The Wikis say that Stephanie Birkitt has an active law license in both California and Connecticut since just after the scandal broke.
I think we were all disappointed in Dave’s behavior at that time, but I still think he handled it pretty well, and better than most powerful men even in the post #metoo era. Of course on any meaningful metric his behavior (as far as we know) was less horrific than a lot of what came to light later. Dave was always at his best when making fun of powerful people and corporations. He was not at his best when, at times, he went after less powerful people. Prior to the current era self indulgent, self important young starlets were seen by many, including apparently Dave, as part of the powerful group it was okay to take down. It should have been clear, to people like Dave, but also many in his audience, like me, that these young women were closer to girls, and were subject the sexual exploitation and manipulation of powerful men and companies, no matter how much money they were paid, or how famous they were. We all failed that test, and are rightly criticized for it now. Again though, making fun of a troubled Lindsey Lohan, which should obviously have been abhorrent, is not sexual assault, is not Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Louis CK levels of bad. Whatever reckoning is coming for Dave (and many of us in his audience) is deserved, but should be proportionate.
