I've met him. I've worked with him. I know him personally and I've hung out with him and his fiancée. They're charming folk, but their lives don't revolve around nasty rumors on the internet. Most of his fans are skittery, socially awkward teenage girls who have nothing better to do than pine ridiculously over things they can't have, and some of them resort to spreading lies and rumors, or at the very least blowing half-truths completely out of proportion. I know, because I've been there. But I'm not there anymore. I don't need that extra validation that comes with feeling victimized. I went from being his biggest fan to a complete hater to thinking he's just alright to being his coworker and friend. I grew up.
At the same time, there are plenty of far more high-profile celebrities—movie stars—who don't say a damn thing about the shit that flies around the internet about them, the hate people spread. Because they know it's not true. And the ones who believe it aren't worth knowing. It isn't worth validating it with a response.
I understand the bullshit that's said about him. I get it, I do. I know why it's said. I know the people who say it. I understand why someone would want him to push back. I get that, too. But I also understand—and I don't feel like many other people do—why he doesn't. Why it's not worth it.
What I don't understand is why it's such a big deal. Love him, hate him, ignore him, I don't give a shit. But at least respect him as a human being.
