Also an interesting comment from Reddit by a person called "InterestingBad2":

"I had a lot of love and respect for him (Mooji), having met him in 2012, and felt that he was the 'real thing' so to speak.
However I do think something has really changed in that group, and in him, in the past years. Having spoken now with some long-time devotees who have been heartbroken about this news and some who fervently don't want to believe it, I am sensing that there is no smoke without fire in this case.
And regardless of what sexual stuff went on, which I also feel in my heart is being accurately reported (if in slightly overly sensational language), there is just a vibe here that deeply concerns me as a long-time practitioner myself.
I was deeply upset by reading this and by seeing their deflecting and catty responses, but it's a reminder that everybody, no matter how clear in one sense, is fundamentally a human being. Personally I stopped hanging out with Mooji people when it started changing from being about the message to being more about the individual himself, and when I saw that there was a huge power hierarchy there. That's a recipe for broken hearts and broken people after a long enough time.
There is also a concern for me about the mental state of a lot of his devotees (as well as him personally), but I won't comment on that as I am not a professional."
