I think he was whingeing about how Weinstein et al were being caught.
How it wasn't fair on wealthy people or something.

Hmph. If we reject everyone who ever said something a bit dodgy, we'd have no artists left

Oh god, yeah. Much better.
I often think a decent benchmark for public figures' guilt is that they never attempt to sue for libel.
It's super easy to destroy someone on a libel case in the UK, and it only needs to have been printed in the UK for it to apply.

Sorry, I was a bit glib there.
I'm very comfortable seperating the work from the man, god knows there wouldn't be much to like if I didn't.
