Steve Bogart passed along Eva Wiseman in The Observer: Named and shamed :For "entertainers", violence ought to be a bad career move. If only because their personalities are revealed as being the opposite of entertaining...
We need to start connecting celebrity abusers to their crimes. We need to state that when they beat up their girlfriends, these entertainers cease to be entertaining. Because if we allow ourselves to forget their bloody histories, or view their work through a kinder filter than their actions, we are going to have a problem reassuring teenage victims that experiencing violence at the hands of those they trust is not acceptable.
