Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

What did Marilyn Manson do?

Not OP but, Alleged sexual assault, think the cases are still ongoing or he paid them to nda, didn’t follow it much. Man was always creepy so when the allegations came out I kinda thought “no surprise there” and didn’t pay much more attention

Really? It's been widely covered for years now. He's an absolute piece of shit.

He had some ribs removed so that he could suck his own dick.

That's an urban legend that started about Ron Jeremy.

...Ron Jeremy.

Who himself went from a porn star to meme to being accused of raping dozens of women over 20 years.
