The likelihood is that you read books, watch movies and tv, and listen to music. At the very least you do one of those things. The people who provide us with those things are famous and rich from their creations. To a greater or lesser degree depending on how successful what they create becomes.

And that’s all fine.

But here is my question – what should we do when one of these celebrities does something wrong? Wrong is a broad term. It covers actions that are illegal but also other kinds of wrongs.

Chris Brown beat Rihanna. He still has a music career.

The US has been trying to extradite filmmaker Roman Polanski in relation to a sexual abuse case from the late 1970s. Polanski has continued to make movies and audiences have continued to see them.

Woody Allen has been accused of sexual assault by his daughter, Dylan. He still makes a movie a year and actors continue to clamor to work with him.

There are many, many more examples.

As consumers of content what is our responsibility? Should we actively avoid the books, movies, music created by wrong doers? What about when it is an allegation? If we should avoid the content, how long should we do so for?

I don’t have the answer. Do you?
