"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.
