Anthony Rapp says Kevin Spacey made sexual advance toward him when he was 14



See this is only gonna create MORE divison

cause it isn't THAT simple

and NOT the same

the man who accused Spacey

was a successfully WORKING actor how had EVERYTHING to lose and NOTHING to gain by lying.

He was had NO previous reputation.

And he had spoken PUBLCALLY about this before

and DID NOT seek nor ACCEPT a settlement of any kind.

So when people try to do this and act like well since he was a MAN his assault was treated different?

You are just gonna get unnecessary backlash and make it THAT much harder for the next victim to speak out

AND be BELIEVED.
 
that chick is an idiot. If Rapp had said that shit about Spacey a year ago it would have probably been denied by Spacey and it would get some press and most people would have ignored it or gave him(Spacey) the benefit of the doubt. ....but in the context of all the current shit happening post-weinstein, Spacey didn't deny it, half-copped to it, and others have came out and said shit about him too. In other words, Rapp/Spacey got unquestioned legitimacy only because Weinstein.



 


of course that is f*cking stupid

no woman OR man ASKS to be raped.

CLOTHES TIMES OF DAY NEIGHBORHOOD...

DOESN'T MATTER

a woman living in this society and a man living in this society is COMPLETELY different

that is the point I am making

we had a thread on here where you had dudes blaming Lupita for HER attack.

Just because she is a (black) woman.

She should have done this, she SHOULD have done that...

Never taking into account that a WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE & REACTIONS is NOT the same as a man's

But how we now gonna start to shame a man who reports an assault HE suffered as a kid

why do that?

How is THAT helping?

Because then we gonna get into a WHOLE lot of stuff we REALLY do NOT want to discuss.

Why when a male teacher sleeps with an underage student he is a predator?

But a female teacher...makes the boy LUCKY

I could go on.

ALL ASSAULT IS WRONG

point blank period

but unfortutely

waiting to report DOES make it difficult.

and FALSE ACCUSATIONS not having SERIOUS REPRESSIONS hurts too.

I feel like her point while I can kinda see it?

Is just an attempt to grandstand and not really getting to the issue.

There is a whole lot GOOD coming out of these montsers getting outed

but those who remained silent and complicit?

the systems that ALLOWED these monsters (male female gay straight etc) to THRIVE

THEY should be attacked.

Let's concentrate on THAT.
 
Oh, so now that all these white folk claiming it happened all of a sudden it’s a problem. At first heads was just blaming Cosby who wasn’t necessarily a pedo but was drugging bitches or coercing them. These other mf just came direct like gimme some ass mf or else. Even to child actors. All kinds of skeletons popping out this bitch now. It’s too late to stop it:eek2: yet and still the one asshole who should be under the jail is running the country. Think of the irony:smh:
 
is the bitch taking into account that spacey apologized damn near immediately?

Did not deny it did not fight it came clean

Nobody believed it initially and then he confirmed it within the hour
But let's not let facts get in the way of a good post

You know why you can't believe everything ppl say?
Cause sometimes people fucking lie.

Bryan Cranston says Kevin Spacey is finished in Hollywood.





“He’s a phenomenal actor, but he’s not a very good person,” the Breaking Bad star, 61, recently told BBC Newsbeat. “His career now I think is over.”

Cranston claims to have never personally seen Spacey or any other Hollywood figure abusing people, yet he said that kind of behavior is also not totally unheard of either in the industry.

“You know it has gone on,” said the actor.

“There’s a disorder among all those people who use their power, their place or their status in any industry to overpower someone and force someone to do something that they don’t want to do.

“It’s beyond disgusting. It’s almost animalistic.”

Spacey, 58, is currently facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct after Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp accused the Oscar-winner of making inappropriate sexual advances towards him when he was only 14 in an October BuzzFeed article.

In response to the report, Spacey tweeted a statement saying he didn’t remember Rapp’s alleged incident and apologized “for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior.” He also publicly came out as gay, which was met with criticism from prominent LGBTQ celebrities.

In recent days a number of others, including Irish barman Kris Nixon and Harry Dreyfuss — son of Oscar-winner Richard Dreyfuss — have also come forward with their own stories.

Spacey has not issued a response to any of the allegations beyond Rapp. Last week, a representative for the actor confirmed he was seeking treatment. “Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment,” said the representative in a statement. “No other information will be available at this time.”

