Chloë Grace Moretz distances herself from her upcoming film "I Love You, Daddy", in which she co-stars with Louis C. K., who also directed and wrote the comedy.

Following new allegations of sexual misconduct against K. K., Moretz issued a statement deciding two weeks ago to stop promoting the film "after hearing of possible allegations against Louis C.K."

"I was as horrified as anyone who read the allegations in The New York Times," she told the Los Angeles Times. "I do not tolerate sexual misconduct and will not promote the film in the face of allegations."

The film revolves around a filmmaker (C.K.) whose adolescent daughter (Moretz) is interested in an older man, played by John Malkovich.

In a New York Times article released on Thursday, five women accused the actor and comedians of sexual misconduct, including masturbating in front of them. C. K.'s publicist told the Times that his client would not comment on the allegations.

Comedian Rebecca Corry claims that C.K. "I asked if we could go to my dressing room so he could masturbate in front of me," while he was shooting a TV pilot in 2005, and writer Abby Schachner claims she heard him masturbating through the phone during a 2003 call. A fifth anonymous woman claims to be C.K., while working on the Chris Rock Show in the late 1990s. Masturbated while sitting in his office with him, and a colleague confirmed her story in The Times.

Prior to the release of the Times story, the New York premiere of his movie "I Love You, Daddy" was canceled on Thursday. The actor's appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert - scheduled to take place on Friday - was also canceled.

"In light of the allegations regarding Louis CK In today's New York Times, we cite the premiere of I Love You, Daddy, there's never a place for the behavior described in these allegations, and as a result, we're damaging the timing and release of the film the magnifying glass and further examine the situation, "it says in the statement.
