I've always liked Spacey. He dropped off the radar for a bit and it turns out he was behind a major Shakespeare production. You can see a documentary on Netflix called "NOW in the wings on a world stage." It made me respect him even more.

But the dude climbed into bed with at 14 year old. He didn't deny it. Motherfucker could cure cancer and I still couldn't give him a pass.

Not an attack on you and I realize you missed some of the allegations. Perhaps I'd feel different if he fessed up or paid real consequences or something. So far all he's done is claimed not to remember, blamed drinking, and then "came out" to try to deflect. Oh and I think he's going into some celebrity rehab or something.

This ^^^^^

Most recent allegation is he sexually molested an 18-year-old guy at some-of-another venue. Mother tearfully making the accusation last night on network entertainment.

Waitaminute... eighteen year old young man and you're claiming it negatively affected his manhood? I'm thinking maybe your son's lack of being brought up as a man, and straight out clocking Spacey when he took the shot at him, was what most negatively impacted his self-image as a man.

We send eighteen-year-olds of to fight freaking wars, for God's sake!

But a fourteen-year-old? Whole 'nother story.

I liked Spacey. I don't like Spacey any more.

Tell me about MJ. What exactly did he do wrong, other than destroy his own body?

A predator is a predator. A child predator deserves to have his head severed. He's dead to me, as are so many other big name actors.

he had a few molestation allegations lodged against him. he paid people off. Admitted to having slumber parties and other wierd creepy shit. He wasn't found guilty in a court of law but plenty of people think he was a sex offender!!

I've always liked Spacey in the few films I have seen.

And I think it is stupid to cut him out of a movie after it has been cut and approved. All done with the bottom line in sight.

But in the end, I don't care what happens to Spacey because he's a fucking creep. I. Don't. Care.

I love it because it is causing headaches in Hollywood and I'm for anything that gives them shit. Crash and Burn, please. It's a spectator sport.

That's it. Nothing that couldn't be swept under the rug...Some folks will scream he was innocent because he wasn't found guilty in court (neither was OJ Wink) , but one thing is certain, there were as many or more sordid tales about MJ as there are about HW, Kevin Spacey, or any other Hollyweird type. Maybe it was a smear campaign, maybe it was extortion, maybe it was the truth....I don't know, wasn't there. I do know that with that much baggage, if these stories came out about a Conservative pop icon, the media wouldn't have wasted a minute in chastising those who purchased the music after his death!

Believe me. My opinion since my post on the previous page has, err...evolved some since.

Spanked the helmeted muff miner for an unwilling audience, apparently. More than once, apparently.

What is it with hollywood types and watering the plants? I never knew that the "community" was so into gardening.

Hollywood should be renamed to Perv City.

BTW, a comedian did some shit in front of you 15 years ago, and you're only just now bringing it up? Yeah, right. I take you seriously. Sure I do. Roll Eyes

The Louis C.K. stuff has been out there for years.
Of course, pounding his pud has also long been a subject of his shtick. Not to worry, he is a comic genius and has the very best intentions so all hail the greater good.

As it stands now, anyone who comes out with some shit like this after years, has ZERO aympathy from me. I don't care what happened, because you didn't reveal it at the time, and now you're just jumping on the Me Too train. No way I can take such shit seriously. It's pathetic, really. Oooh wait, let's have some more of that horse shit about how brave are all these women who are making claims after years and years. Oh, yes, you are so very fucking brave. You're a hero. No really, you're a fucking hero. Roll Eyes
