A lot of stuff came out a few years ago, tons of specific instances, but it mostly boiled down to him just being a jerk. Saying mean things, saying them meanly. Stuff that would have gotten most people fired.

I'm understating it, but it wasn't overtly misogynistic or racist. No sexual misconduct, unless cheating on his wife with consenting adults counts.

Just... being a dick.

What about how Michelle Trachtenberg said he wasn't allowed to be alone with her?

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was because he was too much of an asshole, not because he was sexually inappropriate.

Why are you acting like it was more than what the people who actually leveled the accusations said it was?

The last I heard, it sounded like there might have been more to it. Perhaps there wasn't, I haven't followed it since so I asked a question. Sorry I asked.
