I searched it up a little bit. They said after everything happen. He was banned for around a year by the motion picture board. Eventually he would direct movies under his father name. Along with owning a restaurant

Oh wow that is insane. I am guessing that is career never recovered from. I had heard there was a thing about rise of Hollywood. From a article I read.

Oh wow that is interesting. I had not really looked that much into it. I say it did kill his reputation. But notice with Johnny Depp everybody rallied around him.

Here a quote from Louise Brooks about his directing
"He made no attempt to direct this picture. He just sat in his director's chair like a dead man. He had been very nice and sweetly dead ever since the scandal that ruined his career. But it was such an amazing thing for me to come in to make this broken-down picture, and to find my director was the great Roscoe Arbuckle. Oh, I thought he was magnificent in films. He was a wonderful dancer—a wonderful ballroom dancer, in his heyday. It was like floating in the arms of a huge doughnut—really delightful."