Production on House of Cards has been indefinitely suspended since Oct. 31, and Netflix executives decided the streaming network won’t air new episodes if the actor remains involved in the series.





Along with producer Harvey Weinstein, action movie star Steven Segal and Entourageactor Jeremy Piven, the Usual Suspects star is one of many Hollywood figures being accused of abusing their position.

“It’s a form of bullying. It’s a form of control,” Cranston told the BBC. “It’s almost always [done to] young vulnerable men and women who are starting their career.

“That sort of experience goes unchecked until something like this happens.”

Despite the serious nature of the allegations against Spacey and the other Hollywood power players, however, Cranston — currently appearing in a West End production of Network at the at the National Theatre in London — can still see signs of hope and positive change amid the scandals.

“The pillars of what was are falling. Everything is being exposed,” he said. “Women and men should not have to tolerate misbehavior just because of their youth and inexperience. The silver lining is we’re not accepting behavior like that just because it’s the way it’s always been.”
 
kevin Spacey, Unsuccessful In His Attempt to Avoid Appearing In Court, to Plead Not Guilty

Looks like Kevin Spacey might want to up his pizza budget for the month, because there are about to be a lot more hungry paparazzi to feed. According to Variety, a Massachusetts judge rejected a motion from the actor’s attorneys to recuse Spacey from appearing in person to be charged with indecent assault and battery next week. According to the initial filing, Spacey argued that “my presence will amplify the negative publicity already generated in connection with this case,” in addition to his living out of state.

According to the same affidavit, obtained by the Boston Globe, Spacey reportedly plans to plead not guilty to allegedly assaulting a bus boy in a 2016 incident. Meanwhile, Massachusetts State Police confirmed last week they have video, taken by the actor’s accuser, that allegedly depicts the former House of Cards star repeatedly grabbing the 18-year-old’s genitals. The actor’s arraignment is set for January 7 at Nantucket District Court, which gives us a chilling number of days in which he could release another Frank Underwood video.

The man who has accused actor Kevin Spacey of sexually assaulting him in a Nantucket restaurant three years ago has dropped his civil lawsuit, according to Reuters. Mitchell Garabedian, the lawyer for the alleged victim, announced that the accuser was voluntarily dismissing the lawsuit on Wednesday, just a week after he’d first filed it. Spacey is still facing criminal charges as a result of the accusation that he allegedly groped the then 18-year-old victim in July of 2016, after buying him several drinks at the Club Car Restaurant in Nantucket. Spacey made a surprise appearance in court on Wednesday at a hearing where his lawyers petitioned the judge for access to the accuser’s cell phone. The criminal case is expected to go to trial this fall.
 
The cacs whole lie is unraveling. Spacey's lawyers have a motion filed to dismiss the criminal case based on the same reasons that stupid cac dismissed the civil suit. Deleting text messages and purposely losing the phone.
 
Kevin Spacey’s Sexual-Assault Case Dropped by Nantucket Prosecutors

Prosecutors in Nantucket dropped a sexual-assault case against Kevin Spaceyon Wednesday. Spacey was accused of groping a then-18-year-old man in July 2016. Per ABC News, the dropped charges come after Spacey’s accuser, his parents, and prosecutors met on Sunday, July 14; during a July 8 hearing, the accuser exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over questions about a cell phone central to the case. During the investigation, the accuser told investigators that he sent his girlfriend Snapchat videos of Spacey groping him, according to the criminal complaint, but the accuser’s mother potentially deleted “exculpatory data” from the phone. When he was being questioned by Spacey’s attorney in a hearing on July 8, the accuser invoked his Fifth Amendment right in response to questions about the cell phone’s data.

“The complaining witness was informed that if he chose to continue to invoke his Fifth Amendment right, the case would not be able to go forward,” Michael O’Keefe, Cape and Islands district attorney, said in a statement released on Wednesday. “After a further period of reflection privately with his lawyer, the complaining witness elected not to waive his right under the Fifth Amendment.” Earlier this month, Spacey’s accuser dropped a civil case against the actor. The accuser’s attorney, Mitchell Garabedian, issued a brief statement on Wednesday, saying, “My client and his family have shown an enormous amount of courage under difficult circumstances. I have no further comment at this time.”

After Star Trek actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of trying to seduce him when Rapp was just 14, the actor was the subject of dozens of allegations of sexual harassment and assault. On Christmas Eve 2018, Spacey filmed, edited, and posted a video titled “Let Me Be Frank,” where he vaguely addressed allegations against him in character as Frank Underwood from House of Cards.
 
