I just typed a whole response and it just got deleted ugh. I'm going to just summarize what I'm saying:

I think this is terrible if it happened, but if it did then why hasn't anyone else had the same thing happen to them/talk out about it/post something anonymously? Not saying it didn't, just wondering how we got to this situation and what the actual facts are. I'll be waiting for facts from a third party to make my final judgement though (think I got it all)

Also here is a response from Linus via the Verge:

I was in a state of shock reading through these allegations, plain and simple. They aren’t consistent with my recollections. They aren’t consistent with our internal processes. They aren’t consistent with our company values. We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe and inclusive environment. In addition to our existing report systems (both anonymous and otherwise) we’ve proactively reached out internally today to encourage members of our team to report any workplace bullying or harassment they might be experiencing so we can take quick and decisive action. Our HR team will be conducting a more thorough assessment of the allegations, and when we are ready, we will release a more complete statement. For now I would ask that we allow our team the time they need be as thorough as possible.

Also forgot to add, the new CEO Terran Tong is also hiring an outside investigator to look into it. I would like for those results to be made public

Tong committed to make the results public. Let us hope he does exactly that.
