I am old enough to remember how this worked after the revelation that Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan had had an affair on the set of Proof of Life. Crowe's career continued to rise. Ryan's? Not so much. (Also look up: Wilde, Olivia)

Oh god, I forgot the Olivia Wilde stuff. Apparently a director* having consensual sex with one of the leads during a messy divorce is the biggest scandal anyone has ever heard of.
*only applies if the director is a woman. A male director may assault, harass, or torture cast and be excused.
Somehow she was framed as the "villain" when in such a divorce, there usually aren't any. It was Sudekis' lawyer who served her papers at Comic Con (low blow). Then her film got thoroughly crushed by critics. And then came the piling on. It was actually a decent film. I felt bad for her.
