Do a performer's scandals, political opinions, or other, possibly shocking, aspects of their lives, affect your appreciation of their work? For example, Woody Allen, Mel Gibson, Roman Polanski, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jane Fonda, etc.

what Mel gave us in hacksaw ridge was oscar worthy full stop
its the best war film since Lebanon (2010)
there isn't one scene in la la land that deserved best director
only reason they gave chazelle best director was to spite Mel
mel could fuck me up so bad for 15mill and i would thank him afterwords... shit he could break my legs all my fingers..

With Woody Allen there is reasonable doubt, sure him and his movies are definitely creepy but it is not 100% certain if he abused children. Roman Polanski is also a perv and guilty of statutory rape, but in his 1984 memoir, he claimed that he had consensual sex with Samantha Geimer and that he did not drug her.
"reasonable doubt"
the judge said his behavior was grossly inappropriate
measures must be taken to protect dylan
I hate to admit it but I tend to be more forgiving of a performer's dark side if I like their work, not proud of it but I think we've all done it at some point, otherwise there wouldn't be much music, movies or tv shows that we would be able to enjoy.
