Honestly, The MeToo movement is more of a double edged sword. Yes, it is absolutely fair for women to seek justice when they are wronged and yes there are powerful men who abuse thier positions to harass, abuse and manipulate them. It IS important they speak out and not be afraid to do so as that only gives thier abusers more power over them or worse, puts them in further danger that could even be life-threatening.

But, at the same time, the movement also can be corrupted/hijacked by malicious individuals such as deranged members of the far right or other sinister figures hiding in the shadows in an effort to "eliminate" those who do not share thier worldviews or wish to seek a profit by digging up an individual's character flaws as a human being and exploit them.

Like many, I hope it is the latter, but we should wait until the investigation is completed and the evidence is presented in full as proof. If it turns out he did do those things, it would be sad, but it is important to separate the art from the artist by reminding ourselves that the joy his characters gave to us cannot be taken away as they are part of our memories, despite the bitter feelings his actions may cause afterwards.
