UGH, I heard about John Lassetter earlier. I was just in shock and on the verge of tears for hours. He was one of my idols in animation!
Now I don't feel like I can trust anybody in the entertainment business (specifically men).
Just because someone is talented or famous, doesn't make them immune to sexual impropriety.
During the Beatles touring days, John Lennon, who was married and had a baby at home, would sleep with anything that had a short skirt on. The press knew about it, but never said a word, because everyone thought the Beatles were the greatest thing ever. So there was this whitewash of epic proportions.
As time went on, especially after John's 1966 comments about Jesus, all bets were off. As time went on, they got slagged for drug use and, after he started hanging out with Yoko (when they were both still married), the press never let them off the hook.
