multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior

Yeesh. Despite what people tell you, I'm not jumping on some "cancelled" bandwagon. Instead, I'm reacting to his obviously gross behavior. Even giving him the benefit of the doubt:

  • He admitted he had (again, multiple) inappropriate relationships with students. I would also argue these involved a power disparity...
  • multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior
  • He settled these cases, paying out millions to the accusers
  • Apparently, good guy Seth Rogan wants nothing to do with him

Obviously, we'll probably never know anything for sure, but the choices he made, the dishonestly he's shown, and the lack of contrition... I just don't think I'd enjoy anytime he's in.
