Accidentally found out troubling info regarding my therapist

Hi, I'm in a bit of a state because I stumbled across troubling info regarding my therapist and I don't know what to think anymore. Basically, I found out that my therapist's husband lost his job because he sent inappropriate racist and sexist messages in a group chat. Some were also sexual in nature and there was even some article written about it at the time. This is deeply troubling to learn because therapists are supposed to be against all that sort of thing, and will have to deal with clients who have been at the receiving end of the types of things her husband did. Now I know that he is a separate person to her but it still does not sit right with me that she chooses to stay with someone like that and actively wants to remain married to an awful person like that. By staying with him surely that means she agrees with what he did and tolerates it. If it was me, I'd immediately disown and cut all ties with a man like that because you have to draw the line somewhere. It makes me feel as though any care from her has all been fake now so I'm really upset because I really really respected her and she had helped me a lot. I'm also very attached to her so I cannot imagine never having sessions with her again. I'm also so alone with this because I usually tell her all my issues and this is one massive issue I can never bring up with her. I've also had a very bad experience with my last therapist so thought that this one was the one but now I'm having serious doubts. Is there anyway I can stop being attached, like I'll try anything so I can just leave her and it not be painful? If anyone can offer any useful advice I would be really grateful. Thanks
