I agree with your first part, your second part is wrong.
The ladies that made the accusations against him, which he confirmed were all true, were up-and-coming comedians.
They said because he was in a position of power they felt like they couldn't say no to his request.
To his credit, he validated every woman that made an accusation. He also said he didn't realize the women were saying yes because of the implication if they said no. I tend to believe his story because after the women came forward, he admitted what happened, and the allegations stopped, no one else came forward. That seems to me like a guy that used bad judgement and didn't understand the power he had.
I think him taking a timeout, realizing that women have a whole different set of circumstances to deal with that guys don't, and reflecting on that was warranted. I don't think he needs to be shunned forever.
Everybody deserves a chance to course correct after repenting for mistakes. Denying redemption is downright psychotic. You don't have to forgive or even forget, but if you don't acknowledge the work someone does in reparation, you yourself are broken.
must suck for you, since the people youve hurt obviously won't forgive you
Don't come here, make excuses for abuse, and call people names if someone isn't willing to see it your way or whatever your point is
people in this thread calling others fucking psychotic really stink of misogyny
There is no gender association in my comment nor did I presuppose your gender identity. In fact, I believe that what I said should be considered universal, not specific to this scenario.
Good luck finding peace. You seem to have a lot anger.
Don't take this as an insult (because it's not meant as one), but accusing someone you don't know like that kinda discredits anything you're trying to say, whether you're right or not.
He already knew, it was part of his prescient comedian bit on dating.

The second part is not wrong. Other than those 2 (3?) that accused him, none of the other hundreds of female comedians and actresses who have worked with him over the previous decades have said anything negative about his behavior.
Your first statement says none. Your second statement says none except for the ones that did, that's not the same thing.
An accurate sentence would be:
Besides the five women that accused him, no other female comedian or actress he's worked with have said anything negative about him.
But, to say no female comedian has complained is just false, 4 of them weren't anonymous.
