Many of us don't know all the details of what people have done. And many of us, myself included, want to trust people and believe the best about them, if we can. But when you learn the truth about someone, and the truth contradicts your previous uninformed view of them, it is disappointing. But it also teaches you to beware of taking people as they present themselves, or in the case of singers, actors, etc., of taking them to be what they are presented to be. Everyone has faults. Some have more faults than others, and some have bigger faults than others. What you see on TV, or read about is never the full picture.
