You have a lack of understanding of what the clause is meant for.
See the actual TV show is playing to an audience that is suspending reality.
The TV character may do drugs have sex and commit murder.
That is acceptable because it's all fake and the audience knows it.
Giving other people drugs in real life is not fake and could lead to his arrest and
jail and then he can't do the show anyway from his jail cell.
So firing someone headed that way is not hypocritical, it's good business.
Keep you personal life out of the studio and keep your studio character out
of your personal life.
If you don't think that makes sense, then hey, I'll see you down the same road
when you hit the lime light.
