It's not that he isn't redeemable. But if I'm honest, I do feel like he didn't properly atone for it and he (or more like his publishers) used his coming out as a marketing way to get out of publicly answering for it. Which is a fair critique.I don't think he planned to come out at all. He was blackmailed, unless that whole thing was a setup.
It's terrible he stalked Cassie. Stalking, harassment, and intimidation are serious matters. However, some of you seem to want this to be a forever scarlet letter hanging over him. Which maybe it should be, I don't know. A better way to say it: some of you seem to think those incidents make him irredeemable.
I'm not sure what else he can do at this point about those incidents beyond what he's done (apologized multiple times, seems to have come to a resolution with Cassie). Do you want him to be jailed? What would be the fitting punishment, in your view?
The same thing as Kevin Spacey. Coming out in the middle of a scandal just doesn't sit right with me.
Obviously, it worked out for him but I do wish that he actually dealt with the Cassie incident first before coming out.
