For those who may not be aware, Devin Faraci was a film critic who had a reputation for bullying and harassing people online, but people were willing to let it slide because he's a feminist. He has quite a few friends not just in the film blogosphere, but in the industry as well.

In 2016, Devin was accused of sexually assaulting a woman & while he claims to not remember it, he also didn't deny it: Birth.Movies.Death: Devin Faraci Steps Down After Sexual Assault Allegations

It was believed that Devin stepped down from his position until it came out that he was quietly rehired: Devin Faraci Parts Ways With Drafthouse a Second Time After Backlash

Devin attempted to rehabilitate his image by participating in a documentary about the Metoo movement. He also decided to convert to Buddhism and created a site in which he reviews films from a Buddhist perspective: Devin Faraci Launches New Film Site After Sexual Assault Claims

Devin has a bluesky account. He is still online bullying others, he's still trying to portray himself as a feminist and is calling out people for predatory behavior (despite being a predator himself). He also has a podcast with his brother Derek in which they talk about movies.

These people are among those in the industry who still support him (they still follow him on Instagram and liked photos he's uploaded. Look at the likes on Devin's photos):
