> I never met him and yet I knew. He is notorious for doing that.

Met him once and that wouldn’t surprise me at all. He made a huge number of mistakes over his career and those eventually came back to haunt him. I’m not judging whether it’s fair or not, just acknowledging such things happen when you are a public figure.

"Came back to haunt him" is probably a good summary.

It's also much easier to believe bad things about someone if one has a foundation of lesser issues to build upon, and undeniably a lot of people had negative stories to say (and I'm not even going about the infamous foot episode)

You do, otherwise you would not have mentioned it. You are just perpetuating a childish rumor mill in my opinion.
