross, and all the “elite” media that feigned fascination with this cancer story and by doing so lined the pockets of a pathological liar and cancer scammer.

What motive for NPR? You see, Nick Kroll and family write NPR(and PBS and LACMA and Paley Center and assorted journalists and others)huge checks and other favors can be returned if they please the pernicious sheister named " Nick Kroll".

Were they duped?  Possibly, but they both strike me as too smart to fall for it and Gross heard Louis CK contradict much of what Notaro would say to her so... Glass I'd guess knows very well ,but of course I can't be sure until he comes clean, or makes those he enriched by a cancer scam, come clean.



 Note how they have not done a follow up on what they pretended was some big "STORY." Oh how they brayed about this legendary set though it will only be legendary as the worlds biggest, most profitable, and most publicized cancer scam

Before Tig Notaro's cancer scam was hatched, Ira Glass, put up an imbecilic grifter named Stef Willen for a " This American Life " segment on orders from Nick Kroll.  It made no sense then but it makes bad sense now.

NPR has also put up many Kroll "experts" and that is a very bad thing I assure you. They also seem to be fixated on the comedy of the children of the ultra wealthy or connected. What is that about? This is not about sour grapes but about seeing  NPR doing  super shifty things, as of late.

Was a cancer scam  below these two esteemed broadcasters? Was it an ends justifies the mean sitch? I.e Kroll gives us the money we promote his creepy friend, and lie for her too ( In Glass’s case) and we get to do real shows with the money Nick gets for us?


Sure, pull and money have always spoken, but a cancer scam because Nick Kroll wanted them to? Putting up a criminal grifter who stole a million from the taxpayers(Willen) so Nick is Happy? Strikes me as disgusting, but you be the judge when you want to donate to "public" radio.

Why doesn't NPR do an update on Tig Notaro's battle with cancer. C'mon Terry Gross and Ira Glass surely Kroll can afford an update



Were here breasts really removed?


This http://henypire.blogspot.com/2014/01/should-tig-notaro-win-grammy-for-best.html 
and the video of my blurry, but beautiful sister,
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yFKSu68pCU

trumped by some the understandable response that no one in their right mind would remove their breasts for kicks.

There is the belief that Ms. Notaro, must have had this major surgery. And, since she did then all improbables, impossibilities, and inconsistencies are to be disregarded.  Who can really blame any disinterested passerby buying into the stories told by her, and then to the press. Most can care less either way, and those who might care a little figure they can never find proof, either way.  Had I not been victim and witness to how twisted is Notaro, (And Nick Kroll who made this scam possible and then profitable)I would be amongst the public, in trusting whatever I might read about this person.

 Louis CK said it's true, so it must be, has been the only other sentiment used to bolster the position that Notaro is telling the truth. Actually that's not the only sentiment. Recently, a Joel Arsenault called my sister a "cunt" and went on to say that Tig Notaro is an entertainer and has all the right to invent cancer and profit from said fake cancer.

Again, it's understandable that those who don't know what Notaro is capable of-- would take her at her word but Joel Arsenault's response strikes me as beyond the pale cynical or insane.

When faced with this " Well, explain the mastectomy, then?" repsonse, I've felt frustrated by this only remaining hole in my case against her re: The cancer story. I can't access medical records.

 Indeed, sixteen days after the alleged major surgery that was said to have removed  both her breasts, she did look as flat as a fellow.in a tight t-shirt.

I'd imagine her chest would have been super sore just sixteen days, after, and she'd want to wear something looser, and I'd imagine that she'd look more stiff considering that she'd told certain publications that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes or alternately, she'd told Louis CK that "it spread all through my chest." But, that's just throwaway suspicion stuff, and not solid evidence. We figured that she might even have had surgery Ala Chastity Bono. When Ms Notaro began wearing men's suits the transexual angle seemed even more possible.

I know she has "tiny titties," because that is a big joke in one of her exhausted routines.  It's clear that pre-surgery, she had tiny buds as opposed to a bountiful bosom. In other words, if faking cancer was part of her newest venture in con artistry- she could easily have disguised said buds A la Boys Don't Cry. She, of course, would have to be very twisted to do that but I know that she is very twisted and that she lacks any moral compass  I witnessed her lie in the most obvious ways about serious things, and then for reasons that took me years to understand- she was able to get away with it. Here's a four word hint to tide the curious over, till the book is finished- NICK KROLL, IAN PUDDICK

But, back to the buds, and what became of them.

So, I'm sure that despite the series of inconsistencies, improbabilities, and outright impossibilities that surround the entirety of her cancer set story-- that part is a lost cause.

Until today that is

Today, someone put up these pictures as a means to make the allegations against her uncredible. Pre-Surgery

vs Post Double Masectomy:http://cdn.teamcococdn.com/assets/image/640x0/scale:max/sig:ee677f867d9c84d9abf2669523827ab9/0417_tignotaro_close-519cfa58bc653.jpg

 There clearly is a big weight loss between both images. Notaro said it was 30 pounds and that likely is one of the few non-lies she has told.

Still, the difference is profound . I figured she's doing a good tight halter, or sock around the( after extreme weight loss) breasts. Or, maybe she did have some breast surgery for Chaz Bono reasons.... Whatever the case, I am forever to be forgiven by any decent human being of suspecting anything that comes out of this sociopath's grimy yap. If I found out every word of her cancer story is true, it would defy all common sense, considering the link attached above, but I would not feel bad since considering what she did to me and my family, nothing i can do or say about her would be undeserved. Still, I have truth on my side, and always have. Trying to expose her(or stop her from harming me and my family,) by spreading the truth is what I've done from the start. The point is that I have no doubt she's lying, but if by some immense stretch of the imagination, I was wrong.... so what? It's like saying that Casey Anthony did tell the truth about having some surgery and it is wrong to doubt anything said by someone with that kind of history of DISHONESTY and ruthlessness.

But boy oh boy would it be nice to have a picture to paint a thousand words.

Two seconds after thinking that, but never thinking I'd find it, this after double mastectomy pic popped up. Notice the bra. This from the "Mortified Sessions." Given the 30 pound weight loss, it is entirely possible that these are how her breasts would look, if she didn't wrap them up enough etc. Will one slip, that exposed her bra, and the still existing bumps- convince the still unconvinced?
visible breasts and bra for the IFC mortified sessions in October or November of 2012- post double mastectomy.
