The list of men accused of sexual harassment and assault is growing daily, and they come from industries as diverse as movies and TV to the media, to sports and politics. It can be very upsetting to find out that someone whose work you admired is capable of those kinds of actions.
We talk with a social psychologist about how our opinion of a person influences how we perceive accusations, and we look at whether we can, or should, separate people's behavior from their art or work.
Is there a particular person who you admire who has committed sexual harassment or assault? How are you dealing with the news? Do you think you've processed news about perpetrators differently depending on how you felt about them before the news came out?
