Whether or not these women were abused they will always be doubted, mistrusted, and hushed by some people. Whether Philip Bloom physically/verbally/mentally abused anyone or not, his reputation has been tarnished at best, possibly derailed. Maybe he deserves this maybe he doesn’t. Regardless of the validity of the allegations Eric Kessler had to terminate business relations with Bloom because of the impending blowback to him and his business. Regardless of what anyone (including myself) decides to say or post about this topic, someone will hate them and reply with some really nasty response. Life just isn’t fair, and when do you ever have 100% of the information needed to make a “fair” or “just” decision. Rarely. There are people who are falsely accused, just as there are true victims who are never heard or believed. You do the best you can with what you’ve got. It’s likely that along the way someone’s gonna like you, and someone else’s gonna hate you for the same ideas/video/blogpost. For all it’s purported power the internet sure has a lot of drawbacks too. Just some thoughts.
