HBO has severed its ties with comedian and actor Louis CK after he admitted that several allegations of sexual misconduct made against him were true.
Last week, The New York Times published a report in which five women detailed the comedian's sexually inappropriate behaviour, including three who said he had masturbated in front of them.
The American comic initially refused to comment on the allegations when questioned by the newspaper. After the article was published he admitted that they were true in a statement.
Now, HBO has pulled all of Louis CK's project from schedules. The network said in a statement: "Louis CK will no longer be participating in the Night of Too Many Stars: America Unites for Autism Programs, which will be presented live on HBO on November 18.
"In addition, HBO is removing Louis CK's past projects from its On Demand services."
Past projects which had been available on HBO included comedy specials One Night Stand, Shameless and Oh My God.
The network FX, which airs his shows Louie, Better Things and Baskets, also ended its association with the comedian.
FX said he would no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation from the four shows it had been producing with him.
Meanwhile, Netflix cancelled plans to make a second stand-up special with CK.
"The allegations made by several women in The New York Times about Louis CK's behavior are disturbing," the company said in a statement.
"Louis's unprofessional and inappropriate behavior with female colleagues has led us to decide not to produce a second stand-up special, as had been planned."
Based on Louis CK's behavior, we are not making his second stand up special.

I Love You, Daddy, the film directed and co-written by C.K., was dropped by its distributors ahead of release.
"In light of the allegations concerning Louis C.K. referenced in today's New York Times, we are cancelling tonight's premiere of I Love You, Daddy. There is never a place for the behavior (sic) detailed in these allegations," the film's distributor, The Orchard, said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
The comedian's publicist, Lewis Kay, announced last Friday that he no longer represents the comedian.
As of today, I no longer represent Louis C.K.
