Kevin Spacey accused of sexual misconduct
 

It was towards actor Anthony Rapp decades ago when he was a minor and his response?: I'm gay

And they canned his show

But was House of Cards already going to end with Season 6? I mean, come on... there wasn't much room left for story anyway. The house of cards is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to toppling.

He was just in Baby Driver this year with a young actor. Now I'm...concerned.

Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer's good working relationship may make a lot more sense now.

You can get lost down a very scary rabbit hole researching pedophilia in the entertainment industry... a lot of troubling rumors and allegations about practices that are far more widespread than one would think. I'm glad these things are coming to light

Same. Hopefully it leads to some changes. This has actually managed to stick for longer than I thought it would, thankfully, and may even lead to a thing or two. It seems like recent events are getting people to question Non Disclosure Agreements, which is a necessary conversation, and apparently a couple states are thinking about passing some laws that prohibit NDA's being used to cover up criminal behavior.

I tend to give Spacey a little bit of credit. He could have easily just said "Nope, never happened" categorically and it would just be his word against the other dude about something that may or may not have happened 30+ years ago. That would have cooled out one way or another. Instead, he admitted it could have happened, thus torpedoing his own career knowingly and willingly. Doesn't make him any less sleazy but what his response was isn't the worst possible one he could have made.

His response was the worst you could make, actually....he deflected from the accusations by coming out and saying he was a gay man.

I don't think so at all. The "Before I forget, let me take this moment to also announce my gayness to all!" addendum is pretty transparent, sure, and a little troubling that he thought he might be able to muddle the allegation under some kind of Cloak of Homosexuality... but it really just is an addendum. An "Oh, by the way, let me add..." I get that that's pretty insulting to the homosexual community, but it's neither here nor there on the actual response to the allegation.

My real point is that Spacey had many options of responses he could make, up to and including silence and he chose one that would irrevocably end his career. When he didn't have to.

as someone said on Twitter, it's cruel to his supposed new community to use his coming out to deflect the accusations. It's going to open up more of the tired old criticisms and conspiracies against the gay community, there are still crusty old assholes that thinks gay equals pedophile.

A special Emmy Founders award intended to be given to Kevin at the Emmy Awards on November 20th has been shelved

Production on House of Cards has halted altogether

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Man, I wanted to see more of President Claire. :tsad:

Hm... now, I don't know about this. I just hope that all of the cast and crew attached to that season gets paid the same as if it wasn't cut short. Pretty unfair to the fans, too.

I take everything from sites like this with a grain of salt, but with all the recent goings-on, it makes you think:

After He Flew With Bill Clinton on ‘Lolita Express’ Kevin Spacey Started Group to Groom Child Stars

and Corey Feldman and others have been saying for years that Hollywood and show biz in general are full of predators

To be fair, though, Corey Feldman says a lot of things.

Hoffmann accused too , now......let me guess : there will be skits of a groping Rain Man :lol::roll:

Oh my goodness! :o

Even though I know that the vast majority of society is predominantly corrupted in some form, it's still dishearteningly tragic, especially when I read/hear that concerns (or relates to) child abuse. I just can't imagine the pain and heartache that the victims/survivors went through. They will have to deal with their trauma for the rest of their lives. :(

My thoughts and condolences go out to the victims. They didn't (and don't) deserve to go through their traumatic experiences. I wish for their well-being, safety, and, if possible, recovery.

Looks like he's accused of sexual harassment while on the set of House Of Cards.

Well damn. Spacey's going down in flames.

Yuck.

Oh man. He's really done now. This is fresh enough there could even be charges brought.

I really like Kevin Spacey. Now I'm not so sure. :thumbsdo:

If the accusations can be proven in a court of law, I hope he gets what he deserves.

I never really liked his Gene Hackman impression in Superman Returns anyway.

Well, it's official.

He's been fired from Netflix.

Good. That's what should happen. It says a lot about how often people get away with things like that that I figured they'd finish the last season of House of Cards before they cut ties.

Speaking of that, House of Cards is f***ed. There is no way it can end well, now. That show is mainly about Spaceys character. I'm sure they'll finagle something to bring it to some kind of conclusion but there's no way it's going to be satisfying or feel natural.

I agree.

I hope that the victims find some solace and safety from this whole situation. They really need it.

Here's how the original UK series ended.

Damn. Kevin Spacey turned out to be disgusting, didn't he? :flaming:

I hope Netflix is able to salvage House of Cards. I love Claire Underwood and Doug Stamper.

Just kill off Frank and move on.

Now the movie American Beauty from 1999 where Kevin Spacey wants to have sex with an underage girl, and is accused of having gay sex with a teenage boy he buys crack from makes so much sense.

And this movie is from 1999, literally 18 years ago. Just think of how long this has been going on.

Yes, you can't forget American Beauty, the movie based on the life of Kevin Spacey that was written, directed and produced by Spacey.

No lie, American Beauty is my favourite film.

I mean, they could try something, but given the whole show is about Spaceys character and the inevitable fall from grace, there's nowhere to move on to. That's sort of what I mean about the show being f***ed. They don't have a lot of options.

Yup.

RIP Netflix's House of Cards

Yes, you could say that I'm triggered. :(

There's no way that's referring to you. After all, your name's not Pappenbrook.

More trouble for Kevin Spacey, He's been completely cut from a film directed by Ridley Scott, the film was completely, so the director will reshoot all the Kevin Spacey scenes with another actor, Christopher Plummer will be taking over the Kevin Spacey role.
