How do we separate the art from the artist, especially when that artist has a dark past?

In this episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the strange contradictions in how we consume music, art, and entertainment while often turning a blind eye to the problematic behaviors of the creators behind it. Why can we denounce a movement one minute, then bop along to lyrics celebrating the same issue the next? Can we really say we're unaffected by these influences, or are we just tuning them out?

From the unsettling cases of R. Kelly and Michael Jackson to the controversial legacies of figures like Woody Allen, they explore whether it’s ever okay to separate the art from its creator. Should we be having bigger conversations about the impact this kind of art has on society, or just let it play out on the radio?

And the biggest question: How did we let it thrive for so long?
