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

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

      21. Beginning of wisdom is to realize talent & character are 2 different things. Secondly, performative mask is not private self.

      22. Now let's try to bring this analysis to a few other celebrities: Cosby, Allen, Polanski.

      23. There's credible testimony from multiple women (about 13, I believe) that Bill Cosby raped them.

      24. I'm merely repeating what others have said, but in Cosby case allegations not taken seriously because so odd with his public image

      25. RT @kerrie12345 Because Dr.Huxtable would never do such a thing.

      27. The mask is not the face. Yet we want to believe that Bill Cosby IS Dr. Huxtable.

          @HeerJeet The line "The mask is not the face" is an incredible piece of writing. Beautiful in its simplicity.

          29. With Woody Allen & Polanski you have not so much the mask of fame (although Allen has that) but the aura of the artist.

          @HeerJeet I grew up w/Cosby Show. Don't know what I would've done, had I known about rapes then. Since learning, I eschew him.
