In the meantime, he is on leave and there will be an (I hope real) investigation.

This shouldn't be political or a left/right issue. This guy was/is a real scumbag, and the real issue is that surely everyone in Hollywood knew it and did nothing about it. For all of Hollywood's preaching, they probably have the worst record of any industry of abusing young females (usually) sexually who are trying to get their foot in that industry door. Judd, what's her excuse for not protecting all the women who came after her from his sexually predatory ways? What's the excuse for all the unnamed people who knew and allowed him to continue his ways, who worked for him and help him create a name and lucrative business?
Remember this Hollywood crowd is the same who protected that director (name escapes me) who committed statutory rape and then went on the run.
