I think the lesson of all of these controversies, scandals, etc is to not put celebrities or other people on pedestals. Instead, we should recognize that everyone is a flawed human and that we should all focus on becoming the best versions of ourselves that we can be. We're all experiencing life together and growing and learning as we age. We should give people the space to make mistakes and ultimately correct them.

You'd think traditionalists would be all for a manly man who defended his woman; have to wonder would the reaction have been different if he had a white face #TheSlap https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/nov/29/will-smith-emancipation-movie-understands-if-people-avoid-his-films-after-chris-rock-oscars-slap

#theslap made me sad, although it's interesting to see how society reacts to violence in a very specific example, mild when compared to the ongoing wars but still visceral and specific.
