I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the rumours are true and evidence does emerge, but on the other hand internet rumours are disgustingly unreliable and I would feel tremendous shame in making judgements based on them. I also don’t make judgements based on statistical probabilities of guilt or innocence (otherwise anyone ever accused of anything would be assumed to be guilty).

It also surprises me that some people can get upset at others who don’t blindly support internet mob mentality, and have such difficulty with the concept that evidence and due process is a foundational part of our society, and that someone who does feel that way actually gets accused of things like misogyny. But maybe it is consistent behaviour of someone who makes extreme judgements based on inadequate information.
