This is something I see so often it boggles the mind. Wealthy, powerful people tend to have fans. Any time there's an accusation against them, there's a bastion of common people who come to their defense, despite being potentially affected by the accusations. If anything, the common man should be putting wealthy, powerful people under even bigger scanner and scrutinising their every move, because one bad move can have large implications for them.
