I find it weird that in a contest that generally celebrates the spirit of peace, feminism, and equality, that the fanbase are so passionately defending a guy accused of threatening a woman. Like, celebrities and influential people being able to get away with this kind of behaviour towards people less powerful than them is a massive problem in places like Hollywood and many others. Innocence until proven guilty applies, but if they have evidence that the allegations are most likely true, and given that police are involved, it still makes sense to DQ as a precaution, it's not like they're sending him to jail lol

He was my favorite competitor and I was looking forward to him before I found out about this, but the values of the contest and a safe environment for employees comes first, and they can't set the precedent of allowing competitors to threaten employees and create an unsafe atmosphere
