I know there's people on here that are saying "We don't know the whole story" or "Is it really as bad as Weinstien / Lauer" but if you read the articles that have been published about this - sure it doesn't seem we had sex with women but beyond that it was a case of:
1) He behaved towards women with sexual overtones - women that worked for him - touching and making comments.
2) The company - under his supervision - held women back from positions of power. The most public example was firing the director of Brave, but there are other cases cited.
3) His behavior was covered up and excused by others within the organization for many, many years.
So - take away the actual SEX - and it looks EXACTLY like Weinstien and Lauer.
Now if Disney investigates and it turns out the allegations are FALSE then I could see bringing him back - but if it's TRUE...well sorry I'm with @amberpi here - there's forgiveness from a personal standpoint, but he should not be allowed back into a leadership role with a publicly held company. And I am not in anyway going to feel bad about it. The man will leave the company with tens if not hundreds of miilions of dollars. But he should just be gone.
This will be the last I say about this...it really is a subject for it's own thread.
