I think the "unsettling truth" was that he turned out to be a flawed human being rather than the person that people who didn't even know him built him up to be in their imaginations.

It's even more banal than that. The "unsettling truth" is he's got an ex who is willing to spread some unsubstantiated dirt about him that may not be true, or may be exaggerated. (Was there ever a police report? A restraining order? Probably not, or it would be mentioned.) That's it. It's a non-story.
