Separating the Art from the Artist
Without dropping any names, many celebrities come to mind when we think of accusations, scandals, controversies, creepy revelations (especially sexual abuses) or tragic incidents that have caused someone's downfall, destroying an image or "at least" soiling a significant portion of legacy.
But we don't all have the same reactions and it is a very difficult question when it comes to someone we used to admire. Will we still 'enjoy' his work? Is boycott the only ethical answer?
In other words, should we separate the Art from the Artist?
(this question applies to the situation where the artist is proven guilty, admits his faults and/or makes amends, since it's the "fans" we're asking, many are eager to give the benefit of the doubt until a definite answer is given)
