All these moves Kevin Spacey is doing is change search or AI results about him.

This statement and him acting in a movie about a man wrongly suspected of child abuse (The Guardian) seem like suggested actions by a PR firm.

In 2017, Spacey faced several allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment. On October 29, 2017, actor Anthony Rapp was the first to accuse Spacey of sexual misconduct.In the following weeks, other accusers came forward, including actor Roberto Cavazos, filmmaker Tony Montana, Richard Dreyfuss's son Harry, and at least eight people who worked on House of Cards.

In the wake of these claims, Netflix cut ties with Spacey, shelving his biopic of Gore Vidal and removing him from the last season of House of Cards. His completed role as J. Paul Getty in Ridley Scott's film All the Money in the World (2017) was reshot with Christopher Plummer. Spacey has denied the accusations and was found not liable in a 2022 civil lawsuit filed by Rapp in New York. In a separate criminal case in London, he was acquitted by a jury of sexual assault charges in 2023.

For the people who know he did smth, but didn't know what. I had always assumed bit was paedophilia or smth. Gay sexual misconduct was not gonna be smth I would've guessed, didnt even know he was gay. But then again I know nothing of any celebrity's life.

With the number of people from just the house of cards set making the allegations, it feels highly likely he's guilty.

it was rapps testimony that was most damning, plus rapp was already on STDiscovery so it gave him more clout to out spacey.

I remember him being accused of touching little girls and his only defense to that was "but I am gay?"

I mean, it's the one time he's guaranteed to not be named in a sexual assault case, so why not?

He saw Stephen King get called a nonce for claiming the list didn't exist and saw an opportunity.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Oh no, I thought King was one of the good ones. Is there still some hope? What was the context?

If it is supposed to be a joke, it didn't stick the landing

So Lemmy which is it? Because Trump is a convicted rapist... Spacy was aquitted. Y'all can't have both. Because if you still believe spacy did it then you have to by default doubt that Trump didn't.

Unless you just believe whatever the hell you want to for the sake of convenience but then you guys would just be... Hypocrites.

Because Trump is a convicted rapist... Spacy was aquitted.

Mostly incorrect. Trump is not a convicted rapist. He had been accused of rape and sexual assault numerous times, but has never faced trial. He was found civilly liable of raping Jean E. Carroll after the criminal statute of limitations expired.

Kevin Spacey was aquitted of legal charges in England and found not civilly liable in New York, but in Los Angeles he could not be charged because of the statute of limitations. In Nantucket, the prosecutor dropped the charges against Spacey after the main accuser refused to testify. In 2019, three Spacey accusers abruptly died, one of whom was in the middle of a civil trial against Spacey.

Its easy if you have nothing to fear because you are already convicted

[-] doublebatterypack@piefed.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

He's not worried because Epstein didn't traffic little boys.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We actually don't know that. We just know for sure that he and Maxwell trafficked little girls for a whole bunch of famous and powerful people who killed him before he could talk.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sure there's a different operation that caters for men that like little boys run by someone else we don't know about.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

We need to ask lindsey graham if there is one. Even if he didn't use the services, I bet he knows what it is.
