People are complex. We are capable of both bad things and still can do good things like calling out others. We aren't plainly bad or good ever.
I think he did something, I don't remember. It doesn't change my point, that he can be a bad person for doing something and still have a valid thing to say here.
For him, I wonder how many of his behaviors were driven because he was a child star. That's a lifestyle with a known track record of screwing kids up
You're aware that he was regularly sexually molested over a few months by a Nickelodeon actor/dialogue coach, Brian Peck, right? That was big news a year ago when the Quiet on Set documentary came out last year and revealed him as Peck's victim (his identity was kept private at the time due to his age and the nature of the crime). On top of the child actor stuff, unfortunately, this sort of conduct is very common for those who faced that kind of abuse as kids. It is extremely common for victims to become victimizers, or at least have inappropriate boundaries with kids and partners, and a tendency towards drug usage.
I was not, but sadly not surprised. It's a horrible industry by itself, let alone for kids. Which is why I mean what I said, even some of the worst people had horrible stuff inflicted on them. Violence begets violence. It doesn't excuse it, but I think we are too quick to judge in our society that someone is evil, and it's easy to condemn on the internet.
