That's how I see it. If it weren't at all relevant to the story and Sagal had been scamming people for, say, rent money, then it would be a pretty dick move and should perhaps be a fireable offense to just casually drop that information. But given the nature of the story, I don't think it's good journalism to leave that kind of information out (even though Sagal hardly needed "outing" in the first place).
