I don't read it that way.  Not even that he is making the accusation,  let 
alone that it is substantive.
"It's all behind me" could just as well mean "it is and was an important  
part of my life at one time, it no longer is."  But biographies are not  about 
what the subject themselves considers important.  They are about what  the 
general reading public would so consider.
