This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
It's not the only case. Weinstein story was the same. Polanski story is still the same. Probably many others I don't recall right now. And I think there are likely dozens of other people with similar proclivities who didn't get publicly caught and are still treated the same way - "yeah, there are rumors about him, but that's not the reason to be impolite and make a scene! Yet less the case to refuse tangible benefits of associating with him."
That's why cancel culture is especially heinous btw - they don't even strive for purity (that would be terrible, but at least they'd be honest terrible fanatics!), they strive for performative purity expressed in peer-approved ways towards peer-approved targets, and only for that. There are no rules, there is only context.
