You don't even have to go that far. The writer and leading creative force of one of the two shows in question (Aaron Sorkin) was forced out after getting busted for weed and shrooms at the Burbank airport. Actors (probably the closest equivalent to mega-church pastors really) get this sort of treatment all the time, and have been subjected to trials in the court of public opinion for as long as they have been the subject of public adulation.
