Person: Your book went to some revealing places. Were you worried at all that it would hurt BoJack or his career?
BoJack: That's a great question. I'd also like to know the answer to that, Diane.
Diane: Well, I think the truth is worth pursuing, no matter what. BoJack's not perfect. There are other celebrities who have done much worse things and it hasn't hurt their careers.
Person: Like who?
Diane: I don't know, like Mike Tyson or Sean Penn, or Josh Brolin, or Christian Slater, Woody Allen, Hank Hippopopalous, Bill Murray-

Diane: Well, all of his former assistants have made the same allegations.

It was an unspoken code of honor between, well, everyone that when it came to conflict between two opposing parties that the Pokémon were the ones meant to resolve them if things ever escalated to violence.
