Well, it's about bad sexual harassment/abuse things, so here's a cut--
Basically, Scarlett was accused by male students and corps members at three companies/company schools in Australia, the UK, and Denmark of sexual misconduct with students and dancers, in a number of different ways both on and off the job. Scarlett killed himself after the allegations became public and some of the companies distanced themselves from him. After his death, the investigations were basically dropped or fudged, such that the exact extent and nature of this behavior never became clear. It's been some years now, and companies are quietly bringing his choreography back out of the woodwork, I think basically hoping that people will either have forgotten, or will say, well, he's dead anyway. But it has been extremely disappointing to see companies and individuals alike try to memory-hole the whole affair.
Hence why reviving a Frankenstein take by him in particular has a certain special unsavoriness.</details
