The Kati Schwartz Bad People play reveals shocking details

The disturbing details of the play are mentioned in the Reddit post. Many fans on Reddit commented on the post with one user writing, “It's pretty easy to be a nice, likeable person in public or on camera, but do really scummy things to a significant other. You hear plenty of stories about abusive relationships that go on for years with no one realizing it because the abuser is such a nice person to other people.:”

Another user named FatherofTheEVs stated, “I think the Dan controversy is less of an issue regarding age and more of an issue regarding the treatment of women and an abuse of power”. The user further stated, “In my personal opinion, if Dan was intentionally and actively going out of his way to groom minors, then he and this fan would have f***ed when she was 18, and not 22. The situation may change if more evidence comes to light, but with the information provided it seems like there is no proof of illegal or even morally wrong activity regarding minors”.
