I’m not even going to pretend that “You’re breaking up with me!? You’ll never work in this town again!” is an okay thing to threaten, it’s not. Maybe the more specific bits about the sexual harassment cases weren’t on any of the sources I’ve seen, but what I’ve read is pretty vague.

Tried to get into her pants as in “kept coming up behind her and grinding”? Because that’s super-not cool and if that’s what happened, fudge ‘im, I hope his suspension is without pay. But tried to get into her pants like “asked her out, which is really just about sex, when you think about it”? That seems way closer to fine, to me.
Someone in the below-linked article said he sent her lewd texts. Okay, “I know you’re not interested but I want to remove our respective pants and…” lewd or “…so Bette Midler said ‘Those aren’t
buoys.’” lewd? One is messed up, the other far less so and both can be called ‘lewd texts’.
Prove he’s a scumbag and I’ll see him as a scumbag. I already think less of him for the blacklisting threats, so I’m apparently open to writing him off. But “he sent me a lewd thing” and “he wanted to have sex with me 14 years ago” isn’t enough to make me think of him as a “predator”.
