Yes, he'll be considered courageous - and not the predatory pedophile he appears to be.


Maybe they should rename Spacey's show King of Queens.

Media Skewered For Focus On Kevin Spacey Coming Out Rather Than Harassment

Dominique Mosbergen
HuffPost
October 30, 2017

Quote
When the actor Kevin Spacey came out of the closet on Sunday while apologizing to actor Anthony Rapp for sexual harassment, many onlookers were aghast by the conflation.

Many accused Spacey, 58, of attempting to deflect attention from Rapp’s claim that he was 14 when Spacey picked him up, “placed him on his bed and climbed on top of him, making a sexual advance.” TV host Guy Branum called the diversionary tactic a “PR smokescreen.” ...

Now, several news outlets are being skewered for stumbling into Spacey’s trap.

As HuffPost contributor Yashar Ali noted on Twitter, the New York Daily News, ABC News and Reuters were among the news outlets that led their coverage of the scandal with the actor’s coming out rather than the harassment allegations...

Funny how they all knew in this case and the Weinstein case but kept silent allowing for more helpless victims.

The Hollywood elites could "come out" in opposition, to pedophilia

(which by the way is categorized as "not curable" mental illness by psychiatrists. The best outcome, of successful treatment, is total abstinence).

The question could also then beg, what about "homosexuality?" Is that mental illness, too?

Fox News is reporting that House of Cards is ending.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/10/30/house-cards-ending-amid-kevin-spacey-sexual-harassment-claim.html

For me, the old format in the US whereby series ran on indefinitely is losing out, to the more interesting European format.

IOW fewer episodes, over fewer seasons.  House of Cards has run its course, Stacey notwithstanding.

Stacey: "Hollywood's First Admitted Pedophile."

Now we learn why he has been so coy about his sexuality in the past.

'House of Cards' to end next year after sexual allegations against Spacey
http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/357874-house-of-cards-to-end-next-year-after-sexual-allegations

If anyone is familiar with the real BBC House of Cards, the good one, they should be familiar that the story has a definitive end. The fact that they are squeezing more than 3 seasons out of that Spacey show is ridiculous.

Well, I was wondering where Spacey learned that sort of behavior, and there it is:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5032809/Kevin-Spacey-s-father-Nazi-child-rapist-brother-says.html

@Frank Cannon

The original UK show consisted of 12 episodes over 3 seasons. Over there, seasons are called series'. The late Ian Richardson was great as the antagonist.

The US series consists, thus far, of 5 seasons and 65 episodes. US TV believes in milking a series to death. I've never seen an episode but I assume that Kevin Spacey has been superb. He usually is.

I hope that Kevin Spacey does not become the victim of a witch hunt.

Yeah.   The "outrage" is ridiculous.

None of these creeps give a rip about sexual predators....... OR their victims.
It's just damage control so the 'breeders' will keep watching their stuff...

The more dirty little secrets that are let out, the more the myth of 'just like everyone else' starts crumbling. Hollywood has gone to great lengths to fabricate that facade, especially over the last few decades, and it could all fall at once if the damage control isn't effective.

I doubt that had any impact.  I'm sure he was born that way.

Technically, I think Spacey is a "pederast" since his victim was a teenager.

Pedophilia involves pre-pubescent kids.

So 1) Mr Spacey is bisexual. 2) Mr. Spacey was a darling of the Clinton White House.  Hmmm. I wonder if he ever worked them both at the same time?

Sorry for the visual.

I'll bet there are a lot more.
