"You're not interesting because you went to a high school where kids got shot,"C.K. can be heard saying on the recording.
"Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? You didn't get shot,you pushed some fat kid in the way,and now I gotta listen to you talking?"
Parkland parent Fred Guttenberg replied to the C.K. material on Twitter.
"My daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting,"Guttenberg said."My son ran from the bullets. My wife and I deal with loss every day. Why don't you come to my house and try out your new pathetic jokes?"
Filmmaker and comedian Judd Apatow was among other high-profile celebrities who criticised C.K. over the set,calling his jokes"hacky,unfunny,shallow".
"Louis CK is all fear and bitterness now. He can't look inward,"Apatow wrote on Twitter.