Kevin Spacey Settles Sexual-Assault Case After Accuser’s Death

A sexual-assault lawsuit against Kevin Spacey has come to a settlement between the disgraced actor and the accuser’s son after the accuser died earlier this year. Both parties filed court documents to dismiss the case, with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Details of the settlement have not been made public. The accuser, a massage therapist who wished to remain anonymous, claimed that he was forced to grab Spacey’s genitals twice during a massage at a private residence in Malibu. Despite Spacey’s objections to the anonymity, a judge permitted the case. In September, however, the alleged victim died, and his son had to petition a probate court to become a special administrator. This case was the most legally significant for Spacey, who faces multiple accusations of improper conduct by multiple individuals. In July, a criminal case in Boston was dropped after the alleged sexual-assault victim, a then-teenage boy, stopped cooperating. (Spacey pleaded not guilty.) Another accuser, Norwegian writer Ari Behn, who claimed Spacey groped him at a Nobel Peace Prize concert, died by suicide on December 25. Just the day before, Spacey released his second-annual monologue as Frank Underwood from House of Cards, this time with the message “kill them with kindness.”
 
Kevin Spacey Just Claimed His Dad Was a Neo-Nazi

Kevin Spacey’s testimony at his sex-abuse civil trial in New York on October 17 had all the elements of a melodramatic production. Moments after taking the stand, he claimed his father had been a failed writer, a neo-Nazi, and a homophobe as the actor detailed an upbringing that could best be described as emotionally Dickensian. Several hours later, Spacey teared up when detailing the fallout from Anthony Rapp’s misconduct allegations against him and cried about his own botched coming out in the wake of the accusations. In 2017, Rapp accused Spacey of sexual misconduct for having made an unwanted, aggressive sexual advance toward him after a house party in 1986. At the time, Rapp was 14 years old and Spacey was 26. Rapp sued Spacey in 2020 over the alleged incident.

“I grew up in a very complicated family dynamic,” Spacey said at the beginning of his testimony. “My father was unemployed a great deal at the time, so therefore he was home a lot of the time.” The family moved frequently, and his father “fell into” disturbing ideas and associates. “My father was a white supremacist and a neo-Nazi,” Spacey said. “It meant that my siblings and I had to listen to my father lecturing us for hours and hours and hours about his beliefs and his ideas.” But, Spacey continued, that was when his own “hatred of bigotry and intolerance began.” He discussed this family dynamic as his lawyer tried to establish why Spacey hadn’t come out until 2017 after Rapp’s allegations came to light. Spacey’s lawyers have contended that Rapp blamed his flagging career on the fact that he was an out actor. The younger man, they have maintained, was annoyed that Spacey was not publicly open with his sexuality and, accordingly, did not experience the same career ramifications.

