Okay, so I’m not attacking you here. Or, I’m hoping it doesn’t come off like one.
What’s the point? That accusation (true or not) isn’t related to the post about the movie. At most it’s tangential. So, why just throw a link, with no commentary at all?

Because he Hollywood hype machine around this dude grosses me out. Hollywood wants us to pretend like this never happened. He has never apologized and the divorce has dragged out over eight years. There are plenty of other people they could hire. Casting him, and then even stating the movie was built around him, makes it about both Pitt and the movie.

Soooo, without any evidence that’s given in your link, without any statements pointing towards even an indictment by any of the agencies involved, we’re supposed to ignore the presumption of innocence and take the opinion you have?
Seriously, moral panics are boring. Like it or not, nobody is or even should be barred from working without at least being given a court date on a criminal charge.
Even then, it’s dubious to pretend that a movie full of other actors and crew are somehow also to be blamed for one person’s misdeeds.
Worse, it’s only because he’s famous that anyone cares. If some gaffer or PA or gopher had the same accusation, with the same lack of evidence, nobody would care at all. Don’t see any articles about camera operators, electrician, set carpenters, or anything else, and I can almost guarantee that in any cast and crew of a decently budgeted movie, there’s plenty of people that have done something unpleasant to other human beings.
It’s ridiculous at this point.
