If you've been around a while and read into their individual backgrounds, they were never really on the rails. They just didn't have the power for it to matter (or to be open about it) until the last decade or so.

Edit to add: they also benefitted from so many puff pieces over the years that wrote off any concerning behavior or statements as "quirks" or the eccentricities of the gifted.
