In isolation? No. It's a social faux pas that should be responded to with apology and remediation. Nobody is perfect, after all.

As one incident in an overall pattern of abuse stretching one's career? Different matter. If this pattern holds, the accused doesn't need to be propped up as a role model for science communication.