Spacey told jurors that the shame surrounding his household made him a private person overall — and not just about his sexual orientation. “My best friend in high school, who [is] Jewish, who is still a great friend to this day — I couldn’t bring him to my house,” Spacey said. “Everything about what was happening in that house was something I felt I had to keep to myself and keep private and never, ever talk about to anybody.” He said that he has “never talked about these things publicly” and that he grew up in a situation in which he “wasn’t comfortable talking about things. And part of those things was my father also used to yell at me about the idea that I might be gay because I was interested in theater, and he didn’t encourage me in that way. My father would scream at me, ‘Don’t be a —.’ he would use an F-word that is very derogatory to the gay community; I won’t say it in court. As I continued in my life, I think I just, I had a degree of shame because I wanted people to remember the characters that I played and not know too much about me.” Before relating these details of his childhood, Spacey said Rapp’s allegation of an aggressive, unwanted sexual overture was “not true.”
Spacey’s testimony turned exceedingly theatrical after the lunch break. His attorney, Chase Scolnick, asked him to explain a floor plan of his former studio apartment, where Rapp alleged the incident had taken place. The diagram, which was displayed on a piece of foam poster board, was placed on an easel-like stand in the middle of Judge Lewis Kaplan’s courtroom. Spacey left the witness box and stood in front of the graphic. Kaplan’s courtroom deputy handed Spacey a microphone, and Scolnick then asked Spacey to explain the layout: Could he draw where the bed was? The sofa? Spacey, who wore a pale-gray suit, white shirt, and pink tie, carried himself with an affable composure, performing these tasks directly in front of jurors and speaking into the mic. Not long after returning to the witness stand, he did an impersonation of Jack Lemmon; they had performed together in the spring 1986 Broadway production of Long Day’s Journey Into Night. But Spacey’s demeanor changed when he recalled learning about Rapp’s allegations. He claimed he and his representatives had worked tirelessly to figure out a response. They had told him he couldn’t just deny the allegations or he would be victim-shaming. At around this time, he started crying in the courtroom.
“They told me I couldn’t push back,” Spacey said, touching his face, sniffling, and dabbing at his eye with a tissue. He said he ultimately went along with his publicists’ strategy of saying he would have owed Rapp an apology if the incident had indeed happened. He also came out as a gay man in this apology statement. Spacey said he regrets apologizing for something he didn’t do — and for coming out at that exact moment. “I was accused by the gay community of trying to change the subject,” he said, choking up and sniffling again. “It was never my intention, and I never would have done anything to hurt the gay community.” An increasingly weepy Spacey added, “No matter how many people were helping me on this day and giving me advice, that’s mine. I have to own that. It was really wrong, and it was really bad, and I am deeply sorry.”
During Rapp’s testimony earlier this month, he described his fear when Spacey allegedly picked him up and climbed on top of him. “I was frozen. I was pinned underneath him,” Rapp said. “I didn’t really know what to do.” Rapp said he had “felt like a deer in headlights.” He claimed to suffer an ongoing emotional toll. The first time Rapp saw Spacey after the purported incident, when he went to see Working Girl not realizing Spacey was in it, was a shock, he said. “It was as if someone had poked me with a cattle prod,” Rapp remembered. He continued to see Spacey’s films out of a sense of “duty” as an actor. The last he saw was American Beauty. “He was playing a character where he was sexually involved with a teenager,” Rapp said. “It felt unpleasantly familiar.” Spacey’s team has repeatedly contended that Rapp was motivated by spite over the now-fallen star’s continued success.
 
14 year old at an adult party. Victim yes but not a innocent victim.

Well, we don't know the context of the party.
If I remember he was a Broadway actor as a kid and played in the same play as Spacey
So it actually wasn't a party party like that but more of a get "together" for actors

Stop defending a fag cac pedo. 14 is wayyyyy to young to start to blame and if there's
someone to blame you blame his parents that probably told him to go.
Lastly, he resisted the faggot from having sex with him so what are you blaming the victim for again?
He's not "innocent" of what exactly?
 

Kevin Spacey found not liable in Anthony Rapp's sexual abuse lawsuit

The decision comes after a three-week trial in New York.
By Jessica WangOctober 20, 2022 at 05:56 PM EDT





Kevin Spacey is not liable for battery against Anthony Rapp, a New York jury determined after a three-week sexual abuse trial.
The jury deliberated for nearly two hours on Thursday following closing arguments and determined that Rapp did not prove that Spacey "touched a sexual or intimate part" of him during a party at the House of Cards actor's New York apartment in 1986, when Rapp was 14 and Spacey was 26. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan formally dismissed the case.
"Mr. Spacey is grateful to live in a country where the citizens have a right to trial by impartial jurors who make their decision based on evidence and not rumor or social media," Spacey's attorney Jennifer Keller tells EW. "And he is deeply thankful to this particular jury. This was a highly educated group of six women and five men, all except one college graduates, and most with graduate degrees. Their verdict was swift and decisive. Justice was done today."

Richard Steigman, Rapp's attorney, told EW in a statement on Thursday, "Anthony told his truth in court. While we respect the jury's verdict, nothing changes that."
Rapp, now 50, previously testified that he felt like a "deer in the headlights" when Spacey, 63, lifted him "like a groom carrying a bride over the threshold" and took him to a bed, where he climbed on top of him. He called it "the most traumatic single event" of his life. In his own testimony, Spacey denied Rapp's allegations and claimed he never made a sexual pass at him.

The actor also got emotional while responding to Rapp's previous testimony in which he called Spacey a fraud for not living openly as a gay man throughout his career, citing complicated family dynamics with his "white supremacist and neo-Nazi" father. "To call someone a fraud is to say someone is living a lie," Spacey said. "I wasn't living a lie. I was just reluctant to talk about my personal life."

Rapp is one of several men who have accused Spacey of sexual misconduct in recent years. When Rapp first came forward with his allegations back in 2017, Spacey initially apologized on social media. "I honestly do not remember the encounter," he wrote. "But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years."
