In what way? His career is toast. Unlike many of the other people being talked about, Gomeshi then went through due process. When it was found that two high profile accusers from the first case had colluded, the credibility of their testimony was shattered, and Gomeshi walked away from those charges. The second trial, Gomeshi's accuser settled out of court with a peace bond and an apology.
Courts don't make decisions on the basis of everyone at the Golden Globes wearing black and madly hash-tagging their Twitter posts.
