“Serious threats, targeting members of my family among others, and the organization of a demonstration are forcing me to do so. I don’t feel like a high-tension evening where people who have bought tickets risk being taken to task, ”he said in a Facebook post.
The event, a podcast recording set up to celebrate his two years of sobriety, would have been his first public appearance after nine women told the newspaper The duty having been victims of sexual assault or misconduct by him in the summer of 2020.
“This week, I announced my intention to hold a small event in question/answer mode in front of 25 people, in a small warehouse that I have quietly transformed in the last few weeks for this purpose. I thought I had finally found a healthy way to approach it all. This is obviously not the case, ”explains the fallen comedian, still on Facebook.
People who bought tickets will be reimbursed, he said.
