Co-authors on project

[LiteralLungs]

I have started a new project with a collaborator who has helped me make some great connections and moved this project forward. I forsee publishing this, and this collaborator would be a co-author. I recently googled their name and saw that they have some troubling alleged behaviors in their history. Is this something I should be watching out for down the line when I apply for residencies? I'm imagining a situation where a curious person who is reviewing my application googles the name of this co-author and develops a biased view of me based on what they see on the web. Even though it isn't about me specifically.

You're just one applicant in a pile of hundreds if not thousands. Even if the person/people reviewing your application cares enough to dig through what you listed on ERAS for publications, they only care about you and will only look into said publication to grill you on your own contributions and what you took away from your research.

TLDR; I wouldn't worry.
