These people really don't understand time or cause and effect. Vic was not fired from anywhere because he filed a lawsuit. All of the firings happened before the lawsuit. He brought the lawsuit because he was fired and he was never going to work in the industry again.
Edit:
And I can't figure out which is worse - the possibility that the dude is straight up disingenuous when he says that Vic should have just done PR and come back that way, or whether he actually believes that. There is no coming back from 'He spent the last 20 years sexually assaulting his coworkers and fans, including minors.' That's a permanent exit from everything.
If that guy thinks there's some sort of magic PR that makes it okay for rapists and sexual assaulters of children to be welcomed back into the same environment in which those horrific acts took place, then he needs to never be in charge of deciding whether someone is safe around minors, because his judgment is garbage.
The only way for Vic to rehab his image was to say 'all of those things that have been said about me are totally false,' and the only way to say that with enough force to be believable is through a lawsuit.
TL;DR - garbage people have garbage takes.
