It’s about a powerful man in Hollywood potentially using the power imbalance between him and these up and coming models as the pretext for a relationship.
There’s also the fact that he’s getting into that territory where the models are so young, one starts to wonder if the only reason he doesn’t go younger is because of they are literally the youngest he’s allowed to legally publicly date.
Those are just the concerns people are raising with regards to potential legal issues. Given Hollywood’s predilection towards protecting pedophiles I don’t blame people for wanting to be careful here.
Beyond all that there’s the icky side of things and that just comes down to a man frequently seeking out women that are absurdly young. I’m of the opinion that she’s of legal age and able to make the that decision for herself without needing society to step in and protect her. But then again I don’t blame anyone for thinking he’s gross for going after teenagers when he’s 50+. I’ve read many opinions that a 19 year old is essentially a child with a developing brain and that it is predatory of him to take advantage of that.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and as long as these women aren’t being coerced and he’s keeping it legal, as icky as people may judge him to be, I don’t care what consenting adults do.

So he can only date women with as much "power" as him? Pretty limited dating pool. If we have all agreed that 18 is the age that men and women can give their consent to be in a relationship then there is nothing to discuss.
