Yesterday @JackSmithIV was accused of offenses explicitly described as existing in a "gray area," namely "emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting." Within hours he was publicly disowned by his union and fired. I'm sorry, but there is something wrong with this process.
People are commonly horrible in interpersonal relationships to the point of inflicting real harm. The question is, when is it justified to journalistically publicize these harms. The article’s focus on “emotional manipulation” suggests this justificatory standard was not met.

I don’t want to go into greater detail about the specific charges on here because I know some of the accusers have been reading this thread. I’ll just reiterate that the “gray area” framing is what has caused critics (both male and female) to raise questions.
