The point where someone's reputation is tarnished for good. Similar to the event horizon of a black hole (once it's crossed, nothing can escape the hole's gravitational pull, not even light itself), it is no longer possible for someone past the abyss to restore their reputation.

I think O.J. Simpson crossed the reputation abyss when he was suspected of murdering his wife and her friend. Despite his acquittal, his reputation was irreparably damaged.
