Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

It can sometimes be hard to separate the artist from their art. Are there any artists who were bad people but whose work you still enjoy?
Feel free to answer if you're in the opposite scenario: an artist who you love personally but don't enjoy their artwork.
Feel free to respond more than just music artists!

Idk if its authors count as artists, but I’m a fan of the US Constitution. A lot of its authors were slave holders though, so nearly the worst a person can be.
This is probably a controversial one. As someone who studied modern political history, the U.S. Constitution is - taken completely subjective for its time, authors, situation, etc. - an amazing piece of human achievement. It's a shame that so many people view it was some static command from the past, rather than the living document that it's authors intended it to be.
