The Chateau Marmont's Japanese restaurant disappoints in more ways than one

What a brutal write up. I’m totally down with reviewers being brutally honest about the quality of the food, even if it can mean the death sentence to a restaurant. What I don’t like is our culture of guilty until proven innocent. The writer spends a good part of their review talking about the sexual accusations against the chef and wondering why he still has a job when the chef hasn’t been convicted of any crime as far as I know. Should someone’s career be ended just because someone decides to accuse a coworker of misconduct? I’m in no way defending or condoning sexual misconduct, but just seems far too common these days where we just assume guilty until anything is proven one way or other.
