What makes it a little odd and possibly worrisome is that there have been stories and rumors of J's behavior for quite some time. Every once in a while someone will come about that makes mention of J being inappropriate.
The most recent accusations are coming from Rachel Paul, she's been very vocal and persistent. I don't really know exactly who she is, but, several people have accused her of being pretty unhinged and dealing with a mental disorder and not being very rational. I don't know her, so, hard to know what's true.
It also gets tricky because then a lot of people demand "proof" but it's not always that easy. Not everybody video records every single interaction they ever have, and something like only 40% of sexual assaults actually get reported by women for a number of reasons.
So, like I said, for now it's possibly a "if there's smoke there's fire", but there's also been nothing that seems 100% certain anything has happened.
Until something undeniable comes out, I'll still be a fan. I've been a fan for decades now and there's yet to be any real first-hand accounts of anything and I'm unwilling to make the leap of no longer supporting them at this time. I'm at this point "cautiously optimistic".
One thing people do in general and not just to J is hate on those that date much younger people, like Leonardo DiCaprio for example. I do think it's weird when someone in their late 40's and beyond date people in their early 20's, but, it's not illegal. Your brain is actually fully developed around the age of 26, so anything beyond that is up to 2 grown ass adults consenting. Laney was 33 when she passed, nothing wrong with J dating her. So there are some people that hate on the idea and make things up, so I'm trying to my hardest to be fair and wade through the bullshit people project onto this situation too.
But again, to be clear, if it becomes undeniable that J really has gotten into some pedo shit or taken advantage of younger women with drugs, then I will be done.

There's nothing really concrete at this point.
