Kevin Spacey apologises over Anthony Rapp 'sexual advance' claim - BBC News

So Spacey gets accused of sexual assault of an underage boy and uses the incident to announce that he's gay?

WTF???

Why in the world would anyone care if he's gay or not after possibly being so drunk he tried to have sexual contact with a minor?

Talk about tone deaf.

Was this normal behavior for Spacey back then? Get drunk and sexually assault minors?
Spacey made this announcement because he knows the news media will applaud him coming out of the closet while ignoring his child sexual abuse.

Spacey is not an idiot.

I'm sure his money and his buddies will keep him from getting on the government's sex offender database.

I suspect one would not easily forget sexually assaulting a minor.

"The Family Guy" had a bit where a naked Stewie runs through an airport screaming that he just escaped from Kevin Spacey's basement. That was from over 10 years ago. I guess the Hollywood people all know all this stuff and just joke about it.
All this is leading up to the revelation that Pizzagate is real. Get people talking about it and expose high profile well liked celebrities and when the real bombshell drops it won't make such a story.

The one thing that keeps going through my mind, after hearing of this incident and others over the past several weeks involving young actors of both sexes, is WHERE WERE THE PARENTS OR GUARDIANS?? How does it happen that a 14 year old boy or a 17 year old girl - anyone underage - is left alone at any point with an unknown adult, especially an adult who can affect the child's career. This is Parenting 101. Where were the adults responsible for the care and well being of these children, especially in an industry where predators are a known danger? Add in a party with drugs and alcohol and terrible things are bound to happen.

There is not much that can be done to protect the young actors over 18 if they choose to go it alone, but anyone under 18 should always be accompanied by an adult with their best interests at heart.

Maybe Manafort should come out as a transsexual to deflect his charges.

This surprised me about Spacey. You never know about people, these days. I didn't even know he was gay/bi (and yes, I know one has nothing to do with the other). Anyways, I wonder if he assaulted others?

I'm going to take the same stance here that I always take with such accusations that are that stale -- prove it or drop it.

If Spacey did that, shame on him. Reprehensible.

But legally, in general, how does one prove such a claim or defend against such a claim after 31 years.

And why wait 31 years? Why wait after 27 years after becoming an adult. I just don't like Spacey's possible behavior, or, for that matter, the victim's possible behavior.

Even with the Bill Cosby situation, I was only "won over" when there were too many similar accusations to ignore.

I see that "House Of Cards" has been cancelled. Despite liking Spacey as an actor, I just couldn't get into the series. I can understand Netflix's decision.

Spacey is probably done as an actor. Assuming he's guilty, I guess that will have to be his punishment.

Anything bizarre out of Hollywood doesn’t shock me.
