Levine died in ignominy on March 9th, 2021 - Disgraced as a result of a long history of sexual abuse, coercion, and blackmail - unrepentant to the last.

accusations only. but coming up with that kind of accusation so many years after is a mystery to me. people feel offended by nothing

Justice !

I am curious how many men have come forth with their allegations. Two, three, or quite a few? I think he is guilty as sin. But I'm a little disturbed over taking someone's career away BEFORE the allegations have been investigated. Isn't that the whole point of "Innocent until proven guilty"?

[@alcylon]

To destroy a man in this way. It sucks big time

[@dashriprock8596]

So you're okay with sexual misconduct. Nice.

[@chuckiedimes1466]

Such bs. Destroy a man's reputation for such fluff? Gimme a break!!

I hate opera music, this is confusing but great news to me. I hate that vocal genre.

[@canadianmike711]

I compare this to the sound of music

I have with a Disney musical but I cried and I thought it was girly.

[@CzarDodon]

Mike MacDonald 'girly?' is that a problem? Are you worried about your masculinity?

[@canadianmike711]

I am not a fan beauty and the beast either, I was in florida when I saw.

Says more about you than it does about opera.
