I don't doubt that Lindsey has been an abusive asshole towards his former girlfriends. That did cost him, his image has been tarnished for decades.
But that has never kept Stevie, Mick, John or Christine from making music with him, cashing their checks and enjoy their stardom. That also did not keep Stevie from decades of slow dancing, stage romance and sad eyes interviews about how much she loved him. Also, where were the fans protesting him during concerts, who boycotted the band? I certainly did not, while I have my problems with his character, he has won me over again and again by being one hell of an musician, a great entertainer and a powerstation onstage.
But now that the band is heaviliy criticized for firing him, this is suddenly a thing for the band and for the FM fans? GMAFB.
It does also not mean that he has been unable to change, to become a better man, mellow out and be a good husband and father.
