Someone posted this about a pastor involved in a sex scandal, but I'd say it pretty much goes for Robbie here:
1. Man gets caught with pants down (or smoking crack, peeing in public, being drunk in public etc)
2. Man denies it or provides excuses and pretends like everything is fine
3. Man is forced by elders/leaders/media/angry mob of former minions to fess up
4. Man gives scripted apology admitting the bare minimum of what he did
5. Man acts “chastened†and “humbled,†invokes his shame and regret at bringing shame on his family
6. Man expresses how hard this is on him and his family, hoping to use the real and honest sympathy of listeners to get off easy
7. Man indicates that he is being forgiven by his family and that you should forgive him too because “we all fall shortâ€
8. Man goes into semi-hiding for a bit, strategically releasing things that not-too-subtly serve as “proof†that he is hard at work improving himself and restoring relations with his family
9. Man has his acolytes/minions/political and social circle defend his sullied reputation, calling anyone who mentions his indiscretion “bitter,†“spiteful,†having an “evil heart†and engaging in “casting stonesâ€
10. Man waits until anger at his behavior subsides, then finds an external source to tell his side of the story to, complete with a touching redemption narrative and supportive quotes from his relatives
11. Man finds or continues a lower level job within his field and publicizes how happy and “humbled†working at it is making him
12. Man resumes his old station or another one of similar stature, claiming greater wisdom from the whole experience and being “called to lead†once again
13. Man accuses anyone mentioning his “fall†of not exhibiting proper forgiveness of sinners like Jesus instructs us to do
14. Man is slightly more careful not to get caught doing whatever it was he did before
15. Man uses his “everyman†status as a “fellow sinner who has seen the grace of God†to sell more stuff, people buy it, and he gets older and richer
Well with exception of Jesus talk, I'd say this is pretty close to what has/will happen (barring criminal charges).
