Kevin Spacey is a fantastic actor.
His video about what happened is very surreal. It’s on YouTube. I think it’s tied to his House of Cards character but has dual meaning?
Indeed a great actor, but as a ~~Trekker~~ human being, fuck him for how he treated Anthony Rapp (the engineer from Star Trek Discovery).
by RAPPS account, he was almost raped by spacey. and the other commenter was trying to defend him, hes not the one you should be going after.
Totally.
…and if you’re going to take down Kevin Spacey, he should be the 1000th male actor or rock star you go after.
Like…yeah…people should decide if all the accusations (and no convictions) are worth anything…I think they are. But…why are people like Johnny Depp, Mel Gibson, Alex Baldwin, Sean Penn, etc still working…maybe even working more after crazy shit they did?
Did Depp get accused of more than the Heard thing? He went through a trial and was cleared, I personally don't think he deserves to be dragged, but that's just me I know others disagree
He was cleared of wrongdoing in a particular court (not others), not of being a terrible person. Many of the things he admits to exceed anything Spacey was accused of.
…but I’m not even talking about that. I’m talking about Depps Robert Downey Jr. years (I forgot to mention Robert…one of the biggest sleazebag “comeback” stories): the years when he was a womanizing rock star junkie banging teenagers, hanging out with the Butthole Surfers, and was generally unemployable. We just pretend all that didn’t happen and treat him like he’s a victim of Amber Heard (who was like 25 v 48 when they got together…he practically raised her).
If you enter that time period, I think it includes Whalbergs beating the Vietnamese man until he went blind. Some things the court of public opinion seems to ignore.
Didn’t even know about that one. Gross.
Yea marky mark was gang related or just racist before the funky bunch
Butthole Surfers fucking rule.
Fighting rights they do…
Thanks for sharing - the more I know. Wasn't aware of much of it
depp got way screwed over by HEARD, to the point of being blacklisted by hollywood, him suing heard was justified.
Kevin spacey had legitimate SA/SH accusations against him, most of it dint stick because at least 1 accuser died before he could do it.
mel gibson got cancelled by his antisemitic thing, but he mostly in christian films anyways. I think alec baldwins problem was him being careless with firearms.
He didn’t. I get it…you fell for his bullshit on TV.
You should really brush on on people beyond the one news story you remember off the top of your head.
but hes been doubling down every since to deflect attention away, which pretty yucky. RAPP said hes over it? is he really, or he doesnt want to ruffle feathers in hollywood, which has more executives that are perverts.
Never got that. His eyes always seemed out of character.
Agreed.
He really is.
