I don't know. Knowing that a movie was bad on it's actors or vice versa WHILE it was happening does ruin my enjoyment, but knowing it only happens years later ? It does feel different.
I'm willing to rewatch old pitt movies while pointing out he becomes an asshole later, but I'm not interested in his new stuff because of this.
It's a weird dicotomy of the feeling.
It's similar to reading harry potter before rowling went monstruous publicly. You can sort of see the small signs, but at the same time it wasn't festering as it is now.
It's very interesting, and I do believe this is individual feeling basis. It depends of what you are consuming and who did it, and how that person became a monster.
It's fascinating for sure. Separating the art from the artist is old as times discussion wise.
