Is Diesel's life destroyed? No, but the amount of the damage is not the point, is it? It is now a millstone around his neck and there are certain people who will absolutely not work with the guy because those accusations are out there. Is he doing fine even so? Sure. But that doesn't mean that he should be stuck with that taint if these accusations are false.
Now I'm not saying they are for sure, but all too often these accusations are thrown out there and they are left as just that. And now we're in a situation where our friend above who posted the Vin Diesel link, just throws it out there like "oh well there's a problem with Vin Diesel", when we really don't know if there is or not. He's been judged, and he has no opportunity or even means to prove his innocence-- I mean you can't prove a negative anyway, and we're all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. But all too often these days in discussions like this somebody pops up and says "oh well so and so has a problem", and we all convict the guy in our minds, and it doesn't matter whether the accusation holds water at all.
