Talking about someone's glaring flaws isn't the same as expecting perfection. That's an intillectually lazy way to see it. Wanting people to only sing the praises of anyone is actually expecting your version of perfection.
Why is this particular flaw relevant to this discussion?
If it's relevant to the person being discussed it's fair game imo. Just like it's fair game to point out her better actions if it's in a post dunking on her. Famous people are gonna be scrutinized more than the guy working at the gas station that's just how it goes. I don't expect perfection but what alternative do you even want here? I'm not down with ignoring bad behavior then because we want their help now. That'll never sit right with me. If someone is in a position to be emulated by fans and they make the decision to spread dangerous ideology then fuck em. I'm gonna bring it up at every whisper of their name. It's the closest thing to actual consequences for their actions that most rich/famous people ever get anyway.
Why does it matter if it's relevant to the person, if it's not relevant to the subject or current event in question?
To answer your question, the alternative I want here is better working conditions for actors. I view her as working class, not rich. The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is about a billion dollars.
The guys her union is up against actually are rich, and they're even worse. The working class is being divided and conquered.
To each their own. I'm not willing to give any slack on people that are anti-vax even if I perceive them as being helpful to me at the time.
