I find his statement really odd. I'm sorry but surely you don't just forget if you've sexually assaulted a child :umm2: I don't care how many years have passed. And let's say he didn't do it, he's still basically saying that it's something that he can imagine himself doing while drunk, he's not actually saying it didn't happen or wouldn't have happened, just that he can't remember and he's sorry if he did it. That's not a normal response. If you know it's something you wouldn't have done you'd outright deny it. The way it's worded especially at the end makes me wonder if he knows there are other stories that could come out about him and he's trying to limit the damage as much as possible rather than say something now that could expose him as a liar further down the line. The statement's PR - and I wouldn't be surprised if the coming out is intended as a distraction (even though it's no surprise, I always just assumed everyone knew and he knew everyone knew but he didn't like to discuss it publicly).

I never knew Kevin Spacey was gay but I agree Jamie it sounds like him coming out is like him trying to switch the focus which is awful and if I were a gay man I think id be uncomfortable with that, like it's understandable to sexual harrass a child because he was hiding being gay? Wut? Hmmm

It was always kinda known but not said (re: him being gay) but yeah this was a stupid time to come out.
I would say re: Jamie's point that I think it's fairly well-documented that he was also a regular coke user so I don't know if that clouded his judgment/awareness of his actions but that is merely conjecture so I wouldn't really stand on it too solidly... the allegation sounds horrible and, as a big fan of Spacey, it's super disappointing to hear. |
Funny we were talking about Kevin the other day.
My friend who works in the thearter scene was recalling a story of him trying to seceduce a famous male actor at a party some years back and when he was rejected he turned to some fat girl to toss him off and told her that he’ll just close his eyes and think of the actor. How degrading for the poor woman. He’s well known for his ****. |

Oh yeah definitely, it sounds like a face-saving confession. Like "I don't remember it happening but if it happened I'm sorry". Not really an apology.
|
Him being gay was pretty much an open secret a la Louis Walsh, but I remember about a year ago reading Reddit discussions about how he's a notorious predator on set so this doesn't surprise me much
Still disappointing though |
He should have come out as black and gay. If you want to cover up being a dirty perv then go big ffs
|
It's quite concerning how in his apology it totally brushes over the fact it was a child. I think he has probably taken this opportunity to come out because he knows that more stories about him are coming and he's trying to get ahead of it. But yeah... ****ed up. Very disappointing as he was just in the best film of the year (Baby Driver) and House of Cards is great, not to mention a few classics that he stars in.

It's kind of odd that on the one hand he doesn't remember anything happening, yet doesn't deny it or somehow try to defend his character against a pretty serious allegation.
He just offers an "apology" and then shifts focus to "yes, I'm gay" which is worrying for two reasons, 1) he thinks the "revelation" that he is gay to the wider public is the more important or serious piece of information and 2) He's not shocked by the accusation of something he doesn't even remember because it was something he was prone to doing quite often anyway, it's just this specific incident he's fuzzy on. Despicable piece of sh*t either way. |
Quite disgusting the way he tries to brush it off in that statement tbh

I always had my suspicions about Kevin Spacey. But trying to seduce underage boys crosses the line. 14 is a child :nono: What's going on in Hollywood? Are all the male actors sleaze bags? :omgno:
