There's also the allegations of sexual misconduct (https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/sexual-misconduct/filmmake...)

It's unfortunate that on the day of his death all I can really think about is how troubled the man was, between dealing with alcoholism, cheating on his past wives / gfs, the sexual assault allegations, and resigning from his company because of just how negative his public image had become. He became something of a household name because of a misleading documentary that was arguably more about the dangers of alcoholism rather than fast food.

Strange processing the death of someone with such a mixed legacy.
