Self-help guru Tony Robbins is now in the cross-hairs of the #MeToo movement, accused of sexual misconduct by former fans and staffers, and of regularly berating victims of rape, violence and abuse as a form of “therapy.”

The allegations are contained in a lengthy story posted by BuzzFeed News Friday after the online news outlet conducted a yearlong investigation based on leaked recordings, internal documents, and dozens of interviews with fans and insiders.

Nevertheless, some of the men and women interviewed have mixed feelings about Robbins: They might be offended by some of his past behavior but remain grateful to him for “saving” or “changing” their lives, they told BuzzFeed.
