I ended up hearing about it and reading about it when around the time of the second special Billie Piper and Christopher Eccleston did a fan convention and he was asked what it would take for him to come back to Doctor Who and he said it would take firing Russel T Davies and all of the producers that worked on season 1 and have now come back.
It was a scathing interview and in the comments and on Reddit people linked to older information about John Barrowmen's behavior on set and how those in charge laughed it off.
I felt season 2 ended my interest in Torchowood mostly because Tosh and Owen were my favorites and without them I wasn't interested.
I think it depends on whether or not I can separate the two. When the news about Bill Cosby came out I couldn't watch his shows or read his comedy book that had always made me laugh because his character was part of his persona.
With John Barrowman I don't think I have that problem as much because he's more Jack to me than he is the actor. Not really paying attention to the actors most of the time comes in handy!
A cute part of the interview was when Chris advocated that Billie should play a version of the Doctor in the future! That could be fun especially if they show the doctor noticing that he now looks like an older Rose!
