Sexual misconduct allegations against Louis C.K. In November 2017, comedian and Becky client Louis C.K. was accused by five women of sexual misconduct in an exposé by The New York Times, allegations C.K. later confirmed. In the initial Times story, comedians Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov accused Becky of telling them, via their managers, not to speak about their experience of C.K. exposing himself and masturbating in front of them after a show in 2002; given Becky's influence in comedy, the then-early-career comedians feared professional reprisal. Publications such as Paste and Splitsider called for Becky's dismissal from 3 Arts Entertainment. Pamela Adlon, until then a client of Becky, severed ties with him and 3 Arts following the scandal.

Personal life Becky is married to talent manager Lainie Sorkin Becky. She also worked at 3 Arts Entertainment until 2005 when she joined 360 Management;

Becky has shared in two Peabody Awards: in 2012, with six fellow members of the cast and crew of Louie and in 2016 with 14 other members of the cast and crew of Better Things.
