You ATE with that title lol. I literally ran to the comments to type this before even reading the rest 👏🏾.
I agree with everything you said. It was really heartbreaking to see people outside cheering. This is why so many victims don’t come forward. One thing I hate about this industry is that people will defend whoever is more popular or holds more weight in the industry even if they are dead wrong just because they want to make it in Hollywood. It’s gross, inhumane, and disgusting especially when there’s clear evidence.
Absolutely agree—and I’ve said as much in my Substack. 🙏🏽
This isn’t just about one man or one verdict—it’s about the systems that shield harm when power is involved. The legal outcomes may shift, but the deeper reckoning we’re being invited into is moral, cultural, and spiritual.
We have to ask: What allowed this to persist so long?
And more importantly—what are we still willing to excuse when influence and legacy are at stake?
We can hold space for complexity without compromising accountability. That is the shift.
This is definitely a fractal issue, one that occurs across industries, fields, disciplines, etc. It’s a universal issue of morality and integrity. It’s been really quite interesting to see how, after more than a year of a televised genocide, we are seeing and hearing more publicized “outrage”, particularly from those in a position of influence. It begs the question of us as a collective, “do we only care when the threat of consequences come knocking at our door?” We all pay the cost when the privileged few lie and obfuscate.
Preach church. This case became a mirror but not just of celebrity culture but of everyday power dynamics in workplaces, families, and communities. We have to look at ourselves and reflect on what patterns we excuse and more. But as you said from the get go, this is a huge lesson in discernment!

You hit it right on the nail! Well said!
