It is unbelievably mild, inoffensive stuff compared to many biographies.
The alternative to including some "distasteful" (to some) facts is either not writing a book at all, or producing something as sterilized, anodyne and - frankly - boring and full of self-promotion as Ricky Skagg's recent tome. I know which I prefer. Nothing wrong with a "warts and all" biog - but don't just rely on one source before forming a conclusion, consult everything available and make your own mind up.
