      9. I had a peak at the wires behind the curtain, learned how hard his staff worked to prep him for interview.

      10. And yet despite knowing about staff work, when Ghomeshi interviewed me I felt like it was intimate & real conversation.

      11. In my interviews Ghomeshi was everything one could want: engaged, responsive, ingratiating, funny, smart, respectful.

      12. The ingratiating and kind Ghomeshi I got to "know" by interview exact polor opposite of the creep we read about from victims.

      13. The stark polarity of Ghomeshi -- the large-souled performer versus the predatory private man is striking. Jekyll & Hyde as @lrozen says

      14. Point to bring out dichotomy or public & private is not to psychoanalyze Ghomeshi, an impossible task from afar.

      15. Rather the point is that the public self we saw was creation of high artifice: "if you can fake sincerity, you've got it made"

      16. Public/private dichotomy also points out why so many listeners have reacted to news as a personal betrayal. We thought we knew him.

      17. Now that news of the private self has leaked out, people who used to like JG go to opposite extreme: he was never any good & a fake

      18. New rejection of JG's talent is just flip-side of celebrity worship that assumed he was great guy because a great interviewer.

      19. MT @PaprikaPink It's not "he's a creep but he's talented," it's "he's a creep AND he's talented."

          INTERMISSION: getting SO many great comments on this. I won't RT them all, that would be too disruptive. Might at end of essay.

          @HeerJeet @PaprikaPink Yes. The thing that frightens people is the complexity. Abusive people are not 2-dimensional monsters. Scary, right?
