I'm not sure it always is, I think it depends on the circumstances and how much that person was liked beforehand. I think if a celebrity is very much liked beforehand then it will take a male celebrity doing a lot more bad things before public opinion turns on them than it would for a female celebrity though.

...yeah, pretty much my thoughts...with Ant for instance...?...he had such a support from the media and public of being a ‘national treasure’ type beforehand, so that very much allowed him ‘recovery’ as well, it left more scope for it..?..whereas with many celebrities, they’re not held in very high regard from either the public or the media...reality TV celebrities are a good example of that...
