Louis C.K. said that he "felt free" after sexual misconduct allegations were publicized.
The comedian, who later admitted to the misconduct, said that losing his good standing in Hollywood was "beautiful."
C.K. also detailed his time in Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meetings and said that he wants to apologize for his actions.
Louis C.K. is reflecting on the sexual misconduct allegations that torpedoed his comedy career.
The Louie comedian, who was accused of sexual misconduct by five women in 2017 and later admitted that their allegations were true, said a weight was lifted off of him after his misdeeds came to light.
"When life f---s it up for you, when it gets torn up, it's a relief," the comedian told Theo Von during an interview on This Past Weekend. "That's why I felt free, because I had tried to manage these problems I had inside of me for so many years. And I tried to feel like I was a normal person. Or that I was what I thought of as a good person, but I was doing s--- in the background of my life that I was ashamed of."
He continued, "All of that is, like, you can't manage it. And so when you're in front of the world and that's going on inside of you, it's real hell."

C.K. said he "was hurting other people" while attempting to "tell myself I wasn't" and that some of his misconduct was "on the edge," including "using another person, but you got their permission first."
"You're still using another person," he continued. "You're not being with them, you're using them. That took me a long time to learn about that stuff."
The comedian also said he looks at the fallout of the public accusations against him very differently at this point.
"All of a sudden, nobody likes me," C.K. said. "I was just spinning. It was really wild. But now I look at that thing as a beautiful thing. I look at that as, like, God's hands, or whatever you want to call it. That was just like a good, caring thing that said, 'Dude, you need to stop. You need to stop. You need out of all this.'"
C.K. also extensively discussed his time in Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous meetings, claiming that his story has helped other attendees in the program.

"When I go to a meeting in person and there's a guy who's really hurting, his life's f---ed up and I approach him and he's not sure about being in this program," C.K. began. "He goes, 'Oh, I ruined my life.' And I go, 'Do you know who I am?' And he goes, 'Yeah.' And I go, 'I'm doing pretty good, buddy.'"
He continued, "The fact that my wreckage can be a mountain for folks to lean on, take a little load off — that's a beautiful gift."

C.K. said that he wants to be able to apologize for his behavior on a large scale.
"I really wish I could have a simple kind of watershed where I can say just 'Yes' to everything that happened, and I'm sorry," he said. "I really am. And I'm just trying to do better, and I don't think I can prove that to everybody, 'cause it's a private thing. It's a one-to-one man thing. It's not a famous guy act."
