The way that I interpreted it, it seemed like you were suggesting that after Christopher Reeve's accident and his untimely death, it was deemed "inappropriate" to discuss possibly negative connotations regarding his off-screen personality/behavior.

Never heard anyone say he was a douche before his accident or death. Seems more like people brave enough to slate a dead man.
That doesn't mean that people who knew him and worked with him can't have unflattering opinions. He was a young unknown at the beginning of production in 77. By the middle of shooting Superman II he'd become the star and linchpin of a major franchise. It would be even more remarkable if his attitude wasn't affected by that.

There are going to be some people who you get along with, and some people who you just don't gel/click with. You're not necessarily going to have a pleasant experience with every single person you meet. For instance, Sarah and Jack may have hated working with Christopher, but I know Margot Kidder (she has always said he was like her brother), Richard Donner, and Jane Seymour (his Somewhere In Time co-star) loved him.

Christopher Reeve was notorious for being a dick. My mum thought he was a prat when she would read about his escapades in the papers ordering extras around and making absurd demands of producers.
Anyone who gets an affliction suddenly becomes an angel overnight, because those that worked with them are not exactly going to bash a cripple are they? When someone gets cancer, parkinsons or injured in a car accident suddenly there's only good things being said about them, regardless of what they were like.
I still wish what happened to him had not happened, because just being an ass is not the same as being a racist or anything like that, but he was very sure of himself due to him being #1 and playing a THE superhero.

Christopher was a young young-minded guy. It [Superman] was the first thing he ever did of any consequence. He believed his own publicity a little bit too much. He was like a child. He was like a little kid. He wanted to be Superman and Clark Kent all the time. You know when he became a nice person is when he got hurt. When he got hurt he became a really different person altogether. He became a lot humbler and he cared about people a lot more, you know? Prior to that he wouldn't show up for certain things with kids and stuff. He was a bit of an ass. -

Jealousy.
Everyone loves Christopher Reeve's Superman. He's etched into almost every movie fan's hearts and minds as one of the great all time cinematic heroes. Ask anyone if they know who Sarah Douglas and Jack O'Halloran is and they'll say "who?". They were nobodies who were jealous of Reeve and his success. Simple.

This jealousy thing doesn't really make any sense, considering that this O'Halloran guy, for instance, not only also worked with Hackman and Brando in Superman, but also Robert Mitchum in Farewell, My Lovely and Jeff Bridges in King Kong - all bigger stars and better actors than Reeve ever was - and yet had nothing bad to say about them. And what's the big deal, anyway - Reeve wouldn't be exactly the first overnight success whose manner becomes negatively affected by the sudden fame.
