Is redemption possible for individuals like Ryan Adams and Andrew Cuomo who were the subject of #MeToo allegations? How should react when individuals are accused of sexual misconduct and other inappropriate behavior?
On a new "Right Now with Stephen Kent," Stephen sits down with Liz Wolfe of Reason magazine and Katie Herzog of the Blocked and Reported podcast for a conversation about the cancellation of Ryan Adams; the resignation of Andrew Cuomo; if and how one should apologize when facing a Cancel Culture or #MeToo mob; how the coverage around sexual harassment cases is continuing to evolve; and what we can and should do when encountering stories involving allegations about sexual harassment and other misconduct.
