The ever-present problem with that way of looking at it is that there's actually nothing special or new or more obvious about these events than any previously that should have keyed you in that he's a petulant, stupid man-child.

If this actually woke you up, why didn't you wake up when he called a diver a pedo for no reason, and instead of apologizing he fought it in court saying that "nononono it's perfectly normal we said it all the time as kids" as if that should make it okay.
