With all the hate towards J.K Rowling (deserved) and lets say Kanye West for example, you can enjoy the art but can you really separate what they create from what they say?

Either you can or you cannot. It's highly situational.

Michael Jackson's music didn't stop sounding good once I learned more about the person behind the songs, but I stopped eating Caesar salad dressing after I found out it contains anchovy. Maybe comparing a musician to salad dressing isn't the best analogy, but the point is: in one case, more information changed my subjective experience of something, and in the other it didn't. I didn't choose that - it just happened, for no reason I can point to.
