I think Doug misunderstood that scene. The "past" that Simba ran away from wasn't Simba killing Mufasa, it was Simba letting Scar kill Mufasa. The lionesses didn't support Simba at first because they were scared and intimidated by Scar, but they were totally willing to forgive Simba for what happened. The moral of the story ("the past hurts, but you can either run away from it, or learn from it") still applies in my opinion.
