  The fact the film organization deleted him from the movie is what offends me. He was just accused, not convicted. Might they have been attentive of the validity of the accusation? We'll never know.
  
  It goes back to do you judge the Art or The Creator who made it?
  There's lots of actors in movies I love despite knowing the person was actually a distasteful boor.
