With all the hate towards J.K Rowling (deserved) and lets say Kanye West for example, you can enjoy the art but can you really separate what they create from what they say?

The best answer I can think of is it depends, and it’s always on a case-by-case person-by-person basis.
It’s like finding out that a famous painter whose art you really like did a murder suicide.
In some cases, that could actually add to the allure, even though it’s horrible.
But in the case of a musician that used their musical career to coax underage girls into performing sex acts for them, like the singers of the Lost Prophets, it’s a lot harder to separate the art from the artist.
Picasso was a real bastard, but his art is amazing
I used to think Dali was better, then I recently read how much of a bad person he was. Now I slowly look for alternatives.
