Sadly, I'm not particularly surprised (though I feel really bad for his ex-wife that my suspicions were confirmed). While there's a lot of admirable stuff in his work, there were also a bunch of things that felt really male-gazey towards the female characters/actresses when I look at it collectively. And the way he talked always reminded me of an ex who talked loudly and at great length about feminist ideals, and surprise, surprise, ended up cheating on me and gaslighting me about it (though thankfully he did not marry me or lead me on for 15 freaking years).
