Allegations from actress Amber Dixon Brenner that Akil abused her changed the saccharine nature of the show, says Hannah Giorgis. "Following the news of Brenner’s allegations, it’s hard not to feel queasy when considering the show’s central dogma—and one plot point in particular," she says. "The actor’s claims about Akil are particularly disturbing given the prominence that sexual violence plays in the series."
