A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That whole article basically sums to they settled out of court, which proves nothing.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Also a lot of famous people are "alleged r*pists", unfortunately that seems to come with the fame, especially in the last 10 years.
Settling doesn't prove innocence nor guilt - but as #MeToo has shown - SA is so prevalent that's it's usually better to err on the side of caution and assume the worst instead of claiming "fame" as a reason people try to seek justice from their abusers.
#MeToo has also shown that there are people out there will claim SA as a form of revenge or in attempt to get money of the situation.
As things are, the man is always assumed guilty even when proven innocent.
I try not to take accusations at face value for this reason. You have to put your self in their shoes; If someone accuses you of SA 30 years ago, what do you do? How do you convince people it never happened or in the case of two consenting adults hooking up, how do convince people it was consensual?
By the time you prove your innocence, you've lost your job, friends, family, possibly divorced, children all have 100 mile restraining orders and have been told terrible things about you....your life is fucked because some saw the #MeToo movement and figured out there are 0 consequences for fucking up someone's life.
That being said, if the accused is proven guilty, then feel free to chop of their head (not the one attached to the neck).
