The kind of thing no one mentions because they don’t care enough to deal with fans who would stupidly defend a person for something no one cares too much about anyway, but still makes the person look like something other than a saint.
The kind of thing that eventually people who never looked or cared enough to look notice, and overblow it as if it were news to anyone, and then cause a shitstorm over. Meanwhile everyone who already knew and didn’t care but weren’t in favor of it get to sit off the side with a smirk watching it all implode, because while they don’t give enough of a damn to complain, who doesn’t love a good fireworks show?
