Oh wow, haven’t read about any of that. I’m not that great in celeb details, but this one is a big one.
Comment on Simpler times?

Didnt he go on to groom young girls though? I remember he plead guilty to it like 5ish years ago. Not saying his experience was nullified by this but i think the greater context is important too.

Yes and no. A lot of the allegations were found to be false.

Abusers often are “paying forward” abuse they suffered.

Nice demonizing of survivors based on some shit you read once and gave no further thought to

“Hurt people hurt people” is a common saying for a reason; dealing with trauma is difficult and not dealing with it often leads to problems.
That’s not to say that victims always become victimizers, it’s to say that the cycle of violence often begins with violence.

I didn’t suggest that people who are abused tend to go down this path, I’m saying of those that abuse others, they themselves were likely abused.
I don’t know the percentage, but hypothetically if 2% of people abused go on to abuse others, this would be true without even saying anything about 98% of abused people.

This is statistics my guy. It doesn’t mean they are read people. It means they need help.
